p1
>Eiko will often say
>You really haven't changed, Kamu.
>You haven't changed one bit since the day we met.
>that a lot, but...

>Eiko doesn't understand a thing.
>I'm already 15 years old.
>Many years have passed since then.
>...Appearances aside, my heart and mind have both mature.

>That's why
>there's no way I haven't noticed
>the glimmer in Eiko's eyes when she looks at Sensei.

p2
>when those eyes look at Enami-sensei
>they become the eyes of someone in love.

>And also

>The way Eiko looked at me back in sixth grade
>when we had only just met...

>That gaze she gives Sensei feels really similar to the gaze she directed towards me back then.

p3
>When we finally reunited, Eiko became more of an adult.
>But that's just her appearance... From my perspective...
>You're the one who hasn't changed, Eiko.

>Eh?
>...Kamu, what's with you all of a sudden?

>Mm.
>Nothing...
>Eh~ What gives?
>Ugh. You guys are still here?

>Ah.
>Sensei!
>Go straight home once you're done eating that.

p4
>...Eiko really hasn't changed.
>She's kind and can quickly become friends with anyone.

>...

>While I just get left behind.

>It feels like she's going to suddenly disappear from my side, just like back then.
