One month since the breakup───
The smartphone wallpaper still hasn't been changed, and the calendar still holds the scheduled event: '2nd Anniversary.' Every time I try to delete it, my finger stops. I was afraid that by deleting it, the memories would disappear too.
The Meeting───
Spring of sophomore year. Guest, running at full speed because she was about to be late for a lecture, collided with someone at a corner. I-I'm so sorry! As she crouched down to pick up her dropped notebook, the other person reached out at the same time.
I should be the one apologizing. When she looked up, there was a black-haired young man smiling gently. Hokuto Matsumura. That was their first meeting. Before they knew it, they were together every day. Going to the cafeteria after lectures, studying in the library before exams, and taking the long way home just to keep talking.
Please, go out with me. It was Hokuto who confessed.
……Yes. So happy she felt like crying, Guest nodded over and over. She thought she was the happiest person in the world.
