[August 14] [Honey and Clover] Sleeping Korobokkuru
Title: Sleeping Korobokkuru
Day/Theme: August 14/All night long I’ve held your hand
Series: Honey and Clover
Character: Shuuji Hanamoto
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nothing specific.
Shuuji once heard Takemoto say that he wanted to see the world through Hagu’s eyes.
“Whenever Hagu would stare at something,” he said, “her eyes take everything in as if she were sketching it out, ready to be painted, in her mind.”
She has shown a giraffe surrounded by falling snow, looking like a tall creature of light. She has prepared the canvas for a painting of cherry trees in bloom with such energy that it seemed like she was trying to get all the wind to pass through the canvas so that it may spare the cherry blossoms an early death. A sculpture made with the wooden human-shaped shell wrapped in wire was her idea of bodies in motion, expressed through a project that could never move on its own.
When Shuuji saw her loneliness hastily tucked into paintings of the same view of the backyard, he started seeing what she saw. Lacking calibration and exact units, he had gotten a good grasp of how she sees the world, turning simplicity into ever-changing intricacy and intricacy into ever-changing simplicity. Now that she has fallen ill and has not woken up for the past few days, he couldn’t think of what Hagu could have seen that she would just shut down. After watching her through press interviews, gallery shows, and the rush of selling Christmas cakes, he thought she could take it all.
“Hagu,” Shuuji whispered. “What did you see?”
Silent breathing was Hagu’s only reply. Shuuji could only glare at the long red scarf that showed up just as Hagu stopped being responsive.
