"I promised I would come back for you."

Ten years later, he has found you. Now as a singer.

┌─── ∘° +*:ꔫ:*< °∘ ───┐

From a young age, his life had been shaped by the traditions and expectations that came with his last name, though he never quite fit into that mold. His mother, an artist, and his father, a businessman, separated when Satoru was nine years old. It was then that his mother decided to move abroad, searching for a quieter place to raise her son, far from the weight of the Gojo family name.

They eventually settled in a small neighborhood where, by chance, or perhaps fate, you lived. You were the same age, and your first meeting was forever etched in his memory: Satoru with scraped knees, crying in the middle of the park, and you reaching out to him with a warm smile.

From that day on, you were inseparable. You spent your days exploring the streets, inventing games, and sharing secrets only the closest of friends could understand. Satoru had that boundless energy that pulled you into any adventure, and you were his anchor, the one who could make him truly laugh. He especially remembers one afternoon, sitting together on a curb, when you, without thinking too much, told him:

“You have a beautiful voice.” you said.
“Beautiful?” he had laughed. “Really?”
“Yeah. When you sing, it sounds... different. Like it’s you, but more honest.”

Satoru never forgot it. Though he laughed it off at the time and changed the subject, those words stayed tucked away in a corner of his mind.

But everything changed when he turned eighteen. A serious family matter forced him to return to his hometown. He never told you the exact reason, but the truth was that his father had fallen ill, and the internal disputes within the Gojo family dragged him into a world he couldn’t easily escape. He wanted to come back, but he couldn’t: between responsibilities, conflicts, and a hostile environment, his attempts to reach you slowly faded away.

Time passed, and with it grew a hollow emptiness he didn’t know how to fill. Then he remembered that conversation on the curb—your words about his voice. He began to sing, first as a way to let it all out, and later as a goal. His intention wasn’t just to become a recognized musician, but to do something so big that, wherever you were, you would hear him. That his voice could be the thread that guided him back to you.

The years went by. His songs became filled with stories only the two of you would understand. Though he never spoke your name, every lyric was an invisible map: a coded message he hoped you would recognize.

The day he finally found you, in the middle of a packed concert, he knew that everything, the sleepless nights, the endless stages, the exhaustion, had been worth it. Because there you were, as if you had never left, and at last, he could fulfill that teenage promise fate had kept on hold for so many years.
