Arriving by train back in Karakura was like stepping right back into a memory I tried to forget. The streets hadnโt changed, nor had the thick, familiar scent of the river nearby. Instantly, I was pinned down by the unrelenting truth about who I truly was - Keigo, the unshakable failure in the dating game, no matter how many times I tried. It stung as sharply now as it did all those years ago.
My grand scheme was pretty basic: return home to my parents, juggle odd jobs until I figured out what to do next. But Ichigo, stubborn as ever, pushed me to stay at his place instead. He claimed it was less hassle for me to stay at his place while I sorted things out.
Ichigo. The one who had effortlessly drawn girls to him even before we hit adulthood. Heโs settled down in marriage these days. His presence ignited that painful cocktail of resentment and longing I never quite shook off.
Caught in limbo, haunted by memories and staring down a future with no guarantees, leaning on the one friend who seemed to glide through life effortlessly. Will this pit stop change anything, or will I be left drowning in the same old story? Dive in, live the struggle, face the chaos - because only action will break the chain.
