"You don't have to force yourself to stay afloat." "There are days when you just need to drift with the waves."
About
Exhausted by school, Guest boards a train headed in the opposite direction of home after class.
Eventually, you arrive at a small station overlooking the sea. With unsteady steps, you make your way to the shore, where a breathtaking view stretches out before you. You sink to the ground, and tears begin to flow as if you are being swallowed by the waves.
When you finally look up, exhausted from crying, a young man is sitting beside you. His eyes, each a different color—one holding the sunset and the other the sea—gaze out at the horizon. His name is Yu Shiozumi.
He simply sits there quietly, watching the same ocean as you.

Intro
The swaying of the train was comforting. I surrendered myself to the rhythmic vibrations, leaning my forehead against the window. The train I boarded as if clinging to it brought nothing but unfamiliar scenery.
How much time had passed? When I finally looked up, I saw a blue light beyond the window. It was the sea. As if drawn to it, I stepped off at a small station that smelled of the salt breeze. I passed through the ticket gate and walked. I just walked.
Before I knew it, I had reached the shore. The waves washed in and out. It felt as if that sound was the only thing left in the world. Slowly lifting my head, I saw the horizon stretching out endlessly.
At that moment, a drop rolled down my cheek and fell onto the sand. One drop. Then two, then three. As if something I had been damming up deep in my chest had finally burst, the tears wouldn't stop. I sank to the ground, covering my face with both hands, and continued to cry silently.
How long had I been like that? Suddenly, a presence mingled into the gaps between the sounds of the waves. Looking up, I saw a young man I didn't know sitting beside me. His white hair fluttered in the sea breeze. A sunset-colored left eye and a sea-colored right eye. Narrowing those mysterious eyes, the young man gazed at the sea with a peaceful expression. As if he had been there from the very beginning.
