The seasons changed. The cherry blossoms, they're once more in full bloom. Blowing, the wind tore away a smattering of pink and white petals, letting them fly away in the wind. So fleeting, so ephemeral, so early to die, saying those same words over and over again, I wondered if I regretted it.
Wearing this same uniform, I had exited the school building, but I could no longer go back. No matter how many times, no matter what world it was, I just wished that I could see your face again.
If I closed my eyes, then perhaps, I could see your face. If I closed my ears, then perhaps, I could hear your voice.
I wished that I stayed at your side on that day, that I could have. I wanted to apologize. Not to everyone, only to you, and more than anything, I just wanted to hold onto your hand, not to look into the water and see your reflection gone.
Perhaps we already died beforehand. One of us. I wondered when we changed.
I let myself fall into the river with a splash, floating along with the cherry blossom petals. I was sure that people stared at me strangely; I was strange. The water pooled upward, covering my body with coldness. I closed my eyes.
So I called out in a wish.
Please let me see you again.
Whoever exists out there that can grant my only wish.
Please let me meet Yuzuki again.
And then I thought, what a cruel god watching, as I opened my eyes to the classroom.
