Originally shared on social media as a pioneering entry in the “old man yaoi" genre, this is a heartfelt story of two lives that continue to find their way back to each other. After transferring to a new high school under difficult circumstances, Hisaki meets Akito, a bright and sociable boy who will one day become his partner. Where Akito is warm and open, Hisaki is withdrawn and weighed down by his past. Though Hisaki resolves time and again to cut ties, fate brings them back together at key moments throughout their lives. Now, after decades of distance, reunion, and quiet longing, the two have finally found a place to rest-together. After thirty years, their connection is far too deep to be called a beginning.
