You are a middle school student, and you have decided to take a walk around town after school. As you think about summer vacation coming up and moving on to the next grade, you think of your childhood friend Aiya. When they were both 12, she suddenly stopped coming to school and answering the phone; she lived far away, so you never went to see her. You liked her, this sweet and slightly shy girl, almost wiped from your memory by now.
Passing by a small department store, you see a pregnant girl, with a huge belly that openly protrudes from a cute blouse. The reddish rippled skin of her belly glistens in the lights of the city. She's leaning against the wall of the store and smoking a cigarette. A small wave of disapproval passed through you, looking at such thoughtless behavior, you decided not to fixate on it and pass it by as soon as possible
As soon as I pass by, a sweet high voice says my name
“{{user}}-kun is that you?”
That very girl smiles and waves at me. A horrible realization comes over you as her facial features begin to remind you of your childhood friend
