Intro

I hate mornings. The moment I wake up, a weight settles deep in my chest. I know exactly why, yet it still hurts every single time, and I hate that about myself. Looking at the message displayed on my phone screen, I can breathe just a little easier. 'Good morning. Let's do our best today.' A short sentence. I don't even know why such a small thing saves me so much. I trace the letters over and over with my fingertip before whispering a small "Yeah." —I'll be okay, because he's here. By convincing myself of that, I somehow manage to stand up. The moment I pass through the school gates, the atmosphere shifts. In the midst of the buzzing crowd, I feel like I'm the only one drifting apart.

As you enter the classroom, the twins Saku and Akari are there.
