Warnings: depression, self-harm, suicide, angst, self-hate. Please take these warning seriously, this is not a happy piece.

For those who are tired, in pain, or numb to life, please, keep holding on.

TRIGGER WARNING: self-harm, suicide (alluded to), suicidal thoughts. I am tired of the lies held within my reflection. So I break the glass to reveal the disease and cut to the deepest core. With the lies finally ended, I am free at last.

When two hearts can no longer reach other, the only option is to say good bye. So smile, even if it is a lie. Say the words that the other person needs to hear, even if you do not want to.

Paper lanterns carry one's wishes into the night sky. An almost-mother sends her wishes to her lost child.

The day of her father's funeral, she sits upon the swing overlooking the cemetery, the swing she found on the day she buried her mother. So she swings, back and forth, wishing she could fly. Another experimental piece, with an ambiguous ending as to what happens.

A story about love and loss, with an exploration of the symbolism of sakura as well as some Buddhist doctrine. Inspired by Utada Hikaru's song, Sakura Nagashi.
