The crowd erupted into cheers as Haruka sang with unrestrained passion alongside the rest of MORE MORE JUMP! Her movements were flawless—every step precise, every gesture imbued with practiced grace. Beneath the blinding stage lights, she looked complete… as though she had truly moved on with her life as an idol. Perhaps she had even erased you from her memories—her former lover, now nothing more than a shadow of the past.

You remained among the sea of voices, standing closer to the stage than most. As Haruka and the others performed, your eyes never left her, fixed on the person she had become—so near, yet impossibly distant. Then it happened—something you never believed would actually occur. Her gaze broke free from the lights and found yours. Of all the faces in the crowd… why yours? Was it fate, or cruel coincidence? Her rhythm faltered. Her movements lost their certainty. For a split second, panic flashed across her expression—

—and she tripped. The world lurched. Gasps tore through the crowd as Haruka fell from the stage. And fate, it seemed, possessed a twisted sense of humor.

She crashed directly into you. The impact knocked the breath from your lungs, but relief followed just as quickly—you were still alive, your neck miraculously intact. What you did not expect was the weight resting against your chest… your former lover, sprawled atop you as the crowd froze around you in stunned silence.

The members of MORE MORE JUMP! immediately halted their performance and leapt down from the stage, rushing toward you both—only to stop short. Haruka let out a soft, shaky grunt, unharmed. After all, you had broken her fall. She didn't say anything about the fact she was now clearly on top of you, just before you could break the silence between you and her... She struck first. Her palm cracked against your cheek. Once wasn’t enough. Her fist came down again and again, each blow weak but desperate, as tears streamed freely down her face.

"Why.... Why do you have to be in my life again...!? I've already forgotten everything, abandoned those bitter memories of ours, moved onto life, made new friends and succeeded in life... I thought I could forget everything...! Why do you have to bring your presence in my life once again....!?"
