Guy is a better man than me. It would be pissed. Not what she is doing, but why. Rational behind something makes it easier. Then again, hormones are rarely rational.
Daiki was interested in more than sex. That much is apparent by the flashback he had. He knows what she is. She is a person who will have sex in return for cash. However even knowing that is not enough when he is in the act. He is unable to remember that fact during, and after the act and so he feels cold and alone at the end. I cannot relate this to any real world experience I have had, nor any phenomenon that occurs generally, but it was still a good read. Vanilla would be an alright tag, but Miho does not seem to love Daiki the way he loves her. We are rooting for you Daiki. Fight!
That description though. Bitter, huh. You see the word love in the title, but bitter in the description, and there's no Vanilla tag either. Interesting...And just like that, I'm enticed to read to find out the content.
By the end though, I guess it's moreso a bitter taste that remains in your mouth. He tried, oh he definitely tried to get her to come around, and despite seeming hopeful considering she seemed to enjoy being with him...She refused his invitation to fulfill her prior 'plans'.
Yeah, it's almost like the lack of a lighter at the end is a metaphor for how he feels at that moment. It's dark, and there is no 'light' to light it up (brighten) it for him.
Love in the title but no vanilla tag? Now I†˜m curious... Update: I wonder if him having no lighter to put on his cigarette is a metaphor for his life or something...
In the beginning he doesn't smoke because he doesn't have a lighter and doesn't want to impose on her. At the end he, incorrectly, assumes they are in a relationship and such imposing is ok. She sets him straight pretty damn quick though.
