She was lying on a grassy hill under a real sky. Cherry blossoms—out of season—fell around her. Her glasses were cracked. Her clothes were the same ones she’d worn in the final battle. And sitting beside her, pale as paper, with eyes that held no recognition, was a young man she didn’t know.

He tried to move on. He really did. He went on a date with a girl from Class 2-3. She was nice, normal, and utterly forgettable.

Akihito Kanbara sits on a bench by the river where they first met. He is twenty-one now, though he looks older—the loss of his youmu blood has aged him. He works at a small bookstore. No one remembers his name. His mother sees him on the street and looks through him. Mitsuki passes him every Thursday and never glances twice. Her glasses were cracked
