If My Love Isn’t “normal,” Then What Is?

Ai and Chiharu were more than just classmates in their youth—they were inseparable, sharing a bond that slowly grew into something deeper than either of them could name at the time. They kept their feelings quiet, nurturing them in the spaces no one else could see. Years later, as adults, their connection remains strong, yet life pulls them in different directions when Chiharu’s move becomes inevitable. On the night before she leaves, they return to the classroom where everything began. Standing in the quiet room filled with old memories, they embrace and let their unspoken feelings surface at last. Holding each other tightly, they promise that distance will never erase what they’ve carried for so long—a love that began in secret and survived into the present.
