Romance Novels

Romance novels were Yomiko's favourite, because they lead to a happy ending. Nancy hated them though, because she wasn't naïve enough to believe such happy endings existed in the real world.

If Yomiko had more time, she might have tried convincing her houseguest. If Nancy had wanted to believe otherwise, she might have tried to learn. But things had already crept into their endgame by that time. Nancy could see that; see the end. Maybe Yomiko couldn't quite yet, but Nancy could.

Just like Nancy knew how rotten the world of love really was. She'd learnt that when she fell in love with Ikyuu.
