[ Was it? Oria experienced a certain kind of hell when his ex passed away, but he stayed strong and ignored the rumors because he knew they weren't true. He had to. He wasn't allowed to show weakness in front of people, because once he slips up, people would be on it immediately and tear him apart. He always played up his youth and what an 18-year-old boy was supposed to be, so his competition thought they could exploit that for their own gain. He always upturned it to their face and beat them at their own game. That was why he stayed on top and made it seem effortless. It's part of his image. That's who he's supposed to be. Fai saw through him about this, and his interactions with him have felt one-sidedly awkward ever since.
So, as it turns out, spending all his time into making that happen doesn't allow much time for anything else, like properly grieving for a loved one. He never enjoyed nor understood the appeal of taking pictures for the sake of memories. Memories are just things you remember and briskly walk away from. Move forward. That's all he can do. That's all he must do. Keep walking until you can't anymore. Keep your eyes on the future and make plans accordingly.
