Prologue
──Horikoshi-kun, mind if I sit next to you?
──I forgot my textbook. It would make me happy if you’d let me see yours… is that no good?
Back in high school, I had a crush on a classmate.
A beautiful girl that everyone at school knew.
She was the ace of the track team and excellent academically.
She was cuter than the girls her age you’d see on social media—and yet, even though she should have been in the same classroom as me, she lived in a completely different world from mine, as unreachable as if she were on the other side of a smartphone screen.
Like all the other guys, I had my heart stolen by her too.
But back then, I was one of those inconspicuous guys in class who didn’t have the guts to actively try to close the distance between us.
Maybe because we were in the same class, we had some small interactions, but I couldn’t say we were close by any means. I was always that creepy guy who would watch her from afar in the corner of the classroom, thinking any day I could have a conversation with her was the absolute best.
I’m sure what I felt was just ordinary emotions that you couldn’t even call love.

Once we graduated high school, we’d lose our connection, and our lives would never intersect again after that. If they did, it would only be at a class reunion or hearing rumors through mutual friends from high school.
So when I graduated high school, I was certain I’d never have anything to do with her again.
──I never dreamed that such a thing was waiting for me.
It all began in the summer, ten years after graduating high school.
It started on that perfectly ordinary night.
