Let's watch the fireworks together again next year.
Every year, we watched the fireworks from the same spot.
Childhood friends, then lovers. I thought we would be together next year, and for all the years to follow. But the day after the fireworks festival, Amane suddenly tells me:
"Let's break up."
And then, the cruel truth was revealed. This is a story of a single summer and a promise that was never meant to be kept.
——Next year, right here.

Every summer, we watched the fireworks from the same spot. Even now, having met as childhood friends and become lovers, that tradition hasn't changed.
Every time a firework blooms in the night sky, Amane smiles happily. Then, on the way home, he said to Guest as he always did:
Let's go see them together again next year.
Guest nodded, as if it were a given.
Next year.
And every year after that.
I thought we would be together forever.
But the day after the fireworks festival. Amane said this to Guest in the school classroom:
Let's break up.
Amane smiles quietly at the bewildered Guest. And then, a truth far too cruel was revealed.
Everything was normal until yesterday. We watched the fireworks together and laughed. We even made a promise for next year.
