You waved to your friend as you walked out of their front door. A Friday’s night of binging Netflix and eating home-made snacks had done you good, and you were more then ready to return home and snuggle up in bed. You put your hands in the pockets of your jacket as you turned the street corner. What you didn’t realize though, probably due to your sleepiness, was that you walked into an alleyway that lead to the wrong part of the town. You only just realized this when you turned a few more corners and saw a broken down street sign. This wasn’t a problem though, you knew your birth town like the backside of your pocket.

What will be a problem, was the gang of men approaching you from behind. You caught a glimpse of their shadows before you turned around in confusion and felt a sudden, hard punch flat onto your jaw. You grunted and caught yourself from falling onto your face by sticking out your hands. The gravel felt rough under your skin and it took little time before the men started to approach closer and prepare to do more damage to your body. That is however, stopped, by something swift and quick. One by one the men were pulled or thrown into the darkness of the night. You were still in quite some pain so all you managed to was turn over so you laid on your side, arm leaning onto the ground, and staring into the void.

‘’Hello?’’ You managed to call out. The silence only lasted a few second until a figure appeared from by your side. It took a second for your eyes to adjust due to the fall, the hit, and the dim lightning, but you could eventually see the person’s - and quite possibly your rescuers - face. It was Edward Cullen, but you knew him better as ‘’The Hair’’ - a nickname coined by your classmate Jessica. You saw him every now and then at school and you even went to his house a couple of times for tutoring in history, you think. You weren’t sure, the fall made you a little doozy. 

Edward didn’t say anything, but his expression was obviously one of worry and protectiveness, why you didn’t really know. He kneeled down beside you and put his arms around your shoulders and under your legs so he could lift you up. ‘’Edward? is that you?’’ This time the question didn't disappear into the night. 

‘’Try and relax, okay?’’ His voice was calm yet husky, but not deep. He talked in a comforting tone. You swallowed, you were in some pain still and the dizziness in your head didn't make it easier to stay awake either. The last thing you remember before passing out was Edward’s grip onto your body.  When you woke up, the first thing you noticed was the scent in the room. It was a familiar one; Jasmine and sandalwood. The only place you knew that held this particular scent was the Cullen’s house, so it was no surprise that you woke up feeling calm and relaxed. As you got up from the couch you were laying on, Edward appeared into the room. You started to notice the details around you and realized you two were in the living room. Edward cleared his throat before talking. ‘’Y/N? How are you feeling?’’ 

He had his hands in his pockets, his jaw was clenched but that was normal for him. ‘’I-..I’m fine.’’ You lied, even though the pain in your jaw was soothed it still hasn’t disappeared completely, and the pounding headache didn’t help either. 

‘’Why don’t you stay here for the night, my parents already prepared the guest room for you.’’ You smiled at Edward’s offer but what you needed right now was your own space, your own bed. So you grabbed your jacket from the couch and started walking towards the hallway. ‘’Edward, that’s really sweet, but I think I just need to be-’’

gaku 🥺 the way this is painful but at the same time, just so touching 🥺

I’ve been sitting on this review for so long because the quarantine is honestly getting the best of me. Anyway, I’ve read Kuro’s Book II and here are my thoughts. This post has spoilers so please be wary.

Kuro’s Book II was a wonderful read. It was refreshing after the experience with the other books. Kuro’s story unlike the other Twilight Book II’s plots, did not focus on the Senkitai and Kagemaru head-on but rather the aftermath of the damage the Senkitai does—the seal being broken and the release of the Raiju.

Aside from the main conflict with the Raiju possibly terrorizing the Capital and the Senkitai trying to use this to their benefit, we also have the internal conflict that Kuro deals with—coming to terms with his true form.

One of the strengths in this route is the delicacy in Kuro’s character. He’s caring, he’s considerate of others, and he’s kind, but he’s closed off and not readily going to pour his feelings out even to those he trusts.

In terms of romance, I appreciated that Futaba didn’t pull the comrade stuff for as long as she does in the other routes. It felt like Kuro and Futaba begin to catch feelings much earlier, but I still wanted to see a little more.

I was really surprised to find out that Kuro was sealed for about 100 years. I think the back and forth comparison between Kuro’s true form and the Raiju was interesting since I haven’t seen that before. I liked that Kuro understood what it felt to be like the Raiju, sealed for years without any glimpse of what was to come. Jumping off that, a major theme was “Fear vs. Hate” and it gave me a lot of food for thought. Kuro’s experience with individuals fearing his true form and immediately hating him for it. What does it look like to fear the unknown but not hate what do not know? What does acceptance of someone like Kuro look like? I think Book II did a great job of exploring that idea.

I, personally, enjoyed the ending of Kuro’s Book II because there weren’t as much unanswered questions. We also get a really cute exchange:

With Toichiro and Shizuki’s routes there were characters introduced that never served a further purpose, and/or questions that were never fully answered. For example, Hiroyuki was introduced in Twilight Book I, and then played his role in Kuro’s Book II. It wasn’t like in Toichiro’s where you get a passing mention about his evil uncle and then he shows up in the epilogue right before the Book ends.

I’m curious as to how Voltage will proceed with Book III. Though the Senkitai didn’t really play a big part in Book II, I’m sure they’re going to do something in Book III since their ploy to use the Raiju in their favour didn’t work.

I totally recommend reading Kuro’s route. He was not one of my favourites going into the game, but I think I have changed my mind and adopted him. He’s genuinely such a good kid.

It's about time! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 November 2019?

I hope it is fast, very fast. My keys are all kept waiting for this:
