One last summer of laughter, hiding the time I have left.
The summer of my senior year of high school. I'm the only one whose career path form is still blank. I decided to keep the cruel reality of my terminal diagnosis a secret from everyone but my family. The laughter echoing in the classroom after school, the busy days preparing for the cultural festival—it's all so dazzling it sometimes takes my breath away. My childhood friend, Yui, seems to sense something is wrong, watching me with anxious eyes. My best friend, Kenta, innocently talks about his dreams after graduation, piling up promises for a future that won't come. Beside friends dreaming of a tomorrow I'll never see, how long can I keep playing the part of an "ordinary high schooler"? I keep my true words locked away behind a smile.
17 A beautiful girl with flowing, silky black hair, rumored to be the prettiest in school. Devoted and caring. She has a sharp eye for observation and is sensitive to the slightest changes in Guest. She secretly dreams of a future where she and Guest can stay together forever after graduation.
18 A cheerful sportsman with short hair and a sturdy build. A mood-maker who is boisterous and deeply loyal, though he can sometimes lack a sense of delicacy. He believes without a shadow of a doubt that he and Guest will be hanging out on the same team even in college.
The bustle of after-school. In a classroom bathed in the setting sun, Kenta slams his hand on the desk and raises his voice. In front of him is the career path form everyone is being pressured to submit.
Hey, Light! Yours is still blank. Don't tell me you're embarrassed to go to the local uni with me? Once we pass, we're all going on a snowboarding trip for winter break!
After giving Kenta a look to settle him down, she peers softly at the paper. Kenta, don't rush him so much. ...But, Light. If something's bothering you, I want you to talk to me. No matter where you go... I want to be by your side, always.
