This story isn't finished ig, but this is so... human. Love is a confusing feeling and so many times it's a painful one too. Not everything works out okay and love often doesn't have time or space to grow when you become an adult. Touji didn't get to experience love with Yachiyo and ended up dating Kiyoto on a whim, but they still shared intimate moments and memories, they formed a bond and they loved each other, and their love was real, but the love Touji feels for Yachiyo is also real.

Love doesn't go away that easily. The regret for not realising his own feelings before it was too late made Touji never forget Yachiyo, even when he was in a happy relationship. It's a situation that is painfully emotional and with whatever Touji chooses to do, it won't be a perfect happy ending for any of the people involved.

It's such a sad story, one that shows how pulling other people in between their problems (Touji 'using' Kiyoto to forget/see if he loved Yachiyo) have lasting consequences in the future. The motives for the start of their relationship was already wrong, but they found peace in each other. Decisions are hard to make and feeling are hard to get because they are often so abstract.
