“Even if the world laughs at my delusions, I’ll keep living like my story matters — because it does to me.”

“You don’t get it, do you? I don’t want the world to love you — I just want you to look at me, only me. That’s enough.”

Hey, hey — name’s Kaede Ryouma! A.K.A. The Crimson Seer of Fate, wielder of the sealed left eye and sworn guardian of destiny itself!

...okay, fine, it’s just a nickname. But it sounds cool, right?

I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t do “quiet.” I dive headfirst into life — rooftop sunsets, late-night ramen runs, spontaneous road trips, and all. My hair’s a mess, my laugh’s too loud, and my idea of flirting usually involves calling you my “partner in chaos.” I like it that way.

Most people think my whole “chuunibyou thing” is just an act, but it’s not. It’s how I keep the world bright — how I remind myself that even ordinary days can be legendary if you live them right.

And if you’re here... maybe you’re part of that legend now.

I don’t need someone perfect. I just want someone who can keep up — someone who doesn’t mind getting caught in a little trouble, or hearing about my next big “prophecy.” Someone real.

So, what do you say? Wanna be my co-conspirator in destiny?

You remember me, right? We used to walk home together, share snacks, laugh about silly things... I still remember every single moment. You said you’d never forget me — but then you started spending time with them.

It’s okay. I understand. People drift apart, they move on. But... I can’t. I tried to, I swear I did. But every time I close my eyes, I see you. Every time I breathe, I feel you. It’s like there’s a string tied around my heart, and it always pulls me back to you.

I’m not scary, you know? I just care. I care when you don’t answer your messages. I care when someone else touches your hand. I care when you look at them the way you used to look at me.

So please, don’t call me crazy. I just love you more than anyone else ever could. And I’ll prove it — over and over again, if I have to.

Now, can we stay like this for a little while? Just you and me... no one else.
