“You know,” Ayako starts with a wiggle of her toes, “You don’t have to do this.”
Miyagi ignores the heat in his cheeks and painstakingly grabs the bottle of cola-red polish. His tongue curls at the corner of his mouth and he paints a small strip up the middle of her big toenail, “I know.”
Ayako frowns, “Ryota…”
“Can’t I just do something for you?” he can’t look at her—won’t look at her. He scrapes the excess nail polish from the brush against the rim of the bottle and paints the rest of her toes, using the blunt edges of his thumbnail to clean minute streaks left on her skin.
“It’s only a tiny sprain,” she says like—like it doesn’t matter. Like she didn’t know what he would do for her, if only she asked, if she only mentioned, if she even hinted at anything that she wanted or needed, Miyagi would trip over himself just to get it done.
“I’m gonna kick Sakuragi’s ass,” Miyagi grumbles and grabs the topcoat from the side of the bed, “He shouldn’t have been so rough with you.”
Ayako sighs dramatically and flops on the bed, “It’s my job.”
“Your job is to be the manager,” he scowls and grabs a swab with acetone, “You’re not a trainer or a coach or a—”
Tired of being there for people with no real problems making a big drama(yeah, no real problems and I would say it again) and having no support from them when things like having a beloved one with cancer means nothing to them.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.

Three hundred bloody yards. Is that the measure of despair?
Year after year, Roger hopes in vain that this date would never come again. As soon as the Halloween revelry fades, November appears as a shadowed silhouette to remind the old drummer that he won’t hear anyone call him “blondie” again. Once more, he’s aware of the certainty that his phone ringing won’t bring him a “darling” when he picks it up.
November is the fog around his heart repeating in an eternal and cruel loop that he is no longer here, with him.
