Chapter 12 “Akira, it’s almost time to go,” I mutter, getting up from the bed with a groggy yawn. The light shining from the balcony is still a bright white. In a few hours though, it will turn orange. “We need to change.” “Few more minutes…” Akira mumbles back, her voice soft and relaxed as she cl...

Chapter 18: Restart “Can you move faster, Hisao?” Rin asked from behind me as we walked up the stairs, which would usually cause me to turn my head towards her, but the large stack of boxes I’m carrying was currently making that option ill-advised. “I’m moving as fast as I can,” I responded with a ...

Chapter 11 Despite having had a hell of a night and wanting nothing more than to be a lazy sleeper, years of having to get up for work force my head out of dreamland and into the real world far too early. The world that used to be full of nothing but veiled insults and condescending attitudes, all ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I tended to Rin as she slept, uncertain of how much time had passed as I simply let her rest on my lap, doing nothing oth...

Chapter 17: Return “Is everything alright back there?” a voice called out from somewhere, and I opened my eyes to see that I was still in the car. Turning to my side, I saw that Rin was looking intently out the window, which had been what she was doing since we got in. Turning back to the source of...

As the bus drops us off near my apartment building, I pull out my phone to check the time. It’s only 10, not nearly as late as I thought. I wonder if we could have walked around a little more before deciding to return, before remembering Akira’s complaints about her legs. The moment we enter the bui...

Chapter 10 Leaning on the wall outside my apartment, I patiently wait for Akira to come out. The suit she just bought for me still feels a little awkward, though I’m starting to get used to wearing it. With nothing to do, I take out my phone and decide to while away the time by looking at some of m...

Chapter 16: Period “Hey, Hisao,” Emi asked, pointing to a question in the science text. The book wasn’t exactly beginner friendly, but it was rather easy for me to grasp the concepts and use them to solve the questions provided. “What do I do here? I mean, this thing...is...uh...what is it again?” ...

Chapter 9 I’ve never been one to think about overseas prospects, nor the idea of flying to another country. Perhaps for some it would be an exciting experience, but I’m not one of those people, preferring to be rooted in a familiar land with people who speak the same language as me. The idea of wai...

Chapter 15: Rebound The sound of a school bell had always been a familiar noise, no matter how long I’ve gone without hearing it. Once that bell rang, it felt as if I’d just heard it yesterday, instead of a few months prior. Mutou stepped into the class, signalling the official end of our winter br...

Interlude 2 - Foes and Family “Here’s another document for you to go over, Satou. Make sure it’s done by the end of the day.” The moment the person who told me that leaves the office, I let out a sigh in anger. At some point in my working career, I started to believe that ‘another document’ was jus...

Once I’ve finished, I set my medications down on the table and pulled out the photo of us and our friends during the festival.. I sat down and stared at it. Rin had a copy of it as well, and I wondered if she’d ever so much as thought of it. Looking at all of our faces, it reminded me of happier tim...

Chapter 14: Leap Another day had almost gone by, with only a scant few hours left. As I lay on my bed, looking up at the empty ceiling, that was the only thought that I could muster. Another day, and I’d gotten no closer to reconciling with Rin.The rift between us seemed as large as ever. I thought...

Interlude 1 - Next To You, A World Away Like most days, my morning starts with something forcing me to wake. Recently however, the sound that’s pulling me away from the clutches of slumber is not the beeping of an alarm clock, but the ringing of my phone. And unlike before, I react to that noise no...

Chapter 8 Sleep doesn’t come easily to me that night, but it does come eventually. If anything, it’s a blessing that I could rest at all, despite the fact that it would mean the arrival of that dreadful tomorrow. Unfortunately, after a period of blissful unconsciousness I find myself awake thanks t...
