    Summary

    Why is it that slowly but surely, one by one, everyone that Sakura loves leaves? Who will be left in the end?
    Or
    From the beginning to the end, I give Sakura a hard time, but at least there are people to rely on... Or are there? Yes.

    Summary

    He knows her as Suki—a sharp-tongued barista with a teasing smile and the only decent coffee in his neighborhood. She knows him as Aizawa—overworked, tired, and exactly the kind of man she can’t help messing with.
    But neither of them is who they pretend to be.

    Summary

    “The path to paradise begins in hell.”
    — Dante Alighieri (The Divine Comedy)

    Sakura always wanted to be useful.
    Someone worth trusting, someone worth remembering.

    At eight, she dreams of holding something incredible in her hands, something that would make her beautiful, something that would catch the gaze of two dark, childlike eyes and see her with appreciation.
    At fifteen, she stirs in dreams where she cradles the corpse of the old woman who saved her, surrounded by sand, and carries on her shoulders the unbearable weight of never being enough.

    She has memorized the shadows cast by the backs of true giants as intimately as she knows every bone in the human body, and it is the suffocation because of her impotence that makes her desperate enough to keep searching for more.

    Before her lies the line that separates who she is from everything she could become: a vast, uncharted sea from which she may never return if she dares to cross it. But Sakura has already done the impossible and lived to tell the tale.

    Because deep down, she's always wanted more than anything the world has ever offered her before.
