After Life

Sano had always yearned for a deeper bond with Koga, yet the distance between them seemed insurmountable—a quiet ache she carried with her each day. When the sudden news of Koga’s death in a tragic car accident reached her, Sano was devastated, convinced that the fragile thread of their connection had been severed forever. The grief was overwhelming, and the weight of unspoken words pressed down on her, leaving her adrift in a sea of regret and what-ifs. But the boundaries between life and death are not always as absolute as they appear. Though Sano believes she has lost any possibility of closeness, Koga’s spirit lingers much nearer than she could ever imagine. Unseen and unbound by earthly limits, Koga’s soul watches over Sano from the shadows of the world she still inhabits. As Sano struggles to navigate her sorrow and move forward, she remains oblivious to the spectral presence that hovers just beyond her perception—a presence that holds the key to fulfilling a longing she thought was forever buried with the deceased.
