Once upon a time, in a small, idyllic village nestled deep within the heart of Japan, there lived a young man by the name of Arima Kou. He was, by all accounts, a kind and gentle soul; always quick with a smile and a warm greeting for those he encountered. His life was simple, yet fulfilling; he worked the fields with his father each day, tending to the rice paddies and cherished flowers that grew there. Despite his contentment, however, there was one thing that Arima Kou could not help but long for: the affections of a lovely girl named Hirai Masumi.
One day, as fate would have it, Arima Kou found himself in the midst of a passionate conversation with Hirai Masumi about their shared love for anime. They discussed their favorite shows, debated complex plot points, and laughed heartily at inside jokes. As the sun began to set, casting long shadows across the village, Arima Kou mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to Hirai Masumi. He poured out his heart, expressing his deepest desires and innermost fears.
To his surprise, Hirai Masumi listened intently, offering words of comfort and understanding. She admitted that she too had feelings for him, but explained that she was "In Love" with another man named Toyoda Takeshi. This revelation sent shockwaves through Arima Kou; he had never considered the possibility of Hirai Masumi being involved with someone else. The news hit him hard, and he struggled to process the information.
As the days went by, Arima Kou found himself consumed by thoughts of Hirai Masumi and Toyoda Takeshi. He watched them from afar, hoping to catch a glimpse of their relationship in action. One day, he saw them walking together, their hands entwined, and a deep sense of longing overwhelmed him. He knew that he couldn't simply stand by and watch them be happy together; he had to take action.
Arima Kou gathered up his courage and confronted Toyoda Takeshi. He expressed his feelings for Hirai Masumi and pleaded with him to reconsider his feelings for her. Toyoda Takeshi, however, remained steadfast in his love for Hirai Masumi. He told Arima Kou that he had known her for years and that their bond was too strong to be broken. Arima Kou was left feeling defeated and heartbroken.
As days turned into weeks, Arima Kou tried to move on from his feelings for Hirai Masumi. He immersed himself in his work, spending long hours in the rice paddies and flower fields. He found solace in the simplicity of his daily routine, but deep down he couldn't shake the pain of unrequited love.
One day, while tending to the flowers, Arima Kou noticed a change in Hirai Masumi's behavior. She seemed distant and preoccupied, as if carrying a heavy burden. Curiosity getting the better of him, Arima Kou decided to confront her.
As they sat beside the river, under the shade of a weeping willow tree, Arima Kou broached the subject. He asked her if something was wrong, if she was still thinking about Toyoda Takeshi.
