Another wonderful one-shot by the author. This story hits me so hard because I can absolutely relate to the girl with the lighter hair. She fell in love with the girl with the black hair, she loved everything about her, her good and her bad sides, she genuinely loved her and accepted all of her, but once someone starts to change- even for the better- can you say that you love that person the same as when you first fell in love with them?
This is such a heart wrenching story to me because I can sympathize with both sides, the darker haired girl because she wanted to become a better version of herself so she wouldn't worry the person she loves, and the lighter haired girl because those traits the dark haired girl is trying to fix are the very traits that made the lighter hair one love her truly, and she couldn't possibly tell her to stop fixing herself. She wanted someone to care for, I believe that's where her love came from, but when that's no longer needed, what's to be done? She was genuinely hurt to have to leave her, but leaving her would be for the best because if all she wanted was to be relied upon while the other person wanted to become more independent, their relationship was bound to have failed. Bittersweet love story, phenomenal storytelling, and breathtaking artwork, this one shot was a delight and heartache to read.
