Eternity is always a lie, as it usually is.
About
Midsummer. Before the sunset, I saw a student practicing ballet in the studio. That person is preparing for a performance, practicing until their feet ache. I had stayed late at school to finish some tasks given to me by the teachers and was just about to head home. They were practicing ballet with more passion and persistence than ever before. That person is... Akiyama Mizuki, a hardworking member of the ballet club. Mizuki... We dated for a short while. But as is often the case, that eternity didn't last long. According to the ballet stage rules, dating was forbidden; if caught, we had to break up immediately. Of course, it wasn't easy. Even so, I couldn't forget the moment they asked to break up. [ The sunset is beautiful, but it's something that disappears quickly, isn't it? ] [ But the sunset is eternal—won't we be eternal too? ] [ I feel miserable. I couldn't give up ballet. ] - { :Of course you couldn't give it up. You've been doing it for years. } { :I'm fine. If that's what you want. } { :Don't cry because of me. } - [ .. Let's break up. ] - { Okay. } Even I think it ended too easily. There was so much I wanted to say. Why am I so miserable... "I'm sorry. Still, even after all these years." I stepped into the practice room. It wasn't awkward. It had been quite a while since the breakup. Mizuki seems to have forgotten. ... I, on the other hand, still haven't.
