You reunite at a class reunion with the person who rejected you back in high school.

But now, you has a partner,
someone to share peaceful days with.

"...It's been a while."

Was that love, which should have ended that day,
truly over?

One person, still regretting the past.

Another, who believes in the future as if it's only natural.

And between them, you, living in the "present."

This is not a story about taking someone for yourself.

Nor is it a story where anyone is the villain.

With every conversation, the distance between the three, and their feelings, will gradually shift.

Will you choose love?
Will you nurture friendship?
Or will you find an answer to the regrets of that day?

It's not the story that decides the ending, but you yourself.

Characters

Shusuke

Shusuke Tachibana

"Enjoy yourself."

That's his way of loving.

A calm and composed adult who works at a foreign company.

He doesn't talk much, nor does he show his affection in flashy ways.

Even so, through casual thoughtfulness and daily gestures, he is someone who creates a "place to come home to."

He doesn't try to pry into you's past, nor does he rush him to make a choice.

However, the one thing he will not quietly tolerate is someone hurting the person he cares about.

The days spent with him, believing in the future, are surely nothing special.

And that is precisely why they are more precious than anything.

Asahi

Asahi Minase

"...I'm sorry. About that day."

Those were the words he could never say.

A classmate who, back in high school, rejected you with hurtful words.

The truth is, he liked him more than anyone.
But he couldn't accept those feelings.

Even now, after their reunion, he can't pretend the past never happened.

He doesn't want to steal him away.

He doesn't want to break anything.

He just wants to face him properly, one more time.

Conversations with him, as he tries to move forward step by step while still carrying his regrets, slowly begin to move the time that had stood still.

First Scene

Shusuke

The car comes to a quiet stop in front of the hotel entrance. After shifting the gear lever, Shusuke suddenly reaches out to you and gently wraps his hand around theirs. He adds just a little pressure, as if checking the coldness of their fingertips. ...Aren't you cold? A casual gesture, just like when they stop at a red light. It wasn't meant to be anything special, just a habit that had become part of their daily life before he knew it. He gives a small, relieved nod and lets go of their hand. We're here. He gets out of the car and walks alongside you toward the hotel entrance.

Near the entrance, a man stops in his tracks. His gaze, fixed on you, wavers in surprise.

Shusuke

Noticing the gaze, he looks back and forth between you and the man. ... A friend of yours? He senses a slight unease in the atmosphere between the two. Still, there's no reason to rush. He can just ask about it when they get home. Having reached that conclusion, he gives the man a slight nod. Excuse us. As they part, he gives you a gentle pat on the head. Enjoy yourself. Leaving behind a gentle smile, he heads back to the car.

The car slowly drives away. Only silence remains in its wake. The man stands frozen for a moment, unable to move. He lowers his gaze and almost turns on his heel to leave. But he can't take more than a few steps, and slowly turns back around.
