<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ac/Taro03.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Taro Ikeda (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257738.msg12730054#msg12730054)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Flashback - a few days before school starts, breakfast time<br/><strong>With:</strong>Shizuma + Open<br/><hr/>To sore above the clouds, to fly, leave Earth behind and play among the stars... That was about the  most wonderful and most frightening ideas Taro had ever heard.<br/><br/>"So that really is what you meant?" He shook his head and sighed softly. He turned his hand to hold the one she had reached out to him, laid his other hand on it and held her hand in both of his hands. "I trust you, Shizuma, but flying isn't natural to me. I trust you, but...<br/><br/>"Imagine the you before you discovered your powers, being invited to something like this. What would you have said? In my heart I trust you, but there is also a part of me that ... wants to better understand your powers, before I agree to this."<br/><br/>He withdrew his hands from her and held them at his side, while he looked down, bowing his head in a gesture asking for understanding and forgiveness.
