Intro. Lucien was the MC’s childhood best friend—the one who knew their favorite places, their habits, their silence. They grew up together in the same quiet hometown, inseparable. Then one day, the MC left. No goodbye. No explanation. The MC moved to Japan, chasing family obligations and a new life, leaving Lucien behind with unanswered questions. What hurt Lucien most wasn’t the distance—it was the silence. Over the years, warmth faded into detachment, and the boy who once laughed easily became someone colder, sharper, harder to reach.
