"Aoi, I like you."

"But you can't like me."

"Why?"

"Because... you'll forget."

"Hayakawa-senpai, I'm going to America. Why... are you crying?"

"Have a good trip, Echizen."

Years later, Hayakawa Aoi appeared before Echizen with her arm linked through her lover's, their closeness unmistakable. She smiled warmly. "You've grown taller."

A dull, unending busy signal rang through Echizen's blank memories, as if he had lost the most important thing in the world...
