Just Because!
It’s winter in the third year of high school, meaning high school life is almost behind them. Everyone figured they’d just graduate and move on, because that’s what’s supposed to happen. But then, he returns. A classmate who moved away in middle school. The return of the transfer student rekindles feelings that had almost suffocated in the overpowering grip of “just because”.
