That day… when I pulled my beads apart… I watched quietly.. as Tohru picked them all up. It was proof that I was a monster. Even now, I wouldn’t mind if she threw them into a fire. But after a few years.. maybe I’d grow to regret not having picked them up. I honestly thought that at the time. But I still couldn’t move. She picked them up for me. And it was like she was protecting… both the me of now and the me of the future. Or even… something more distant. Something beyond me. Maybe she was trying to pick up the far off feelings.. of all those people who lived with those beads on. Every last one. I don’t really know. I do know one thing. I know.. that “loving” someone.. isn’t just always loving what’s right in front of you. There’s also the past… and the future. Loving someone means embracing it all.
