The simplest things seemed to make her smile: flowers blooming in spring, birds chirping in the morning. She’d been like that ever since she became a more constant presence in the Shinsengumi, ever since Souji made that stupid suggestion that she be my page.
Now, so far away from the events of back then…
It was a miracle if either of us could smile.
I know she tries to, but honestly?
It’s easier to watch her cry than it is to watch her smile.
I knew from experience how deceptive her smile could be.
Her tears, however, couldn’t be faked.
