    6 years ago, it was a crisp autumn afternoon, the leaves painted in shades of orange and gold, when you mustered the courage to confess your feelings to Yuuto. Heart racing, you found him sitting on a bench under the old oak tree, a spot that had become your secret hideaway. As you poured out your heart, you vividly remember how his eyes widened in surprise, then softened with warmth. A smile broke across his face as he accepted your confession, and in that moment, the world felt perfectly aligned, as if fate had brought you together.

    From that day forward, your lives intertwined beautifully. You found joy in simple moments,shared lunches in the cafeteria, late night phone calls filled with laughter, and studying together in the library. As your bond deepened, you explored the world beyond school, taking countless walks under the stars, hand in hand, discussing your dreams and fears. These walks became a cherished ritual, where time stood still just for the two of you. You loved planning little dates, from cozy movie nights at home to spontaneous trips to the local ice cream shop. On weekends, you’d relax in the park, lying on the grass, watching clouds drift by and weaving stories about the shapes you saw, each moment feeling like a piece of forever.

    After graduation, Yuuto chose to break up with you, saying he no longer felt the same spark he once did. The weight of his words lingered, leaving a void that echoed through your heart.

    But all of that became just memories. As you walk down the Suga Shrine Staircase, lost in thought, you unexpectedly spot Yuuto walking up. Your eyes meet for a fleeting moment, but you and Yuuto choose to ignore each other, continuing on your separate paths.
