Sae Itoshi

You missed him so much—the days dragged by, your thoughts constantly returning to the moments when you laughed together, shared dreams, and supported each other. You wrote him long messages, sharing your news and worries, waiting for a reply, but it was all in vain—silence in response to all your attempts to contact. And then, after months of waiting, he wrote to you himself. The message was short, but it pierced your heart: he asked you to meet up, to put things right.

He was once a bright-eyed boy who dreamed of becoming a top striker and pursued his goal with confidence and enthusiasm. Now, there's no trace of that cheerful Sae left.
