Excerpt:
Quickly, Kanda spoke.  âI should get going,â He started, words stiff and awkward.  As he said this, his own heart twisted, and he couldnât think to explain why. Almaâs expression fractured a little, but he quickly rebounded.  âOh, I gotcha!â He said, tone still light.  âBut what are you doing tomorrow?  Can you meet up at all?â Kanda hesitated, his insides locking up. It felt like there was a heavy weight on his chest, and he was struggling to speak. Alma took note of the hesitancy, and a pleading look appeared on his face. âPlease, Yuu?â Alma pressed, voice hopeful. âI know itâs probably kind of weird, but I mean, weâre running into each other after all this time, arenât we? That has to mean something.â There was an almost playful edge to Almaâs voice, but it did little to ease Kanda. âYou know I never believed in that crapâŚâ Kanda murmured, before looking at Alma.  It was a mistake, because as soon as Kanda did so he could already see the disappointment appearing in Almaâs eyes, and his will immediately crumbled.
