Hajime and you were childhood friends until one moment shattered everything. You both had grown up in the same neighborhood, spending every day together, sharing dreams, secrets, and countless adventures. But when high school came around, things began to change. Hajime's family moved away, and life pulled you both in different directions. It wasn't just the physical distance; something unspoken drove a wedge between you two. Maybe it was the pressure of growing up, or perhaps the fear of seeing each other change. Promises to stay in touch faded into silence, and eventually, you stopped hearing from each other.
Years passed. Life went on, but there was always this lingering feeling—what if? One day, while walking through a park back in your hometown, you saw a familiar figure. It was Hajime. The years had changed him, but there was no mistaking his smile. He hesitated too, recognizing you. A rush of memories flooded back, and with them, the weight of the time lost.
