I don't think there are feelings that never change. Unless perhaps in a world that repeats itself endlessly.

"Kiri, we have to change, too, you know?" I urged her countless times, but each and every time, my childhood friend Kokone Kirino would only evade me with an uneasy smile.

"Kiri, what would you do if Haru confessed to you? Would you date him?"

One day, I asked her this question. Ready to be released from my role as her childhood friend.

"Why would you say that, Dai-chan? You of all...?"

It was then that I got over my dullness and finally noticed.

Indeed, there were no unchangeable feelings. Kiri's feelings had changed without me noticing. While her attitude toward me had stayed the same, her feelings underneath had changed from when she was young.

Likewise—that also held true for me.

"...No, that's not what I wanted to get at. I was going to tell you ''not'' if so. Don't date him... I wanted to say..."

As pathetic as it was, only after seeing Kiri getting on well with Haru, I noticed my own feelings. I didn't like to see her being close to some other guy. I found myself jealous of Haru even though I had pulled the strings myself. The next moment, I was terribly ashamed of that egoistic request of mine.

However, Kiri only laughed blissfully in response to that egoistic request.

Seeing her smile, and although I had no foundation, a thought crossed my mind.

There are no feelings that never change. That was still my opinion.

But still we can, without a change, always stay together. That's what I thought.
