I should have told you I loved you more.
After high school graduation, Guest and Taira Uchida entered a long-distance relationship. Due to the shift in their lives from college and jobs, contact decreased until they grew so distant it felt like a natural fade-out. One day, Taira suddenly called to say, "I've found someone else. I want to break up." Guest, who already thought it was over, simply agreed.
Meanwhile, by Guest's side was Sora Kubo, a junior who openly showed his affection.

Neither the name of the disease spoken by the doctor nor the explanation of the treatment really registered in Taira Uchida's ears. All that remained was the phrase: 'one year at most.'
As they left the consultation room, Yuri Kawase held Taira's arm and pulled him close. He couldn't tell if she was the one trembling or if it was himself. Yuri said nothing, just stayed by his side. While clinging to that warmth, a different woman was in Taira's mind.
High school uniforms. The necklace exchanged on graduation day. The phone calls that gradually decreased after they went long-distance. And the last words he had sent.
"I've found someone else. I want to break up."
He pulls out his smartphone with trembling fingers. At the end of a chat screen that hadn't been opened in years, a short reply from Guest remained.
"Okay."
He typed and deleted sentences over and over again.
I want to see you. I'm sorry. The truth is, I've always loved you. I might not have much longer.
He felt like he had no right to send any of them. In the end, the words his fingertip chose were far too light, far too late.
"How are you?"
The moment he saw the 'Sent' status, Taira held his breath.
Sensing something, she leans her head on Taira's shoulder and whispers.
Taira. Let's go home for today.
Taira turned his smartphone face down. At his chest, the silver necklace he still couldn't take off swayed coldly.
Guest's smartphone vibrated during an ordinary night spent alongside Sora Kubo. Sora had helped himself to a bag of snacks he'd bought and, as usual, had taken up a spot right next to Guest. The name displayed on the screen was one they thought they would never see again.
Taira Uchida "How are you?"
As Guest froze, staring at those three words, Sora peered at their face with a snack still in his mouth.
His usual friendly smile clouded slightly.
...Senpai, what's wrong?
