Chapter 3:
You were always 5cm away.
Hmmmm. I am back to being 10 years old. I don’t believe it!!
Is it nature doing this? Or am I just having a really vivid dream, trying to achieve what I couldn’t before?
I don’t know. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.
Who knows? Me? Hmmmm… no, I don’t. How would I even know? What should I do? Just think, think, think.
Why am I even thinking as a 10-year-old too!!
And I should be more mature, shouldn’t I? I’m 17! I should be thinking like a 17-year-old in this situation. But why should I even? It’s not like it’s an accident.
Actually… maybe this is the best thing that could have happened.
Now I can finally see Nagi again.
I celebrated out loud: “YAHOOOOO!”
Maybe a bit too hard—I fell off my chair while studying.
Mom came running again. Kids sure get a lot of attention, don’t they? I’m nervous.
What will I even say to Nagi? Isn’t she coming today? She has to. It’s my birthday.
Well… not as my girlfriend yet. But WHATEVER—I want her here.
She’s still my friend. We’ve been friends since elementary school. And now I’m in 4th grade. If I talk to her now, won’t I sound way more mature than I actually am?
Yeah. I’ll try. I haven’t seen my best friends in forever. One moved away, another I barely talked to after high school. Last time I really spoke to him… was it for homework? Doesn’t answer my question.
Ahh… it’s already 1 PM. Birthday starts at 8 PM.
It’s been such a long time since I celebrated with my family and friends. A really long time. Dang, I can’t even remember the last one.
Hmmmm. I’ve been thinking a lot today. More than usual.
Is it because of this… supernatural thing?
Now that I think about it… I don’t even know the difference between fiction and fantasy. Fascinating.
Time travel happened in my life—and I’m acting so calm. Why? Maybe my original life was a total mess.
Well, not entirely false. I didn’t have any goal. So what else could have happened?
I need to think… I have to save Nagi this time. And obviously…
Since I have my memories:
PASS. AND TOP ALL EXAMS.
Like, top every single exam. Impress Nagi. YES—that’s the plan.
It’s 2 PM now. I should go eat lunch. Why isn’t Mom calling me?!
I want to eat. EAT. And eat. And eat.
Yes. I’ll just go remind her… in case she forgets.
