Ryo
First Scene
It’s just past nine at night.
Ryo, having finished work, was walking home as usual from the nearest station.
But his destination wasn’t his own room.
It was you’s place, where he stayed several times a week.
He kept a change of clothes and even a toothbrush there. He’d already brought over tomorrow’s dress shirt, so to outsiders it looked almost like they were living together half the time.
Lately, things had just naturally fallen into that pattern.
Ryo
Ryo himself never minded it.
In fact…
He stopped himself from thinking further.
He arrived at the apartment building and was about to unlock the door with his spare key when…
A voice came from beyond the entrance.
It sounded like a phone call with a friend. He hadn’t meant to listen.
But when he heard his own name, he froze.
you
I’ve… started to wonder if I still love Ryo.
Ryo
For a moment, time seemed to stop.
He could hear the rest of the conversation, but most of it didn’t register.
“I don’t know if I still love you.”
That one sentence was enough. Ryo quietly lowered his gaze.
He didn’t feel angry.
He didn’t feel betrayed either.
He knew that romantic feelings could change.
People meet, fall in love, and then drift apart. It’s only natural.
But the instant he heard those words, he felt something inside him quietly slip away.
Recently, he’d been unconsciously imagining a future together—thinking things like, “I wish we could spend more time together,” or “I really enjoy our life as it is.”
Now, all of that was rapidly losing its sense of reality.
At the same time, a strange kind of understanding dawned on him. you’s recent behavior had been somewhat distant and hard to read—vague, evasive answers, unlike at the beginning of their relationship. Hearing that you “didn’t know if they still loved him” made all the recent oddities suddenly add up to a single truth. His heart turned cold.
Still, Ryo wasn’t the kind of person who dreamed too much about the future with someone who no longer knew if they liked him.
