---------
Chisaka Hisaki and Saeki Heisuke only met each other in the latter half of their lives. Deep scars wounded their hearts yet, they found comfort and healing in each other.

Alright! Since it had come to this, she could realize her unrealistic thoughts!

Second, she had to search for her old man.

And the most important thing! She had to prevent her old man from being imprisoned!

The younger Heisuke almost accidentally killed someone due to his thirst for revenge. Despite escaping death row, he still suffered a decade in prison.

After her initial plan succeeded, she finally met him!

The quiet young man was really him. Even though he didn't show it to anyone, she knew how soft and colorful his heart was; as soft as cotton candy, as colorful as the balls of yarns. 

Heisuke eyed the new girl in town with suspicions but, his heart felt strange. It went doki-doki.

Could anyone tell him, why this girl's eyes twinkled like the stars whenever they saw each other?

For Our Happier Path

Heisuke felt a lot better this morning even though his body was still aching.

Hisaki came here before she went to work. They had breakfast together.

Then, the young maiden, his dear girlfriend checked on his dressing before changing it to a new one. Before Hisaki left, she repeated the reminders.

"Don't get your wound wet. Even though you don't feel like it, still, you have to rest."

Heisuke bashfully nodded his head, "Okay."

Hisaki smiled in satisfaction. She glanced at Mrs. Saeki who was at home. The older woman was allowed to take a few days off to take care of her injured son.

"Aunt, should we have fish soup for dinner? It's good for brain injury."

"I'll buy some mackerel then," Mrs. Saeki quickly agreed, "How about having rolled omelet and spinach with soy and sesame as side dishes? Oh, we can grill the mackerel too."

"Can I prepare the soup?" asked Hisaki with a shy smile.

"You could. Leave the others to me."
