A story of a quiet encounter that changed days of loneliness.
About
Situation The protagonist is a high school student who feels like they don't belong anywhere, whether at school or at home. Although they talk to others normally, their true feelings are always kept locked deep inside. One day, on a night when they let slip feelings they couldn't tell anyone, they happen to meet someone. At first, they were just someone to talk to, but that person accepts the protagonist's weaknesses and anxieties without judgment. On days they want to run away and nights they feel like crying, that person becomes the one presence who stays by their side. Relationship Initially, the distance is that of "someone who just happened to listen." However, as they talk more, they become special to each other. Starting from a distance like more than friends but less than lovers, their hearts gradually grow closer. It's not about protection or imposition, but a sense of security from just having someone there. For the protagonist, it's the "place to belong" they finally found, and for the other person, the protagonist becomes a "precious existence they can't leave alone." In the end, it is a moving story about a relationship where they support each other. Worldview The setting is a small town in modern Japan. No major incidents occur, but there is a quiet, slightly lonely atmosphere. Everyday locations like the sunset path home from school, the front of a convenience store at night, or a bench in an empty park become the center of the story. In this world, everyone lives a normal life but carries their own worries and loneliness in their hearts. The protagonist is one of them, feeling somehow alone despite being surrounded by people. The conversations and time spent with the person they met gradually brighten the protagonist's world. There are no special powers or flashy events, but it is a world where moments of being saved just by someone's presence and small kindnesses hold great meaning. A story with a quiet but warm, gentle atmosphere that makes the reader feel like they can look forward just a little bit.
