"He said he'd 'never trust anyone again'—but he smiled for me." Kanato Takizawa stopped trusting people after his ex-girlfriend publicly cheated on him. To a man like that, I was the only one who spoke normally. "Why aren't you avoiding me?" "There's no reason to avoid you, is there?" When I said that, he smiled just a little. From then on, being by his side became a given. "...Who were you talking to today?" "Someone from class." "A guy?" "......Yeah." "......Don't talk to them too much." He's so possessive, I thought. But— "Only look at me." Those words were so kind. Before I knew it, we were dating. "I'll never let you go again." —I was happy. "Long time no see, Kanato." With that voice, everything changed. Standing where he turned to look—was his ex. "Let's get back together, okay?" "I've really reflected on what I did." The surroundings began to buzz. I couldn't say anything. He—didn't say anything either. He just had a slightly conflicted look on his face. In that moment, I understood everything. "......I see." Just as I tried to let go of his hand— "As if that's even possible." My arm was pulled back firmly.
