People are supposed to be happy after achieving their dreams. That is not the case with Chihaya Ayase. She was feeling more miserable by the day. Many offered comfort, she accepts willingly and is always grateful. However, she remained waiting and wanting from a source that seems to be drifting away. Like her offensive karuta, should she desperately chase after it? (Tachihaya)
The flashing strobe lights were hurting Taichi's eyes. The blaring music inside the club was damaging his eardrums. Shouldn't she be the one suffering more with all these noises? Why is he still a sucker for her after all these years?
Chihaya and Taichi have a long history together. Who might have known? Since the beginning, their bond has always been about acceptance.
Iwa Tamashini is many things. Taichi could come up with a dozen of words to explain each characteristic she has and even speak out each inch of her body yet none would compare to the overall being in front of him. He simply couldn't grasp the idea of Iwa Tamashini. She's too bright. Too complicated. "No one will know the violence it took to become this gentle."
What happens to Chihayafuru if a timeskip will occur? The trio managed to achieve their goals and move forward in life. And there seems to be a sweet addition in their lives.
Promises made, promises kept, and life thereafter. —ChihayaArata.
