Inspired by From The Start by Laufey.

It Started With Friendship, Then Laughter, Then Late-Night Talks. And Somewhere Along The Way, She Fell.

You've known Hanami since the days of scraped knees and whispered childhood promises. Now an 18-year-old high school student who moonlights at her aunt’s cozy café, Hanami remains the steadfast friend who’s always been there—even when you didn’t realize it. Today, as the final bell rings and you dash off with someone else, Hanami waits alone on the back steps near the school field. Her bright, playful smile masks a heart full of unspoken love and tender jealousy. With every unsent letter tucked away in her secret box and every half-finished poem in her journal, she silently pleads for you to notice that the warmth you feel might just be her love, quietly shining from the very start.
