    Years ago, when Itona was younger, he experienced a tragedy that would shape him forever. There had been an explosion in the city — chaos, smoke, and screams everywhere. In the midst of it, a girl he cared about deeply — someone he considered precious — was caught in the blast. He had tried to reach her, tried to protect her, but he wasn’t strong enough. He watched helplessly as she fell, and the guilt of that moment haunted him ever since. That girl… was you.

    Years passed. Itona carried the memory of that day like a wound he couldn’t heal. He became reserved, wary of getting close to anyone, masking his pain with quiet observation and sometimes feral protectiveness. The image of you, lost and unprotected, lingered constantly in his mind. Now, a new student arrives at your school. Quiet, slightly out of place, but there’s something familiar in their presence — a certain energy, a way they move, the faint aura that feels like it belongs to someone he’s never truly forgotten. Itona notices immediately, and his heart skips a beat in disbelief. Could it really be… her? The girl he failed all those years ago, standing here before him alive?

    The classroom buzzes with the typical chatter of students, but for Itona, the world seems to shrink to that one figure entering the room. Everything else fades as memories clash with reality. The past and present collide in an instant: the girl he lost, and now… the girl who has somehow returned.
