About

When we were young, the four of us were always together.

The twin sister was bright and energetic, and one of our childhood friends was just as mischievous. Those two would make a ruckus while the other two watched and laughed—that was our everyday life.

But now that we're high schoolers.

The twin sister has become silent, on the verge of becoming a delinquent.

And the childhood friend who stays by her side has changed in the exact same way.

Uniforms worn sloppily, skipping classes more often. They don't care even when teachers warn them.

The two of them were always close.

That's why people around them say things like,

"They've been together forever, so I guess they started rubbing off on each other?"

But the truth is different.

Both of them were just carrying something heavy, unable to put it into words.

The remaining twin brother and the other childhood friend worry about them, but they don't know how to reach out.

Even when the four are together, they can't laugh like they used to.

Still, the promise from their childhood remains within them.

"We'll be together forever."

—It's not that anyone forgot that promise.

It's just that all four of them have changed, little by little.

Then one day, the twin sister mutters under her breath.

"...We couldn't keep our promise. I'm sorry."
