how do i love thee? | let me count the ways. - evangelions - 君の名は。| Kimi no Na wa.

It’s the way she catches her fingers through the timbre of his voice, like the stars made sure to weave her fingers together in such a manner that they would graze the the sonorous bottom. The richness of his whisper like red wine, her dizzy fingers.

It’s the way his father looks at his son, in the eyes and with a silent but not invisible regard, that keeps her light enough for her heart to break. The way he says his name, hush against the crevices of his lips.

Taki,

It’s the way he empties himself like a mental form of hara-kiri, only to piece back together his disembowlment as soon as the sunrise. The sun pours across the horizon like blood, growing with the same rhythm as his knives. His knives, his fingers, measurements of empty.

It’s the way he loves, with his heart in little pieces like pins and badges all over his body, that seduces her and quiets her mouth. It’s in where her name spills across his lips in three angel beats, freeing his fingers and their joints, leaving them to search as they please.

Mitsuha,

Love the pacing of this, the word choice, and the way you weave together similar but unrelated ideas to create the mood. Honesty, this entire thing felt like melancholy, but I can't place exactly how you did that.
"His knives, his fingers, measurements of empty." What a great line.
My only issue is that I wish this was longer. I would have loved something more! It almost felt like a let down to get to the end, because I didn't feel a resolution to any of the emotions your writing stirred up.
But I obviously love it. (: thank you for posting it! It was a wonderful read.

  oh gOD thank you so much ahh! I'm so happy you enjoyed it :"))
  and haha to the length- when i wrote this, i was not as experienced a writer as i am now, and i'd only felt comfortable with writing shorter pieces, so i apologize for that! i definitely know what you mean when you say the emotion seemed to kind of just abruptly halt,, it was one of the reasons i almost didn't put it up, actually, so it's kinda cool you pointed that out !
