Summary
Yoshiki thinks about his first two years of high school. They had been, up until that point, the worst years of his life.
He doesn't know what it was about Shinozaki Ayumi, but he listened to her the day that he was ready to give up. Back then, he was scraping by on rent if he limited his meals to one or two a day, barely making the required attendance rates, putting just enough effort into his job that it wasn't worth the hassle of firing him. And he was determined to do it terribly, terribly alone.
He hadn't expected to walk in late to classroom 2-9 on his first day of 11th grade with Shinozaki's desk one up and to the right of his own. The vibrant, childlike personalities some of his classmates possessed were overwhelming, yet he found himself being roped into taking walks around the courtyard, eating lunch with others, hanging back in the classroom after school had finished for the day. Feeling young again.
These days, Yoshiki sits by the one window of his apartment, staring blankly at the cars passing by, and taking drags of cigarettes that he once made a good effort to cut back on. Knowing this will forever be the worst year of his life, and feeling terribly, terribly, alone.
