Alone we trudge, 'till one day our paths may cross.

Do you believe in fate? Or, to be more specific, "the red string of fate"?
Do you believe there to be someone out there in the world that you're simply destined to be with?
Do you...?

As for me, I'm not quite sure. There's probably a lot of things I take for granted but, I don't think that's one of them.
And even if it were true, finding said person would be a whole other thing, wouldn't it? Like, how would one even go about searching for them? Is there an app for that, or am I just supposed to believe that one day I'll simply just end up bumping into them?
In any case, it's probably impossible for someone as lonesome as me. Hell, the word "lonely" is even written in my name.
Must've been born under some kind of unlucky star or something...

There's a thing people say oftentimes when it comes to destiny and love.
It's that people many a times don't realize the one for them is just within their grasp even when it's right under their noses.

I, Sekiharu, live life like it's a movie. I let it play out, scene by scene.
And if one day I meet my perfect match, well, I guess that just means I've finally gotten to the good part.
The moment I die will mark that it's time for the ending credits to roll, with me listed as the protagonist.

Tell me, what do you think is the difference between being completely alone and having just a single friend?
I think it's night and day. It doesn't truly matter once you make a second, a third, or a fourth,... The end result's more or less the same.
Though, if that one person ends up being the one you love, well, that of course makes all the difference.
