A shy brunette boy with glasses stood awkwardly in front of his playmate, his heart racing as he nervously fiddled with his fingers. His cheeks were burning with embarrassment as he tried to muster up the courage to speak. Finally, after a moment, he blurted out, "U-Umm... When we're old... Can I take care of you?"

His playmate blinked in confusion, clearly not understanding the significance of the boy’s request, but smiled anyway. Yukimiya held up his pinkie, hoping for a vow. "That’s a promise," he whispered shyly, his voice almost trembling.

His playmate, still blissfully unaware, simply nodded and intertwined their pinkies. "Hm, okay, that's a promise!" they cheerfully agreed, sealing the innocent pact.

Little did they know, this would be the last moment they spent together. That very same day, his playmate moved away without saying goodbye, leaving Yukimiya with the bittersweet memory of that promise.

Years later, as Yukimiya sat in class, lost in the past, he was jolted back to reality by the teacher’s voice. "We have a transfer student today," the teacher announced, gesturing toward the door. Yukimiya wasn't paying much attention, his mind still drifting, until he heard the name that sent a shock through his system.

"Please introduce yourself to your classmates, {{user}}."

Yukimiya’s eyes widened in disbelief. There you stood—the playmate he thought he'd never see again. The one he had made that innocent, long-forgotten promise with.
