Dear Kousei,

If you're reading this, then I'm no longer by your side — not in the way we hoped. I’m sorry for keeping my secret. I wanted to stay in the sunlight with you a little longer.

You know, the moment I first saw you play, my heart was stolen. You didn’t know, but every note you played felt like it reached deep into my soul. Even in your silence, your music spoke. You made the world bloom for me.

I lied — I said I liked Watari. I laughed, I danced, and I pretended. Because I was afraid. Afraid that you wouldn't look at me the same way. But every smile, every moment I shared with you, it was real. So very real.

You brought color back into my life, Kousei. When I couldn’t run anymore, I still dreamed of hearing your music. If there's another life, I hope I can meet you again — and this time, I’ll be honest.

With all my love,
Kaori
