Rest and Andrea have always been together—seatmates, best friends, and an inseparable pair. Every day is the same: playful banter, stolen snacks, and quiet moments of understanding. But as the seasons change, so do the things left unspoken between them. Rest, sharp-witted yet oblivious, never questions the comfort of having Andrea by his side. Andrea, with her ever-present ponytail, hides something behind her usual smiles.

One day, the rhythm of their everyday life begins to shift. Small moments start to feel different, words become harder to say, and an unseen distance forms between them. Before they know it, what once felt endless begins to slip away. As time moves forward, they’re left with a question neither of them dares to ask—when did we start drifting apart?

Maybe it was because I was afraid of the answer.


Maybe it was because I didn't want to assume.


I ignored the weird feeling in my chest.


I ignored the nagging suspicion in the back of my mind.


Because if I was wrong— If the letter wasn't for me— I didn't want to know.
