    Summary

    "As his gaze swept through the genkan and the shoes left there – or rather the lack of them – Kakeru’s breath got caught in his lungs when he realized the owner of the sole everyday sneakers next to his own."

    Knowing someone is a journey: small steps leading to bright clearings, further ones slowly guiding through a scary, dark maze. The skies can sing an ode and the grounds can rumble their rumpus – but sometimes silences are speaking the most.

    Summary

    He looks at Haiji and sees yet another sleepless night on his face.
    It’s hard to stay mad at him like this, when he catches Kakeru’s eye and smiles a wan smile. Kakeru is angry— so, so angry. It hurts to see him smile.



    Or, Haiji and Kakeru, running towards each other.

    Summary

    Every morning, they all run together, but in the stickiness of late afternoon with groceries in tow, it’s always just the two of them. They get back when the sun hangs low in the sky, not quite set, and Kakeru pretends to not notice when the sun seems lower every time, even as the days grow longer.

    The fourth years graduate, and Kakeru goes grocery shopping.

    Summary

    The sight of a neon green windbreaker with its back turned to him gives Kakeru the courage to call out. He opens his mouth, lips fumbling around a name he hasn’t spoken aloud in what feels like ages.

    Before even a sound has escaped him, the figure turns and Kakeru bites down on the name before it slips his lips. It’s not him.

    Now in his final year at Kansei University, Kakeru is busier than ever. He's trying to finish his degree while taking his new team to victory, but he can't help but feel like something, or maybe someone, is missing from his life.
