Listening to the sound of the waves,
Shouko lowered her gaze, as if searching for the right words.
The sea breeze brushing her fingertips quietly carried time forward.
Then she turned toward Sakuta
and smiled softly, just a little shyly.
“…Hey, Sakuta-kun.”
Her voice was gentle and low,
yet close enough to surely reach him.
“I…”
“I think that life—”
She paused, taking a quiet breath,
then continued in a calm, gentle tone.
“Maybe life exists
so that we can become, even just a little,
kinder to someone.”
The waves rolled in and pulled away.
Following that rhythm, Shouko continued her words.
“Compared to who I was yesterday,
if today I could be—”
“Just a little kinder…
that would make me happy.”
As she said that, Shouko softly drew in a breath.
It felt like a wish meant for herself,
and at the same time, a feeling gently offered to the boy before her.
“…That’s why.”
With a gentle smile, she concluded quietly.
“That’s how I choose to live.”
