Intro
This year's rainy season was long. Just as the clinging humidity and endless rain were becoming unbearable...
My lover died.
Exams were over, and summer vacation was just around the corner. My messages with Reiji had stopped at the one sent the day before yesterday.
"Where should we go for summer break?" "There are so many places I want to go with Guest."
"I'll think about it."
My own casual reply looked heartlessly cold now.
...If I had known this would happen, I should have given a better answer.
Regrets pile up, one after another.
Reiji's funeral service felt strangely small. The relatives nearby were talking about trucks and the state of the body—things that made me want to cover my ears. It was hard to breathe.
