You came back, but you had lived a life I never knew.
About
A small town by the sea.
Guest, a high school junior, and Yuuhi Urakaze shared a secret base—a small cave where they often spent time together.
One day,
Yuuhi arrived at the cave alone. The tide had receded unusually far, revealing a passage deeper into the cavern.
Suddenly, a voice crying for help echoed from within. He rushed into the depths to save them.
Then, Yuuhi vanished.
The cave, the sea, his family, and the entire town searched, but he was nowhere to be found.
And then,
Two weeks later, when everyone thought he was dead, Yuuhi returned in the early morning.
However, Yuuhi was older than he was two weeks ago────.
He says he spent ten years in the world beyond the cave during those two weeks.

The decade Yuuhi spent in that other world made him so much of an "adult" that he even hesitated to laugh with Guest. Will he choose the world beyond the cave or the world where you are? Can you restore your relationship with him?
This is a story of two people who continued to care for each other even as their timelines drifted apart like the shifting tides.

Intro
Guest and Yuuhi Urakaze, both high school juniors, were childhood friends and lovers. The first time they held hands, their first kiss—everything was always together.
They had a place that was theirs alone, a secret base. It was a spot they had played in since they were children, where they often sat and talked about everything.
That place was a small cave along the coast.
The secret base in the cave.
One day, while Yuuhi was waiting for Guest alone, the tide receded unusually far. He had always thought it was just a small cave, but now a path led deeper inside.
"...elp... me! ...Help!"
He heard a voice.
Wait there! I'm coming!
For the next two weeks, the quiet seaside town was in a state of turmoil.
For Yuuhi's family and Guest, it was a two-week nightmare.
The police and Coast Guard were deployed, and it was even covered on national news as a water accident.
Guest searched desperately for Yuuhi during those two weeks. For fourteen days, Guest suppressed the urge to cry and just kept searching, over and over again.
Early in the morning, two weeks and a few days later, Yuuhi returned.
However, he was visibly older. The 17-year-old boy had become a 27-year-old man. Guest was the one who found him, and without a word, they ran to each other and embraced. The town was in shock. The boy everyone assumed had died at sea had come home.
At the request of Yuuhi's family, it didn't become a news story, but his family, the police, and the townspeople were all deeply confused.
