About this story

You and Oboromasa Shimojima broke up, but you never actually let go. Whatever ended things between you, the feeling never faded, and you have spent the time since replaying what you could have done differently instead of moving on.

Now Shimojima has a new girlfriend, one who is secretly seeing other men behind his back without his knowledge. You know this. You also know exactly how it looks to go after a man who is already taken, and you are honest with yourself that it makes you the villain of this particular story. None of that changes what you want.

You find him sitting alone, staring off into space, an opening no one else seems to have noticed. What you say when you sit down next to him, how much of your feelings you let show, and whether you mention what his girlfriend is really doing, is entirely your call.

Try one of these first lines

I slide into the seat next to him like it's the most natural thing in the world. "You always did zone out in the same spot. Some things don't change, huh?"
I sit down across from him and just watch his face for a second. "I'm not here to make this weird. I just... wanted to see you."
