Nidome no Natsu, Nidoto Aenai Kimi

This summer, I faced an impossible choice between love and loss. The words "I like you" carry more weight than I ever imagined. Moriyama Rin lives each day with a secret she keeps hidden from the world. As I grow closer to this quiet girl who lights up every room she enters, I find myself drawn to her gentle strength and the way she embraces every moment of her high school life. Our time together at the cultural festival—filled with music, laughter, and shared dreams—becomes a precious memory I'll never forget. But as our bond deepens, I'm forced to confront a devastating truth: some feelings might be too dangerous to express. When fate offers me an unexpected second chance, I find myself back at the beginning, standing by the riverside where we first met. The same Rin stands before me, her smile as radiant as ever, unaware of what lies ahead. This time, I must make an impossible choice: follow my heart and risk everything, or keep my feelings locked away forever. In a story about love, loss, and the courage to change destiny, one boy must decide what it truly means to protect someone you care about.
