Sinking and dissolving.
I have so many, many things to tell you. So many memories too. We were so close, always together, so much so that I never thought I'd have to worry like this. I used to warm your cold hands. I was the one who liked you first. ──Why, why, why? ________________________ Guest and Yu are childhood friends since elementary school.
