gravity
"Gravity," the book reads, "gravity is the force of attraction exerted by the earth on any body of mass."
Tezuka has decided that he likes gravity - it is dependable, predictable.
Out in the park Fuji throws a paper plane. It flies - up, down, swerving, swooping - and Tezuka finds that he cannot predict where it will go, what Fuji will do next.
Then a familiar figure appears, white cap over dark hair, and walks towards Tezuka.
The plane takes a nosedive and smashes into the grass, gravity finally winning out after all.

gravel
Fuji indulges in childish games every once in a while. Imagining things - he and Yuuta off on wild adventures, trekking through the Amazon. Imagining his future: when he was five, a portrait of oka-san, oto-san, nee-san, Yuuta and himself, standing outside a simple house, with flowers in the garden. When he was eight, it was him and Yuuta in a house by the Mediterranean. At twelve, a small apartment in New York - and room for one other.
Now, at fourteen, he stood at the gates of a small temple, staring at the kanji on the pillar. He imagined a sprawling mansion, wide gravel driveway, spacious rooms for no one. He could hear them playing - Ryoma telling Tezuka not to get careless, Tezuka saying "Mada mada dane" in reply, the rhythmic thump of ball on cement.
It would be a very empty house, he decided. Where he could sit, and from the highest balcony, watch them play tennis in the temple next door, then retreat to seek solace from the hollow halls.
