Universal S Town August 2035

In Universal S Town, a silver-haired man was hiding not in his home but the Terashima Family manor. Kiryu was undoubtedly surprised when Sumire-san personally helped him escape from the reporters. She laughed along the way and said that it reminded her of old times. Kiryu, however, didn't find that amusing, he knew full well the details of what happened back then. Somebody died during that incidence, and it left an even greater mental scar in the older woman's heart. So far the reporters had yet to figure out where he went. Nobody saw Sumire-san take him out after all.

A deep sigh passed his lips, what an annoying situation. Even back when he saw Rosalia and those other girls, he never got into a sex scandal before. However, this time around when he didn't do anything, the reporters coincidentally caught him out? It didn't help that the women he used to sleep around with, used this as an opportunity to get back at him for suddenly leaving them.

For the last few days, he saw many women come forward and claimed how he slept around and did many bad things. Kiryu rolled his eyes when he recognized them all. Girls who used to attach themselves to him, even when he refused them.

Girls who he felt terrible for and helped cover up for. When he told this to Rosalia, she always laughed at him and said he is too easy to manipulate. Now he understands why karma sucks.

Though he did none of the things other than sleep around, now people are trying to find links to his involvement in drug, **** and murder cases. People, who are easy to manipulate? The media. When they catch wind of a scandal, they don't bother researching it properly. Even though, if they do research, they will get more money since nobody would stop the news since it's true.

Kiryu, however, didn't know how to handle this situation. He knew he didn't touch Selia and knew the man in the video isn't him. But it was difficult to explain where he was that day without getting caught. He can't tell people he secretly paid a visit to Lila then.

His thoughts broke off when somebody turned the TV on, "Look," the person who switched it on was none other than his mentor and Lila's father, Terashima Yuhi.

"Yuhi-San?"

"My daughter is this stupid; it isn't time yet. But people will surely connect the dots slowly."

Kiryu watched as Lila made her way over to the mic.

The song she chose was something unfamiliar to him and yet, for some reason he felt..

"I started out as a small budding light.
On the night we met four years ago, that's when this budding light started to blossom."

His eyes widened in alarm when he hears the lyrics.

For him life had always been so simple there were no complications. As long as he followed whatever those guys said, he thought it would be okay. Since losing somebody important when he was younger he blocked out the rest of the world, or maybe he had just been born emotionless after all.


Kiryu thought it was best not to care; he felt it was best not to make too much of a fuss. Did he really think it was better for everyone that way? Or maybe he really wasn't born with any emotions at all. People would often call him cruel in the past. At the time the Kiryu never gave it much thought. However as he grew up, the words slowly got to him. He began to give it much thought until it crowded his mind a lot.

Maaya made the theory far worse by calling him a jerk. Now those words pierced on to his mind. But it's already too late to change things; this is the way everything should be. If anything Kiryu knew he wouldn't be able to run away that this was for the best.

But Lila was always different; she always went outside the norm even though her destiny. Destiny already chose her path for her. The girl's path was supposed to be covered in darkness, but instead, it's filled with a beautiful light.

"I always hid and chose not to step forward into the world of stars.
I was afraid
Whether it was of the light or darkness
But then you took my hand and showed me
the bright colors of the world.

And now I can increase the steps forward towards my dream.
Let me show everyone, my color.
The color you showed me.

People always said, not to over-rely on others.
For the longest time, my world only revolved around you.

But you know? That never bothered me. The two of us are our own people. We are both basked in different colors. People simply didn't notice since our colors became one.

Not even I realized when this was.

My heart is filled with the kindness of the colors you brought into my world," Lila sang.

He never deserved her, never once did he deserve the girl named 'Terashima Lila' his self-loathing on this matter is something he always kept to himself. But now it's stepped out into the limelight. The truth was, he didn't want to let her go. No matter what happened. Her feelings changed? So what, he could turn them back. Change them back, so she was only thinking of him and him alone again.

It's simple; she still loved him and yet he let her go. Kiryu often goes to see her. During those times he catches her interactions with Karashima. Right now she's very happy when he saw that he thought it was for the best that they broke up. But at the same time, he felt frustrated. Why isn't it him? Why isn't it him standing beside her during her brightest moments? Why isn't it him that she's smiling at anymore?

Kiryu already knew who was behind this incidence, but he allowed himself to get manipulated because he was still in despair about letting Lila go to Karashima's side. He failed to see the trap that Rosalia laid out in front of him. How stupid, he's the one who let Lila go, and now he's complaining?

His destiny was already laid out.

But when he meets Terashima Lila, everything changed.

Whenever he looked at her, all he saw is a person filled with dreams and hope — a girl who could offer so much for the world. Contrary to the girl's circumstances her eyes were filled with hope. Could you blame him for being curious? For wanting to desire that as his own? Everything about her, her words and her naive ability to see the good in everything despite knowing the darkness in the world is something he always wanted.

Maybe he was jealous, perhaps that's why he accepted her hand. His intentions then weren't clear, and yet Lila always saw their first meeting as something beautiful. She saw it as something that gave her hope and encouragement to face the darkness in her heart. Listening to these lyrics, Kiryu knew she was singing for him. How stupid, he wants to scold her. What is she doing?

"I will sparkle and bask in my own color.
The color of my star.
The world we see today may be filled with endless colors filled with a different flavor.
Whether it's darkness or light.
But whichever one it is. Don't let that stop you from shining.

Continue listening to the voice in your heart.
Let nobody stop you."
