Cool-headed and sarcastic, stronger than anyone else and full of charm. That was the person called Nezumi. It seemed as if he could never waver, yet his heart was this childish. He still possessed such a childish heart that couldn't restrain his emotions and could become so flustered.

It was the first time he saw Nezumi shed tears.

It was the first time he saw him unable to restrain his emotions, choking with sobs. Only one feeling emerged from Shion's heart then, and that was love. It wasn't friendship, it wasn't yearning, it wasn't a romantic love and it wasn't awe. It was just love.

His defenseless tears made Shion feel boundless love. He wanted to protect him even at the cost of his life.
