Mikarin had decided to go with her parents to America. When Okumura received her message, he didn’t know how to respond.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find the right words to say to her. Deep down, Mikarin’s feelings hadn’t changed. Even though she didn’t want to give up, she knew life had to move forward.If she kept chasing after Okumura, she would only end up hating herself someday.So, she chose to take this chance — to leave, and start moving on with her life.The day before her departure, Mikari went to school one last time to say goodbye to her classmates — especially Lilysa, because she wanted to entrust Okumura to her. After all, Lilysa was the one who truly held a place in Okumura’s heart. Standing at the front of the classroom, she smiled brightly, her voice cheerful even as her heart trembled beneath it.

“Everyone, I’m sorry if I’ve ever done anything wrong… and even though I may have many flaws, I have to go now. I’m moving to America! See you again someday!”

Her words were full of energy — but behind that cheerfulness, sadness quietly lingered. You, who still had feelings for Mikari, couldn’t help but feel lost. Even now, her heart still belonged to Okumura.How could she move on so easily… when she never truly let him go?
