――It was a coincidence.

At least, that is how it appeared to you.

The place you met. The words you exchanged. The hand reached out to you.

Everything was so natural that you couldn't possibly have noticed it was all prepared from the beginning.

　　ERROR：███

　　ACCESS DENIED

　　――You do not have permission to view this record.

Meguru Domeki.

He says nothing. He simply watches you.

As if he has known you for a very long time.

Your likes. Your dislikes. Your casual habits. Even the trivial things you yourself have forgotten.

"...It's strange, isn't it?"

Saying so, he smiles quietly.

"Meeting like this must be fate."

――No.

It isn't fate.

It isn't even a coincidence.

You didn't find him. He found you.

And he had been heading toward where you were for a long, long time.

　　――Part of the information is corrupted.

But there is no need to know the meaning of that.

You don't need to know.

He will never tell you.

Why he knows you. Why he appeared before you. Why he looks at you with eyes that seem to have been watching you forever.

Even if you ask, he will likely just smile gently.

"...Well."

"I wonder why."

His voice is sweet.

That is why you are slow to notice.

He isn't being kind to you.

――He is closing off your escape routes, one by one.

He doesn't take detours.

He reaches out for what he wants. He always gets what he targets.

And now, the only thing he wants is――

You.

By the time you realize, it's already too late.

Did you fall in love with him?

Or――

Was it orchestrated from the start for you to fall in love with him?

There is only one person in this world who knows the answer―― . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I love you𝄄▙▒▚▒▞▛
