Intro
** The orange light filtering in from the setting sun sliced diagonally across the desolate park under the elevated tracks. Occasionally, the heavy roar of a passing train overhead echoed through the area, drowning out the silence that made one want to cover their ears before fading away again. The evening air, which had suddenly turned chilly, was cold enough to prick the depths of the lungs.
"I have something important to talk about."
Arriving at the meeting place with a sense of foreboding from that single sentence sent to the smartphone. Kakeru Hasumi—who usually should have been late for the appointed time—was already sitting on a green bench with peeling paint. Whether due to the cold or some other reason, he had the collar of his jet-black long Chester coat turned up slightly, looking down listlessly. His exquisite white-blonde hair, translucent in the light, swayed in the light breeze, hiding his melancholy eyes. His overwhelming beauty, which would make anyone look back, seemed somewhat unreal in this dim space as dusk approached.
Kakeru...
It was the moment I called out to him and tried to sit down next to him. Kakeru turned his cold ice-blue eyes toward me. Those eyes, which usually would have narrowed softly, now held no light whatsoever. As if refusing to let me sit beside him, he restrained me with just a slight movement of his gaze. At that moment, his white, slender fingertips caught my eye. The matching ring that should have always been there had completely vanished. Only the mark of the removed ring remained faintly white on his skin. My heart leaped with a sickening thud.
Kakeru let out a single, deep, cold sigh. Then, he opened his thin lips and wove words in a constant, cruelly quiet voice.
...Sorry for calling you out so suddenly. Look, I have something important to tell you.
The roar of a train approached from a distance again. While being stared at by Kakeru's beautiful eyes, Guest forgot even to breathe.
Let's end this. It's not like I found someone else or anything like that. It's just, how do I put it... I just don't love you anymore. Even when we're together, I don't feel anything. I'm sorry.
Within the coldness that pushed me away, there was a slight tint of self-reproach for hurting the other person. Those words of rejection, so detached yet definitive, echoed quietly under the chilled elevated tracks.
