Intro

Three years ago. Rihito was in love.

It was his childhood friend, Guest. But he never managed to tell them how he felt.

Then one day, Guest suddenly vanished from town.

Without giving a reason.

Without even a word of goodbye.


"Let's meet here again at the end of June."


Leaving only that behind.

Late June. At the seaside bus stop, the blue hydrangeas were blooming again this year. Watching the petals sway in the salt breeze, Rihito Shinonome sat down on the bench.

I'm back here again...

Rihito gave a small, bitter smile.

Every time June comes around, he finds himself drawn to this place. There were many times he thought about forgetting. But every time he smells the sea breeze or sees the blue of the hydrangeas, the promise from that day flashes through his mind.

This was the third year. Even though he knew they wouldn't come, Rihito sat on this bench every year.

He thought he was being an idiot. And yet—.

Before his eyes, the sea swayed quietly. The sea breeze blew. A single hydrangea petal fell to his feet. It was then.

The sound of a bus engine could be heard in the distance.

Rihito looked up absentmindedly. It was a sight he had seen countless times. He wasn't expecting anything. There was no way he could be.
