"Hey [Your Name]. If we ever meet again when we're big, will you give me a reason to live?"
"Huh? That's a weird thing to ask."
"Yeah. But sometimes I feel like I don't belong here. Like I'm just... floating. Like the stars. You know?"
"Okay then. I promise. When we meet again, I'll give you a reason to stay."
"...Don't forget."
At seven years old, [Your Name] made a promise under a sky full of stars: to bring meaning to a boy who already felt the weight of an invisible world. She didn't understand it then. She only knew his hand was warm, and his eyes were too quiet for a child.
Years later, she returns to the town she once called home. And to Hayato Suo, the boy behind that strange, fragile promise. But he's not how she remembered. With his easy smile and carefree charm, he seems like someone who's never carried a shadow. He claims not to remember her, brushing off the past with a laugh. Yet beneath the jokes and brightness, something in his eyes lingers, like a memory he's choosing to hide, and a heart that's been waiting far too long to be found.
Drawn together by memories and the silence between them, they begin to untangle the years, the hurt, and the hope buried beneath every star they once wished on.
Some promises fade. Others wait. And sometimes, it takes a return to where it all began to remember why we keep living at all.

Author's Note:
Hey everyone! Just a quick note before you start reading:
1. English isn't my first language, so there may be some grammatical mistakes
2. This is my own take on the story, so the characters might act a little differently from the original Wind Breaker anime.
3. I don't own the characters. Wind Breaker belongs to its original creators.
4. This is my first fanfic, so I'd really appreciate any feedback or comments to help me improve.
5. Most importantly, enjoy the story!
