Just like that, the music captivates the audience, in such a way that they resent its absence... Yes, it’s exactly as Ajino Sousuke’s playing once did.

I’m just lolling here lol
I’m watching Piano no Mori and granted it’s been a long while since I’ve read the manga, Shuhei’s just like “I’m gonna defeat you! you’re my rival!” and anime Kai is just lol “lol I’m not gonna fight you you’re not my rival” and later in the manga he’s just like... my rival is Ajino
fuck yea
also these scenes I’m... 👌👌👌
“To have a talent this special...”
(sob sob)

I’m gonna drop this here without context
man, I really wanna compile all the AjiKai scenes. I can’t wait until “I came back here just so I could play with you!”
the way he looks at Ajino, I’m going to fucking DIE
and then he just says what he needs from Ajino is this--and then he fucking TAKES AJINO’S HANDS, and just... “this is a good luck charm” and prays. i’m just.
fucking gay.

At last, the curtains have closed.
God. I’m just-- I waited so long for this. I mean I posted the finale last December, but... seeing it translated in full is really magical.
Kai’s made it his life’s goal to surpass Ajino, his rival for life. The one he respects most. Man, I’d love it if by the time Ajino recovers fully, Kai’s new favourite pianist will be Ajino instead of that blandass cardboard Shuuhei. ; -;
3 years ago, I wrote a summary timetravel AU here, Rewound, for Ajino/Kai, where Kai meets the younger version of Ajino--back in his prime. nnnghghghh I want that more than ever. It breaks me how they aren’t going to be able to grow old together, that Ajino is so far ahead ngaaahahh. Actually, I have no idea how old Kai is now. I would assume with all the time skips and passing time he’s gotta be at least a young adult now.
With Kai as Maria, I bet there were a lot of people who mistook them as a couple. Ahahha! That arm grab!
Knowing that they’re going to spend the passing years with each other in their peripheral, whether near or far, improving their piano together.... god. That’s the profound stuff I live for.
