Between Goodbye and Forever

Sakamoto Aoi hasn’t cried since she was six years old, ever since a certain tragedy changed her life. Now in her second year of high school, she spends her days with her friends, between classes, school festivals, beach trips, and conversations that seem simple, yet carry feelings none of them can fully explain. As time passes and their final year of high school slowly approaches, the days begin to feel shorter, goodbyes start to feel closer, and the past — once distant — begins to return in the form of memories and secrets that were never truly forgotten. Between laughter, silence, change, and inevitable farewells, Aoi, Hina, and Mio will learn that growing up also means understanding that not everything can stay forever. A story about friendship, time, memories, and goodbye. This story is already completed.New chapters will be released regularly until the full story is published online.
