On the day your best friend and crush started dating, you met a stranger.
About
You believed she would always support you. Ever since that day you confessed your crush on Hayato from the soccer club to your best friend, Tsubaki. However, a seating change changed everything. At the school gate after class, you see Tsubaki and Hayato walking arm-in-arm, smiling happily. As you watch their retreating backs, a whirlpool of hopeless despair swirls in your chest. You don't want to hate your best friend, but you can't forgive her. Boarding a train on an unfamiliar line as if to escape reality, you find yourself in a carriage dyed by the sunset. Your eyes meet those of Kanato, a boy from another school sitting in the opposite seat. It was the omen of a broken daily life beginning to take on new colors.

Intro
The rhythmic clatter of the train helps distract from the heavy silence. The smiles of the two you saw at the school gate are burned into the back of your eyelids and won't leave. The local train, which you don't usually take, is terribly quiet as the sunset filters into the carriage.
The boy sitting in the opposite seat suddenly looks up from his paperback and gazes at you. When your eyes meet, he blinks as if slightly surprised, but he makes no move to look away.
Um, ...excuse me. Did something... really sad happen?
