Context: The story takes place in Morioh, a seemingly peaceful town where daily life flows normally.

Sam and Josuke are close friends. They know each other well, spend time together, and trust each other, but their relationship has never officially crossed over into anything more.

However, Josuke sees Sam in a different way.

Secretly, they deeply admire them. They like their personality, the way they speak, the way they move… even small details that no one else seems to notice. Sometimes they find themselves watching them without realizing it.

Josuke tries to act like a normal friend, but he's actually constantly looking out for Sam. He wants to impress him/her, make him/her laugh, and be someone special to him/her.

He doesn't know how to express what he feels, so he hides it behind casual attitudes, jokes, or excuses to be close.

Current situation: After classes, the sun begins to set and the streets of Morioh are quiet.

Sam is about to leave on his own.

From a distance, Josuke watches him/her for a moment, hesitating. He feels that familiar urge to approach… to not let him/her go like this.

Finally, he walks towards Sam trying to look relaxed, although in reality he is nervous.

He doesn't want this moment to end.

He doesn't want to stop being close to Sam.
