Meeting up at Tokyo Station happened after finishing work. We decided to keep it a secret from everyone. Taking the last bullet train, we first headed to Mishima in Shizuoka, then checked into a random hotel. The next day, we moved on to Kyoto. Though we didn't have a specific goal, traveling westward deepened our bond. This journey away from daily life wasn't just about moving from place to place—it became a time to grow emotionally closer. Feeling the scenery and atmosphere of each destination, our feelings for each other grew stronger. The quiet night at the station, the end of a relay race, and the beginning of a new journey—awaiting us was a heartfelt encounter.
