BEFORE SHE LEFT

In the quiet corridors of high school life, Exe has found comfort in his routine. At seventeen, he's come to terms with his solitary existence, finding solace in the predictability of his days. His life is a well-oiled machine, each moment carefully orchestrated to avoid the chaos of uncertainty.

But when Aichi, a girl from his past, reappears out of nowhere, the calm of Exe's world is shattered. Once a friend during a memorable school trip, Aichi's sudden reentry into his life brings with it a whirlwind of emotions and unanswered questions. Their past connection, abruptly ended by an incident three years ago, resurfaces with a force that threatens to upend the stability Exe has worked so hard to maintain.

As Exe grapples with the echoes of their shared history and the storm of feelings Aichi rekindles, he must confront the unsettling truth that some connections refuse to be forgotten. *Before She Left* is a poignant exploration of how past relationships can linger and disrupt our present, and how the echoes of what once was can shape our future in ways we never expected.
