Cherry Blossom Incident Book

Prologue: The Promise between Sakura and Book Pages The wind of late spring passed through the glass windows of the Municipal Library, carrying light pink cherry blossoms and falling on the worn wooden bookshelves. The sunlight is cut into fine pieces of gold foil and rubbed into the yellowed pages of "Asuka Collection". The half-dried cherry blossom sandwiched on the edge of the page is the secret hidden by time. This is the most secluded corner on the third floor of the library, and the girl's position by the window is considered her "exclusive territory" by default. Ever since her grandmother passed away suddenly in her freshman year of high school and her parents had been away from home all year round due to debt problems, this corner has become her haven from the turmoil of the world. The book "The Birds" that she has read countless times, and the line in the book "The world kissed me with pain and asked me to respond with songs" were the only pieces of driftwood that she could hold on to in countless moments of collapse. More importantly, this corner is also a place where the boy often comes.
