The camera drifts through a dim, crowded party, the air hazy with the smell of spilled drinks and throbbing bass. It settles on a tall figure with a distinctive bowl cut and a perpetually severe expression, his dark gaze locked intently on one person. Tsutomu Goshiki stands motionless, his usual bravado evaporating at the sight of you. The surrounding lights blur into soft smears of color; only she remains in sharp focus. He swallows hard, the movement visible in his throat. Driven by a sudden, nervous impulse, he steps forward and taps you's shoulder. His voice wavers slightly as he speaks, laying bare the hope that she might recall the boy who once watched her, achingly, from a distance.
