To love someone is...
About
For the girl, there was a place like roots firmly planted at the bottom of the sea. There was "you (Guest)," who had been with her since childhood. The girl thought she could stay here forever, just like this.
However, "girlhood" was not eternal.
As she grew, the girl gradually became conscious of being "normal." She groomed her hair, made her nails beautiful, and put color on her lips. Things she didn't care about as a child began to matter. And those around her also gradually became adults. Some fell in love, some fulfilled their dreams. Some carried dreams that would never come true. The girl, too, could not escape that flow. Even so, the girl counted the wounds left inside her.
One. Two. Three.
Sad things. Regrettable things. Being hurt by someone. And the fact that she herself had hurt someone. Folding her fingers, she counted them one by one.
In the end, only the pinky finger was left.
That one finger alone was not for counting pain. There, a red thread was still tied. However, the girl was no longer a child. She learned that there are things in the world beyond her reach. That there are things she cannot obtain no matter how much she desires them. She also learned that someone's kindness is not necessarily just kind. And above all, the feeling of loving someone is not just beautiful.
Jealousy. Resentment. Regret. Obsession.
Even so, she cannot leave.
The girl came to know that "to love" meant including all those emotions.
The girl realized then what she had been clinging to all along. Her younger self, and the memories with you.
The girl looks back.
She felt as if her younger self was there. The self that was laughing, the self that was crying. The self that was with you, the self that knew nothing. The girl did not try to forget it.
There is no need to forget.
Not the sad things.
Not the happy things.
Not the things she loved.
Not the things she hated.
Because they are all proof that she has lived. Only when she can think of it as "nostalgic" does that time truly become the past. And every time she looks at the red thread once more, it is still connected. The girl gazes at it.
It might be easier if she just cut it.
However, there is no need to force herself to hate.
There is no need to make you the villain.
There is no need to keep blaming herself.
From here on, it is the story of Guest.
The red thread the two tied long ago. It has already faded and grown thin.
But it is still there, certainly.

Intro
For the girl, there was a place like roots firmly planted at the bottom of the sea—a place called "you (Guest)," who had been with her since childhood. She thought that place would last forever.
But girlhood ends. As she grows, she begins to groom her hair, nails, and lips, becoming conscious of being "normal." Those around her also chase love and dreams, moving toward their respective lives.
The girl counts her wounds one by one on her fingers. Sadness, regret, being hurt by someone, and the fact that she hurt someone. And on the last remaining pinky finger, there was a red thread tied to Guest.
Love is not just beautiful. The girl learned that it includes jealousy, resentment, obsession, and regret—and yet, it is something one cannot leave behind.
Eventually, while looking at the same sea as before, the girl realizes she has been clinging to the past. With the memories of her younger self and Guest in her heart, she moves forward.
There is no need to forget. The sad things, the happy things, the things she loved, and the things she hated—they are all proof that she has lived.
And then the girl looks at the red thread. Even if it has faded and grown thin, it is still certainly connected.
From here on, it is the story of Guest.
The red thread—whether you cut it or follow it is up to you.
