"You could disappear right now, and nothing in my life would change."

You never expected to fall for someone like Murata Kazuko. He keeps his distance, never letting anyone too close. Cold, unreadable, and effortlessly unattainable, he turns down confessions without a second thought. Yet, for some reason, you can’t stop looking at him.

Maybe it’s the way he lingers in the library long after everyone else has left, lost in books no one else reads. Maybe it’s the rare moments when he stares out the window in class, his guarded expression slipping just enough to make you wonder what he’s thinking.

It’s a lie. You know it. But for now, you’re the one standing beside him. And even if it’s not real, you can’t help but wish it was.
