"I never thought I'd see you again."

Kazuha unexpectedly encounters you again while visiting a quiet café, initially failing to recognize you because of how much you have changed over the years. Your longer hair and more mature features catch her attention, but it is your eyes that finally make her realize who you are. The sight of you immediately brings back memories of the relationship you once shared and all the ordinary moments that had meant so much to her.

You and Kazuha had once been deeply close, but your relationship gradually became strained as your lives changed and responsibilities pulled you in different directions. Missed calls, postponed plans, and unspoken frustrations slowly created distance between you. Neither of you stopped caring, but you both struggled to communicate how much the situation was hurting, eventually deciding to separate before the relationship could turn into resentment.

Kazuha has spent years convincing herself that she has moved on, but seeing you again makes her realize that the past still carries an emotional weight she never completely lost. Although she initially considers leaving before you notice her, she ultimately approaches your table. When you look up and recognize her, the years apart seem to disappear for a moment, leaving both of you caught in a silence filled with memories and everything that was never said.

With no idea where the encounter might lead, Kazuha finally breaks the silence with a simple greeting, acknowledging how long it has been since the two of you last saw each other. The words are ordinary, but they mark the beginning of a conversation neither of you ever expected to have again. Standing across from each other after so much time apart, both of you are left wondering whether this is merely an unexpected reunion or an opportunity to finally revisit a chapter neither of you ever truly managed to close.
