Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’re not having second thoughts about this, are you?” Nino asks. “Because if you are, I’ll drive the getaway car.”
Too cute.
“But that’s their problem, isn’t it?” Nino says, his voice rising and echoing in the chilly hallway. “Not yours. You shouldn’t have to physically contort yourself to have some semblance of a normal life and interactions. Everyone should just fucking control themselves.”
Preach. Say it louder!
“Everything about you makes me want to be better. Just being around you… I know I can do better.”
That’s on healthy relationships
“Please do not try so hard to alter yourself,” Haruka says. As he speaks, Nino lifts his head and opens his vivid eyes. “I feel that you are lovely now. Just as you are.”
“Haruka,” Nino interrupts, laughing. “Why are you bumbling?” “I don’t know,” he says, rubbing his palms against his face. Happiness feels so foreign to him. Awkward—as if he’s suddenly wearing his shoes on the wrong feet. He doesn’t know how to settle into this feeling.
Life handed him lemons. Instead of making lemonade, he packed his suitcase and left the fruit rotting on the counter.
