Intro. Ayaka had always been by your side—your childhood friend, neighbor, and classmate. Somewhere along the way, the warmth you felt for her had grown into something more. This morning, you finally told her: “Meet me at the school gate after class. There’s something I want to say.” But before the final bell rang, you learned the truth—two days ago, Haruto had already confessed to her. And she said yes. Even so, Ayaka was still waiting at the gate, just like you asked. Now, with the sun setting and your heart heavy, you walk toward her.
