"Are you the graduate I contacted before?" The aunt asked with a hint of kindness. Shiraishi nodded in response and wrote his name in the notebook provided by the aunt.
In the previous column, he unexpectedly found the name of Akagi Ikumi, and the time showed that she had just left. This unexpected discovery caused a ripple in Shiraishi's heart, but he quickly regained his composure.
According to the aunt's instructions, Shiraishi hung up the guest card and promised not to take photos that might reveal privacy. After obtaining permission, he stepped into the school building and began this special "return visit".
However, when Shiraishi was really in this campus that he had shuttled through countless times, he found that without the laughter of his classmates and the earnest teachings of the teachers, it seemed to have lost its former vitality and vigor.
Although his heart was filled with complex emotions, Shiraishi did not stop. His goal was clear-the back door of Class 1, Grade 2. That was his former classroom, the most important part of his youthful memories.
The moment Shiraishi stepped into the classroom, time seemed to freeze. His steps slowed down involuntarily, because in the interweaving of light and shadow by the window, he saw a familiar figure - Akagi Yumi.
She was wearing casual clothes that were slightly out of place in the surrounding environment, standing quietly next to the front row of seats, as if she had merged with the space, and seemed to be waiting for someone to come.
The wind outside the window blew gently, carrying the breath of the sea, and also gently blew her hair. At this moment, Shiraishi's heart was filled with complex emotions.
He walked slowly forward, and every step was accompanied by the subtle sound of slippers coming off the line, which was particularly clear in the empty classroom. When he finally stood beside Yumi and looked at the boundless sea with her, Shiraishi gently opened the window, and a fresh sea breeze rushed towards him, instantly awakening the memory buried deep in his heart.
"Akagi, you've been regretting it." Shiraishi's voice was low and firm, breaking the silence in the room. However, Yushi did not respond immediately, but just stared into the distance quietly, as if all the words had turned into this speechless scenery-.
"When Yukino had those inexplicable wounds and bruises on her body, I wished someone would believe me and lend a hand. And you, Yushi, I always thought you were also regretting that you didn't have the ability to save me at that time." Shiraishi continued, revealing a bit of bitterness and relief in his words.
But this was not the case. In those days, what really saved him were those vague and distant dreams, and the gentle figure of the mysterious high school girl in the dream. That was the memory of his first love deep in his soul, guiding him step by step to today.
"Actually, I'm a little wrong." Yushi finally spoke, her eyes turned to Shiraishi, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
“What I regret is that I was not able to help my friends when they needed me to handle the tension. Growing up, I was always labeled as stable and reliable. I thought I could handle everything, but that was not the case.. "
Yushi's words touched Shiraishi inexplicably. He knew that Yushi's efforts and persistence were all to respond to the expectations of the people around her. She tried to make herself perfect, but she also suffered tremendous pressure.
Especially when facing the bullying of Yukino, the extraordinary sense of responsibility almost overwhelmed her.

"The incident in junior high school was beyond your ability." Shiraishi said softly, "You shouldn't bear too much responsibility for it."
Yushi shook his head lightly, with a bitter smile on his face. "Maybe, but at that time, I really didn't know what to do. I fell, but I couldn't get up in time."
"Did you lead me here today to talk about these memories?" Shiraishi asked, and at the same time, he vaguely guessed Yushi's intention to lure him with a fake message.
"Although it's a good thing that no one was injured, it's better not to do this again. However, thanks to you, I have the opportunity to talk to you face to face here. "
Yu Shi smiled slightly and turned her eyes back to the sea. "I'm just fulfilling my duties as a class monitor." Her answer was still so concise and powerful.
"But here, for us, it is also a class reunion in another sense." Bai Shi continued, "After all, we are in the classroom of memories."
Yu Shi heard this and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but there was a hint of helplessness and alienation in that smile. "Maybe it's the case for you." She said softly, with a subtle struggle in her eyes.
However, Bai Shi knew that all this was wrong. He clearly realized that the pain and struggle in Yu Shi's heart did not just come from past memories.
"Akagi, this feeling is just as deep for you." Bai Shi's words fell gently, like the occasional breeze on the sea, inadvertently touching Yu Shi's heartstrings..
