Chapter 1: The Unlikely Demise
"Love's initial harmony can be disrupted by a discordant twist of fate, leaving a lingering note of sorrow."
~Mongshi3
Riku was an average teenager, content with his routine life and his love for novels. His sister, Sakura, often recommended books to him, though he rarely found her taste particularly stimulating. One evening, she handed him a novel titled "Eternal Love," with a beaming smile.
"You should read this, Riku. It's really sweet," she insisted.
Riku sighed. "Is it another one of those cliché romance novels?"
Sakura nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, but it's so good! The hero and heroine get married and live happily ever after. You'll love it!"
" Boring! " Riku sighed.
You just don't get it, Riku. Sometimes simplicity is beauty, " Sakura replied with a smirk
"Come on, Riku, give this one a shot. It's different, I promise." Sakura insisted.
Reluctantly, Riku agreed to read it, if only to appease his sister. That night, he sat at the dinner table, the book propped open beside his plate, and began to read while munching on his favorite dish: ramen.
"This is so predictable," he muttered between bites. "No suspense, no thrill, just… love."
Suddenly, a particularly long noodle slipped down his throat too quickly, and he began to choke. His vision blurred as he tried to cough it up, but his efforts were in vain.
Sakura, not realising the severity of the situation, giggled at what she thought was an overdramatic reaction.
"Stop being so dramatic, Riku!" She laughed.
The world faded to black, and his thoughts were a mix of frustration and bemusement at the absurdity of it all.The last thing he saw was his sister's smiling face as he toppled off his chair.
