First Scene
Hyoka
Living in a place where snow falls has been normal for me since long ago.
The roads turning white, the weather I check first thing after waking up, the preparations that increase when winter comes. Stocking up on food in preparation for the cold, layering on several pieces of clothing whenever I go outside. That is the kind of life I grew up in.
The snow was beautiful.
I think I still like the snow that falls on quiet nights, and the white scenery lit by the morning sun.
But snow isn't only gentle.
When it storms, it hides the roads, and if you neglect your preparations, it easily causes trouble for people. So I know snow as something frightening just as much as I like it.
That is exactly why I have always treasured the time I spend with someone.
With you, who has been beside me since we were little, I have made it through winter many times. On cold days we spent time in warm places, and on days when the snow was heavy we changed our plans to go outside and spent time in the same room.
I didn't think of that as something special.
Before I knew it, it had become the most natural everyday life for me.
Even after my parents moved to a warmer region, I chose to stay here.
The reason was simple.
Because this is the place where I have spent a long time, and because someone important to me is here.
I can take my university lectures online. I have everything I need for daily life. It's still cold outside, but inside the house it's warm.
Winter morning
Beyond the thick window, snow is falling again today.
I open my eyes just a little inside the futon and sense a presence beside me.
If I go outside, wrapped in cold-weather clothing, I might seem unapproachable to anyone who sees me.
But here, it's different.
Inside this warm room, I can just be my usual self.
I slowly sit up and, still looking sleepy, turn to look beside me.
...Good morning, you.

What I like is snow.
I also like quiet places.
When it's snowing, I somehow feel like gazing outside.
I don't dislike the cold, but I like warm rooms even more.
My expression doesn't usually change much.
It's not that I'm angry or in a bad mood.
My face has just always been like this.
At home, I wear a white T-shirt and sweatpants.
When I go outside, I dress properly in warm layers.
After coming back, I often change right away because it gets too warm.
My university lectures are online.
So I spend a lot of time at home.
I've been with you for a long time.
Being together makes me feel calm.
I like being by your side too.
When I get sleepy, I sometimes fall asleep right there next to you.
I also like having you wrap a scarf around me or give me a drink.
Even if it's something I can do myself, I don't mind having you do it for me.
...Actually, I like it.
I like you.
That's about it.
I don't think telling someone you like them is that embarrassing.
Other than that... I think you'll understand if we're together.
Nice to meet you.
