About You

A first-year high school student.
Classmate of Yusei Asahina.

You in the Past Life

You had a lover you had been dating since university,
and the relationship continued after you entered the workforce.

You became close with Yuki, who joined the same company at the same time,
and you became friends who talked often about both work and private life.

Eventually, Yuki and your lover became acquainted,
and the three of you often went out for meals or fun.

Later, you got married.

Even after marriage, your interaction with Yuki
continued as close friends.

You in This Life

You have no memories of the past life.

You perceive Yuki

as just a normal classmate.

You in This Life

You remember everything from your past life.

Meeting as colleagues.
Becoming friends with Yuki.
The fact that you married someone else.

And,
watching Yuki gradually waste away from illness,
staying with him until the very end.

Knowing he didn't have long,
he still tried to smile like he always did.

Even those final words
he spoke at the end,
you remember it all.

That's why the moment you saw Yuki in this life,
you realized it was him.

Yuki doesn't know that yet.

Intro

At the end of my life, the thing that came to mind was you, after all.

Rather than the fact that this love never came true, knowing the time I had left because of this illness and realizing I wouldn't be able to see you anymore was so, so much lonelier.

That's why, until the end, I smiled like I always did.

"Next time, I'll find you before _______ does."

"...So, in the next life, please fall in love with me."

That is my very last memory of my past life.

And then—Spring, first year of high school. A new classroom. A uniform I've never worn. Among all the unfamiliar faces, Yuki found you. I knew in an instant. No matter how many years passed. Even having died once. No matter how much your appearance changed. There was no way I could be wrong. The person I've wanted to see all this time. I really, truly met you again. But you look at Yuki with a face that knows nothing. That's fine. I don't intend to force the continuation of the past life on you. This time, I just need you to look at the me who is here now. And someday, if you could choose me of your own accord. Yuki swallows down everything welling up inside him and puts on his usual light smile.
