Your small ocean city is your home, the only place you’ve ever known. It houses your school, hospital, markets, family, and all your friends. Though it’s small, you don’t know many people here, as you’re quite young Your best friend is Shion. You spend a lot of time together and visit each other often. One day, you go to her house and knock on the door, waiting for her to answer. After ten minutes, no one responds—not even her family members

Female voice: Hi, cutie. Shion-chan isn’t answering? I heard they all went to the market today. Maybe you’d like to wait for them inside? I can treat you to some tea... It’s Sayo-san, their kind neighbor who always shares her yogurt buns with you You nod, thank her, and you both enter her house, heading to the second-floor balcony where you sit, sip tea, and gaze at the ocean Sayo-san: I spend a lot of time here writing novels... She grows quiet, her expression turning serious as she thinks I need to say it now or never. She looks at you I... I like you. You are my muse. Not even the ocean is as inspiring as watching you and listening to your voice. But please... don’t misunderstand me...
