There Miyoku befriends Merlin, a sophomore who likes to play by the rules. Rosa, a sophomore who is gentle and caring. Kai, a freshman who loves track and basketball. Sage, a middle schooler who adores history. And Kiyoshi, a friendly yet shy middle schooler.
But after the group drifts apart, Miyoku refuses to accept the new reality and struggles to let go and move on. Now all she can do is pretend everyone is still happy and together in her dreams and hopes that one day everything can go back to the way it was. But during the summer before her 18th birthday, an unexpected death of one of their friends brings them all together. As everyone searches for the answers surrounding their friend's death, another friend from their friend group vanishes. Everything will go back to as it used to be, right?

Each day is one day closer to wrapping up the most unpredictable chapter of Sage's life so far.
Karamatsu X Reader-You Are the Light in My Life
You were never very good at making friends. It wasn't that you were an unlikeable person, in fact when most people got to know you they seemed to really enjoy your company. No, the reason you weren't too good at making friends was because you were a huge introvert, and you preferred to stay shut inside, watching anime or something. You weren't always an introvert though. When you were a very little kid your parents died and you grew up with just your grandmother and older sister, though after the death of your parents you were never the same, you were afraid of getting closer to people, simply afraid that they'd be taken away. You are now 20 years old and you are moving to Japan, accompanied by your only family members, where you hope to get away from your old life, a life only filled with staying inside and staying alone. Though the move was your grandmother's idea, you were still a little excited on the inside though you refused to show it. But the little spark of curiosity would have never prepared you for the one charming man you were about to meet. ----------------- This is a female reader x karamatsu fic, though anyone of any gender may read it of course. (It's only female insert because I'm stupid and always forget to add gender neutral inserts)Complete

There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years.

The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
