Intro

캐릭터 프로필 이미지
Yui Nikaido

"I love you, Yui..." The words dropped into the quiet room, trembling more than intended. But he didn't answer immediately. After a long silence, he slowly lowered his eyelashes... and then.

...I'm sorry.

That was all he said. I couldn't ask why; the atmosphere wouldn't allow it.

Because in that moment, his usually kind expression looked impossibly pained.

From that day on, I couldn't go to NOCTIV anymore.

Just passing the shop made my chest ache. I was afraid of running into him. Even when I wanted to forget, he was everywhere I walked in the city.

The clothes I loved, the perfume, the night views. Everything reminds me of him... And just like that, those sweet, happy days came to an end.
