Kyou wa Kanojo ga Inai kara

At school, a quiet secret defines my everyday life: I am deeply in love with another girl, and we are dating. Because of who we are, revealing our relationship to anyone is completely out of the question. We navigate the hallways as though nothing exists between us, forced to hide the most important part of ourselves from the rest of the world. Even so, my affection for her constantly threatens to slip through the cracks, lingering just beneath the surface where others might notice if they looked too closely. This hidden existence is far from the ideal way to experience young love. Yet, because my feelings for her run so deep, I willingly endure the silence and the distance it demands. I tell myself that simply being hers is enough to justify the secrecy. However, the constant isolation of pretending we are nothing more than classmates takes a heavy toll. The loneliness born from this suppressed romance has begun to quietly nurture darker thoughts within my mind, casting an unsettling shadow over the devotion I once believed could conquer anything.
