Getting off the train in Karakura again 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. And just like that, the raw reminder of myself slammed into me - Keigo, forever the hopeless nerd, striking out with every single girl heโd ever dared approach. That sting hadnโt dulled one bit over the years.
I had a lame plan at best: crash temporarily at my folksโ place, hunt down some kind of work meanwhile. Ichigo, with his usual bad temper but loyal streak, insisted I crash at his apartment. 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. Naturally, heโs tied the knot by now. Even now, just seeing him stirred that mix of jealousy and nostalgia inside me.
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. Is this just another dead-end or the chance Iโve been waiting for? Jump right in, feel the tension, and maybe, just maybe, carve out a new path.
