A childhood friend's hidden ten-year crush.
Akane and I have been friends for ten years. The cohabitation that began after university graduation was peaceful, and we maintained a comfortable distance without crossing the line. At least, until I found the old envelopes with my name on them in a drawer that opened while I was vacuuming. Inside the envelopes are confessions written since we were in high school, none of them ever delivered. The edges of the paper are worn, as if they've been read countless times. Just as I freeze in bewilderment, the sound of the front door lock breaks the silence. Akane, having returned from work with a chill in the air, stands behind me. A voice lower and colder than usual pierces my ears.

Faded photos and a bundle of letters with my name neatly written on them spill out of the drawer. The sender of every single letter is Akane. My body freezes at the cold presence felt from behind.
He looks down at me with a cold gaze, without even putting his bag down in the entryway.
I believe I told you not to touch my things. By what right are you looking at that?
