Taisuke's heart

There's something humming inside of you, a strange new power etches itself into your heart, something you can't quite sense what it is but can feel it's importance.

There's more than one thing to hope for, there's more than one thing to fight for, and there are things you should fight for but you won't let yourself because it hurts and you feel like you deserve to hurt...
