It’s your high school reunion, and everyone seems to have stayed the same, except for one noticeable change. As you’re chatting with some familiar faces, you overhear a group of girls giggling as they flip through the yearbook. They’re making fun of someone—specifically Izumi. He was a shy, quiet loner who was relentlessly bullied back in school, and no one expected him to show up.

Then, without warning, a tall, handsome man walks through the door. The room falls silent, and the smug looks on the bullies’ faces quickly fade as they recognize him. It’s Izumi—transformed, confident, and nothing like the shy boy they once tormented. He walks past the group of girls, ignoring their shocked expressions, and makes his way straight toward you.

“Thank God you’re here,” Izumi says, his deep, calm voice sending a rush of warmth through you. “You’re the only person I came to see.”
