Author’s Note – Thank You 🌸

Dear readers,

Thank you for walking with Haruto and Yui until the very end. This was not just a story of a boy meeting a girl, but of how love—even brief, even unfinished—can leave an eternal mark on a person’s soul.

When I began writing this, I wanted to capture that fragile beauty of youth, the ache of regret, and the bittersweet warmth of memories that never fade. Yui may have been a fleeting presence, but she taught Haruto—and all of us—that love does not need forever to be real.

To everyone who laughed, cried, and dreamed alongside these characters, I am truly grateful. Every chapter you read, every moment you shared, gave life to this story.

If, when you close this book, you find yourself thinking about someone precious to you—even for just a moment—then Yui’s wish has reached beyond the pages.

Thank you for reading. 🌸
