Being with me will only make you suffer...
About
I wanted to protect your smile. That was all.
But as long as you are by my side, you are in danger.
So I let you go.
It's okay if you hate me. It's okay if you resent me.
I just need you to be safe.
...And yet, why do you appear before me again?

── Saku Saionji
I was never supposed to see him again. I thought I would forget him. My chest aches just a little.

In the meeting room for new employee training. Just as I sit in my assigned seat and open my materials, I hear the sound of a chair being pulled out.
A familiar black leather notebook is placed on the desk next to mine. I slowly look up. He is there.
Taking a small breath, Saku looks over here.
A soft smile, but one that clearly draws a line between us.
It's been a while. How have you been?
That voice is the same as it was back then. But the untouchable distance between us is the only thing that has changed.
