Even though it might be short and boring, please bear with me as I talk about my best girl, Yocchan. Though it may be surprising to most, for someone as plain and down-to-earth as me to pick such a brazenly outlandish person, perhaps this is what they mean by complementing opposites?

Yocchan and I hadn't really gotten off to a good start at first. Back when we were recruiting her into Aqours, it had mainly been Chika and the other first years behind it all. Despite all our involvement, I hadn't really interacted with her myself. But through their eyes, I felt like I had came to understand this strange girl slightly better, even if her motivations had been unfathomable in the beginning. She's a girl who dares to embrace the unthinkable, who manages to find the magic in everyday life - no matter how crazy it may seem to other people. Even if others may find it annoying that she's always off in her own world, I find it quite endearing.

What does she see through those eyes of hers, I wonder? Lately, I've been trying my best to understand her world, and how everything, from daily training to getting ice-cream together, has its own little piece of magic so long as we open our eyes to it. Who knew life itself could be so much fun? Even if she's grounded when necessary, it's her childish optimism that makes each and every day such a joy to be around her. And it's half her craziness that drags me into so much trouble alongside her as part of Guilty Kiss. There's so much I would never have discovered without her, even it's embarrassing just recalling it.

And there's still so much more to her than just that. Despite her quirks, she's reliable when the situation calls for it. Amongst the first years, she's always the one pulling them along as a leader. Her cooking is great, even if she tends to use too much spice. When I have trouble with composition, she never fails to help me out - I'd like to think that those few songs with her influence might have been the best ones I ever made. And most importantly, my heart lurches every time she calls me Lily in that deep voice of hers. Yocchan, let's go on another cafe date again soon, okay?

No matter whether it's the Fallen Angel Yohane or Yocchan, this girl brings me so much happiness. It's both of her two halves that make up my own other half. Thank you for everything, Yocchan. I love you!
