Life Reversal Manga Volume 1 Release Commemorative SS②: "The Moment Tomorrow Becomes Special"
—Ai Ichijo’s Perspective—
I spend my time in my room, alone. Until just a moment ago, I was wrapped in the warmth of the Aono household, which only makes this crushing sense of solitude feel more real now. Being in this room forces me to realize, whether I like it or not, that I am truly all alone after all.
I start to wonder if the happy time we just shared was actually a dream.
Perhaps it was just a phantom vision created by my brain to escape these lonely hours—that I am, in fact, still bound to this room forever.
"Once I start thinking negatively, I just can't snap out of it."
I’ve finished my homework. It was supposed to be a distraction to help me forget the loneliness, but it only ended up amplifying the feeling. I wish tomorrow would hurry up and come. If it were tomorrow, I could walk to school with him.
I think I’ve fallen in love at a speed that surprises even me. I never imagined I’d ever be in a romantic relationship with a boy... Why is it that he was able to slip into my heart so easily? It’s strange.
Thinking I might read a book, I shift my gaze to the bookshelf. A cover featuring a boy and girl standing on a beach caught my eye. Come to think of it, I haven't read this one yet. Just as I reached for it, my smartphone vibrated.
The moment I saw his name, I snatched it up to check the message. And in that instant, tomorrow was transformed into a special day.
"A library date, huh."
