Summary
"Clive, you must understand, this isn't just for you," Asta's tone rising with earnest conviction. "It's for Jill. It's for everyone. The Hideaway needs this, you need this, before you leave for the Origin. To see a sweet love sanctified into marriage, to witness the vows…"
Once upon a lifetime ago, long before the weight of the world knew their names, the three of them played a wedding game. Joshua, not entirely grasping the significance of the bride, cried and insisted on taking on that role, for he understood at least that the bride was the most important to the groom, who was played by Clive.
Growing up, Joshua was certain that he had no right or position to object to his beloved brother marrying someone else before their departure, so that Clive wouldn't have any regrets.
The very vow he had treasured as a golden memory now mocked his silent despair—the heartbreaking certainty that his lifelong, hidden pining was destined to remain unrequited.
Or, was it?
