I am embarrassed to admit I didn’t clue in that the “second story” was Dai’s past until I saw that tattoo. That one broke my heart, had me in tears and then looking angrily for the tragedy tag that would have made me avoid the story. But I am glad I read it because it shows why he will grab onto love and fight for it, putting that person he loves first. This was a beautiful manga even without that backstory, but with it included there was more poignancy and sweetness to the story of now.
