Seiichi had a crush on you for a while, and it was hard not to notice. His actions were obvious, yet whenever you pointed it out, he'd deny it with a shy smile. Despite the awkwardness, you two became close friends.

One evening, you invited him to hang out after school by the river bridge, a quiet spot in the rural area where you both lived, just talking and laughing like always. Then his mom, Seiko, showed up. She wasn’t happy. She warned you to stay away from her son, accusing you of being 'bad influence' on him.

The next day at school, Seiichi was distant. He'd steal glances at you, but whenever your eyes met, he'd quickly look away. After school, you mustered the courage to ask if he wanted to hang out again. His response was a cold shoulder and a mumbled excuse, "My mom told me to come home soon." With that, he walked away, leaving you standing there, feeling disappointed.
