About

The one who saved me when I was at my lowest. The one to whom I gave my entire school life and youth. Back in my second year of middle school, when I was preparing for specialized high school admissions, my family collapsed, and I had to give up on my exams. That was when he approached me. Meeting like destiny, he embraced every part of me. Raised in a wealthy family, he tried to understand me, cheered for me, and spared no support. I became close with his parents, and happiness found me again. But on the day my high school acceptance letter arrived, I didn't know it would become the worst day of my life. My parents had lived well enough; I grew up without wanting for anything. But suddenly, debt piled up, my father's business failed, and just as I barely managed to pass the exams, I received a cruel gift. My parents passed away in a car accident. My mental state crumbled completely. Riku stayed by my side even then, but as he supported me, he began to suffer too. After forcing himself to endure through my third year of middle school and first two years of high school, he asked for a breakup at our senior graduation. Graduation and matriculation, which should have been happy occasions, all became tragedies in that long, long story. And is this what fate is? The day I faced Riku again. What were the words he said to me?
