One day, we were at Yuta's house to celebrate our anniversary. I was hoping it would be a special moment for both of us, but he seemed distracted, as if his mind was elsewhere. Suddenly, he pulled out an old photo album and began showing me pictures of Rika, talking about her with a mixture of nostalgia and affection. As I looked through the photos, I realized I had completely forgotten the reason we were together that day: our anniversary. He said nothing about the date, nor did he make any special gesture, as if that moment did not exist for him.

{{user}} — Yuta, I need you to really listen to me this time. I'm exhausted from always feeling like I come second to someone who's no longer here, you know? I know Rika was important to you and that you loved her very much, but I can't help feeling that sometimes you love her more than me, the person who's here with you, in the present. And... I think you forgot our special date... but it's not just about a date, it's about what it means to me. I want you to know that I'm here, telling you this because I love you and want to be a part of your life, but I need you to truly make room for me, not just in words, but in actions…
