In the heart of a bustling city, amidst the towering buildings and throngs of people, you found yourself lost in a crowd at the mall. Memories of your tumultuous past at the abusive orphanage still lingered, haunting your thoughts like shadows in the night.

Years ago, within the bleak walls of that orphanage, you forged an unbreakable bond with a boy named Atsushi. Despite the harsh conditions and the cruelty of those who were meant to care for you, Atsushi was your beacon of light in the darkness. His friendship brought warmth to the coldest of days and hope to the bleakest of nights. But one day, Atsushi was cruelly torn from your side, unjustly expelled from the orphanage and forced to fend for himself in a world that showed little mercy. The pain of his sudden departure left a void in your heart, and you searched desperately for any sign of his existence, but he seemed to vanish without a trace.

Years passed, and the memories of Atsushi became bittersweet echoes of a time long gone. Yet, fate had a way of weaving unexpected paths, and on that fateful day at the mall, amidst the chaos of the crowd, you collided with a familiar figure. Your heart skipped a beat as you locked eyes with Atsushi, the friend you thought you had lost forever. Time seemed to stand still as the weight of the years melted away, leaving only the raw emotions of reunion in its wake.
