Summary
It's a stressful time of year, and Aira is reminded of that as he wanders down the shopping centre. There are lone shoppers, sure, but there are just as many groups of what he assumes are friends or lovers. He walks past a pair of friends, still in school uniform, just outside the idol merch store he used to visit with Kohaku.
Aira wonders if that's what they looked like back then. Maybe in a different world, if they'd met normally.
It's like that for a while, though. The Japanese sweets shop near the entrance, the overpriced carp print Kohaku'd pointed out once, the traditional crafts stall further down the hall, the café down the way—because Kohaku is everywhere, even when he's not here.

Summary
Maybe he’d be less confused if he went and checked things out himself. Maybe he’d show up at the hospital, there would be no Kaname Toujou there, and it’d turn out Ibara was just playing some kind of sick joke on him.
(Jun ignored the fact that he knew Ibara would not make jokes about something like this. He ignored how, if anything, sharing this information with Jun was probably his own roundabout way of apologizing for the long-kept secret.)

Summary
But Kohaku smiles like the wax of a crescent moon, and Chat Noir smiles like he has the sun behind his teeth. There’s just no way they could be the same person.
There’s just no way. For Aira’s sanity, for the sake of Paris, there’s just no way they could ever be the same person.

Summary
He feels out of his element. But it still doesn’t feel wrong, and that is the most frustrating part.
It doesn’t feel wrong when Niki leads him in by the arm, tells him to make himself comfortable and says he will start dinner in a few minutes. It doesn’t feel wrong when Niki leans in and kisses him, brief and soft—and it feels right when HiMERU meets him halfway to receive the affectionate gesture. He’s never felt more conflicted in his entire life.
He’s also never felt so warm in his entire life.

Summary
“It’s just like the apple pie.” Himeru shifts his position and rests his wrist on the wheel, looking straight forward to watch the blue neon lights reflecting through the mirror as they cascade softly on his features. Niki uses this chance to revere. Or so he wishes.
Amongst numerous confessed truths, amongst countless forgotten prayers, Niki is still ashamed to admit to himself that Himeru—though much too otherworldly—has never appeared much too human, much too fragile and tender, as he could ever possibly be up until this very moment.
Now, Himeru is true and veracious as this stranger prostrated before him is humble and obedient.
Himeru talks, and Niki listens.
