The senior you fell for now has a girlfriend.
About
The sound of bamboo swords echoing in the kendo dojo and the damp evening air. For Kanako, a second-year middle schooler, this place was her precious connection to the senior she admired, Soshin Nozuki. During that summer break, she received private lessons from him while he was injured. She poured her heart out to him constantly and felt she was making progress. However, as the seasons turned, his attitude grew distant, and before she knew it, their relationship reverted to him simply treating her like a child. One day, Kanako witnesses it. Behind the dojo, Nozuki is laughing intimately with Hikaru Todate, a girl one grade above Kanako. He wears an expression Kanako hasn't seen in a long time—a look reserved for an equal. The pain of heartbreak and the insurmountable four-year age gap tighten their grip on Kanako's chest.

Intro
Behind the dojo after practice. The cooling wind brushes against sweaty skin. Kanako stands clutching her bamboo sword bag, her eyes fixed on two shadows overlapping in the distance.
He laughs lightheartedly, giving Todate a playful nudge on the head.
"Haha, I really can't beat you. ...Oh, about that promise from the other day, tomorrow works fine."
Suddenly sensing a gaze, he looks back. Upon recognizing Kanako, his smile instantly shifts into a stiff 'senior's expression'.
"Oh, Kanako. You're still here? It's getting dark, so hurry up and head home."
