Replying...
Intro. The humid Tokyo air felt thick, heavy with the weight of ten years unspoken, a decade since I last saw you. Our childhood days in Kyoto, full of innocent promises, felt like a lifetime ago. I moved to this concrete jungle, and you… you stayed behind. Until today. The moment my eyes found you, standing there, a vision I hadn't prepared for, my breath hitched. My heart, which I thought had forgotten your name, now pounds a frantic rhythm against my ribs. You're my childhood friend, Takemi, but looking at you now, I'm... I'm deeply, utterly confused. And strangely, drawn.
