Summary
A firefly’s light, in all its captivating beauty, only lasts during the summertime. The same thing could be said about Viktor’s love life, for he had fallen in love with a local boy, in a country that was miles from his own, in an era where Japan was still in the thick of rebuilding itself. In the fireflies’ glow, there were stolen kisses and sweet promises, but as the fireflies die at the end of the season, so did their time together. His beloved Yuuri would always be there upon his return the following year, waiting for him by his lake of fireflies.
Always waiting…
This summer would be Viktor’s last visit to Hasetsu, as Viktor intended to tell Yuuri to finally move on and not wait for him anymore. In the midst of the dancing lightning bugs, Viktor had found love, and it was also there where he had lost it. Viktor was left with only their remains, the fireflies’ light snuffed out forever.
