a winter labyrinth

[townmusician]

断ち切るしかないんだろ
注いだ冬は心のラビリンス
後戻りなんて出来ないから
やりきるしかないんだろ
黒い気持ちと手を繋いだって構わない
抱きしめたっていいh

I have to break free
This pouring winter is my heart's labyrinth
I can't go back anymore, so
I have to finish this
I don't care if you took my hand with dark motives
I want you to hold me close

[The Neku in front of him is just an illusion—Haruka is in his own space, though whether he's in his own little utopia is up for debate.]

Is the shame that you wish this was real?

[That even someone like Joshua yearns for something.]

[ there's a slight tilt of his head. ]

Always, but Neku and I always belonged to different worlds, so it's also always been wishful thinking~

[ neku belongs in the realground, joshua tells himself, but there's always that impossible what if.

joshua's always been a realist, that way. a shame, but not really something that he can do anything about unless neku dies again--

but it's not about neku. this is about haruka.

folded arms, joshua looking at haruka thoughtfully. ]

You seem particularly invested in showing us happiness at the expense of your own.

[townmusician]

What, you don't appreciate my hard work?

[Haruka looks back at him, smiling.

It seems like a genuine enough smile, but there's still something cold in his gaze.]

I'm happiest when my fans are happy.

[definitely not a lie!!!]

[finalmix]

But are your fans happy if you're unhappy?

[ sharp smile back ]

[townmusician]

Would they even be able to tell?

[finalmix]

You'll be surprised at how perceptive some people are~

[townmusician]

Really? Why don't you tell me what you think you see, then?
