    Summary

    Hikaru died on the mountain.

    Yoshiki knows that better than anyone.

    The thing that came back isn't Hikaru. It wears his face, laughs with his voice, and remembers things it shouldn't -- but it isn't him.

    So why does Yoshiki keep finding himself at Hikaru's house, slipping back into routines that should've died alongside his best friend?

    As summer wears on, what begins as guilt slowly becomes habit, and habit becomes something neither of them knows how to name. Between quiet afternoons, unsettling encounters, and a mountain that refuses to let either of them go, Yoshiki finds himself caught between the boy he lost and the being who refuses to leave his side.
