100x450 - 25 - no fighter no lover no more

The story always begins like this: once upon a time.
Once upon a time, there was a Japanese boy. He loved a Japanese girl. They were young, but this was a true love. They held hands in public and memorized each other's bodies in private. But one day the Japanese boy became a Japanese man, and the Japanese girl became a Japanese woman.
"If you love me, let me go," she said. He let her go. Immediately he regretted his decision. She did not return. His only solace was the story of a Japanese boy who loved a Japanese girl.
