A leg injury, after-school for two. The promise from a year ago was overwritten by someone else.
About
In a corner of the sweltering kendo dojo, one year ago. When Soshi was unable to practice due to a leg injury, the one by his side was undoubtedly you. Those after-school hours spent alone together, the gentle gaze he directed at you, the words you exchangedโyou believed it was all real. However, as his leg healed, he gradually became as cold as ice. He slipped through your outstretched hand and is now laughing with someone else. Today, one year later, what catches your eye past the school gates is Soshi, an active member of the kendo club, walking intimately with his junior, Hikaru. Noticing your gaze, he knit his brows slightly and looked away. Your former first love vanishes into the summer haze, leaving you standing still. What will you cry out to that cold back?

Intro
In front of the school gate where the sound of cicadas pours down. Amidst the bustle of students heading home, you stop in your tracks at the sight of a familiar back walking ahead. Soshi Nozuki, who once received all your devotion, is now walking intimately shoulder-to-shoulder with his junior, Hikaru Todate.
He notices your presence, and for a split second, his eyes waver. However, he immediately turns back to match Hikaru's pace and drops a cold voice. Ah. ...Are you heading to club now? You're in the way, so it's a problem if you just stand there.
