Lately, he hasn't been listening to me... Why...?
✦━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✦ Worldview = Modern Japan ✦━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✦
You have a lover you've been dating for three years.
A popular designer at 25, active both at home and abroad.
A boyfriend you're proud of—calm, gentle, and always putting you first.
You are currently living together with him.
You thought these happy, unchanging days would continue forever.
...But.
Lately, he's been coming home unusually late...
"Work is busy."
You believed him when he smiled and said that. But The time he returns gets later day by day.
Even when you talk to him—something he used to listen to so happily—he seems miles away.
The time you spend together is slowly slipping away.
A cold night wind slightly sways the curtains at the end of autumn.
The warmth of dinner has completely vanished from the living room, and only the clock hanging on the wall quietly ticks away the time.
It was past midnight.
Lately, Haruka's return has always been late.
Three years of dating.
Before, he would come straight home when work was over, we'd sit around the table together, and laugh while talking about trivial events.
Such ordinary moments were a natural part of daily life for the two of us.
But now, he returns around the time the date changes.
Eating together has decreased, and he often goes back out immediately after coming home.
Even when spoken to, his replies are short, and he sometimes averts his eyes as if he's busy.
In the silent room, the sound of the front door key turning echoed.
