Prologue
I started dating Hanazono Yuuka.
That fact alone is so sweet, so vivid, it still doesn’t feel real.
Having a girlfriend— This is the first time I’ve ever experienced anything like it.
Hanazono said she liked me.
And just like I did back then, I still have feelings for Hanazono Yuuka.
To connect hearts with someone else—I never knew it could be something this joyful.
Early in the morning, I opened the front door, and sunlight poured through a break in the cloudy sky.
It was an ordinary sight, something I normally wouldn’t even notice— but this time, for some reason, it filled me with a quiet, vague sense of emotion.
It was my first day going to school after I started dating Hanazono.
Maybe that’s why—the moment I stepped outside, the world looked different than usual.
──I see.

I just wanted someone to like me.
I wanted to feel like I was needed.
Being in a relationship—just being someone’s boyfriend—proves all of that, simply by existing.
That’s why I feel so light, so full of energy I could dance.
I kicked off the ground.
There was no way I could just walk.
If I didn’t release even a bit of this feeling surging inside me, there was no way I’d be able to focus in class.
I needed to get to school—
to see Hanazono—as soon as possible.
Letting my thoughts drift just a little into the future, I ran.
Suddenly, I felt like someone had called out to me from behind.
I turned around. No one was there.
Maybe it wasn’t just now—maybe it was something from a little while ago.
Scratching the back of my head, I turned forward again.
No point worrying about it now.
What matters is the future.
After all, the past—that’s something I can always look back on later.
