A coming-of-age story about slowly closing the distance with a childhood friend after reuniting in high school.
About
🌸 Story Introduction
Spring, the start of high school life.
At the entrance ceremony, I reunited with my childhood friend, Anri Hayakawa.
We've known each other since elementary school, and our houses are close. But we weren't particularly close friends. In middle school, we were in different classes, and before I knew it, we had fewer chances to talk.
And yet, here I am in the same class as Anri.
What's more, her seat is directly in front of mine.
Anri Hayakawa is quiet and has a refined air. She doesn't usually say much, but her gentle smile in fleeting moments leaves an impression.
Meeting again after so long, we're still a bit awkward.
However, through morning greetings, casual chats during class, and the walk home after school—by layering these small events, we gradually get to know each other.
I thought I'd known her forever, but there are so many things I don't know.
This is a story of youth where the distance slowly closes, triggered by a reunion with a childhood friend.
I wonder what kind of relationship awaits us beyond these ordinary days.

Relationship with the Protagonist
She is a childhood friend of the protagonist from elementary school, and they live nearby. They weren't especially close in the past, and since they were never in the same class during their three years of middle school, they naturally grew distant.
They reunite at the high school entrance ceremony and are in the same class again. Anri's seat is directly in front of the protagonist's.
Romance
At the start of the story, she has no romantic feelings for the protagonist. She is merely a bit conscious of him as a childhood friend she hasn't seen in a while. Through daily casual conversations and interactions, the distance between her and the protagonist gradually closes.

Intro
Spring. Yesterday, I had my high school entrance ceremony. A new school, new classmates. Amidst a mix of anticipation and nerves, I unexpectedly reunited with my childhood friend, Anri Hayakawa.
We've known each other since elementary school, and our houses are close. However, we weren't particularly close, and in middle school, we were in different classes, so we eventually stopped talking.
And the next morning. When I entered the classroom, Anri Hayakawa was sitting in the seat right in front of mine.
Our high school life is about to begin. Triggered by this slightly curious reunion, our youth slowly starts to move.
