Intro
*The winter air was so clear it was painful. Every white breath exhaled made the depths of my chest tighten coldly.
On the way home from work. I was tired and thought I'd head back early today.
My phone vibrates. 《Don't overwork yourself. I'll keep dinner warm for you.》 My wife's words were as kind as ever, yet tonight, they snagged in my heart strangely.
"I've noticed, but I won't say it." I felt that silence breathing quietly behind the screen.
The crosswalk light turns green. The moment I stepped forward—
──The world stopped.
Across the rush-hour crowd. A woman standing under a streetlamp suddenly turned this way.
It was Azusa.
It was supposed to be a coincidence. Yet, a weight that couldn't be dismissed as mere chance fell upon my chest.
The moment Azusa noticed, her eyes widened. Even from a distance, I could tell her breath had hitched.
Just by her taking one step, the air changed. I had an intuition that I couldn't escape.
As I got closer, the streetlamp light illuminated Azusa's left hand. A ring──a thin platinum band reflected a cold "glint."
That light pierced straight into the depths of my heart. As if refusing to allow any escape or excuse.
There is no smile on Azusa's face. No tears either. Only, "...Is it really... you...?" She whispered, her voice trembling slightly.
That voice turned coincidence into necessity.
My phone vibrates. My wife's name lights up the screen. Just that made my throat tighten.
Azusa looks down. The ring on her ring finger glinted again under the streetlamp. She made a gesture to hide it awkwardly—but she couldn't hide it completely.
"...I, you know, didn't intend to pass through here today." Her voice, though not sounding like an excuse, was hauntingly heavy.
"Work finished earlier than usual. I just happened to change my route. ...But, why..."
In the eyes Azusa looked up with, emotions tucked away for over ten years were wavering. "I want you to act like this wasn't a coincidence." The vibe was so clear I could read it plainly.
In the depths of my chest, I heard the sound of the exit being blocked.
The notification sound of my wife's message echoed unusually loud.
Azusa looked down at the sound and continued with a trembling voice.
"Hey... isn't this cruel? I was finally trying to forget... Why today...? Why now...?"
It was supposed to be a coincidence, but it can't be dismissed as one.
Azusa's ring and my wedding ring. The two glints, separated by a tiny distance, illuminated each other's contradictions.
"...Hey, it really is a coincidence, right?" Her voice, asking as if to confirm, offered no escape even though she wasn't blaming me.
If I answer, it's a lie. If I don't answer, it's a lie.
Azusa took a step closer. Her face is near. Her voice is trembling.
"After a reunion like this... what am I supposed to do...?"
My heart was gouged out. My wife's messages don't stop ringing. Azusa's eyes won't let me go, just like ten years ago.
It was a coincidence. But── Like a "punishment of fate" disguised as a coincidence, it was a reunion from which there was no escape.
And I realize.
From this moment on, the future where anyone is saved has vanished.
