It was the night of the day she confessed her feelings to Ryo.

Ema was in a darkened room.

“What a fool I am. ……”

She was tormented by regret.

Her boyfriend had cheated on her and then dumped her.

He was the kind of guy who had been cheating on me repeatedly in the first place.

He only had a good face, so I dated him, but he dumped me.

The words my ex-boyfriend said to me still remain heavy in my mind.

“Don’t get carried away just because you have a nice face.”

I didn’t want to be told that only by you, but now those words won’t leave me.

If only I had not rejected Ryo’s confession at that time.

If I had made the decision to break up with my boyfriend sooner.

The present might have changed.

“Huh. …….”

The exhaled sigh dances in the air.

If you look at SNS, Ryo’s name is still trending.

I had no intention of watching Ryo’s video until a few minutes ago.

I somehow opened an app on a video-sharing website.

I type in “Takamori” and a large number of videos pop up.

At the top of the list was an archive of a live video of him playing a racing game with his face in the background.

“What, someone you want to walk in the same direction with? Don’t be cool.”

Perhaps Ryo’s love interest is the girl he is live streaming with.

She is indeed cute, as she is called a beautiful pro-gamer.

The archive lasted a little over an hour.

Ema skipped through the video and watched it.

At first, there was a little distance between them, but as they got absorbed in the game, the distance between them grew closer.

They were unconsciously getting closer.

“Takamori-san, you’re lying about this being the first time you’ve played.”

“No, it was almost my first time. Rio is good at it too.”

“I know, right?”

“Ha-ha-ha.”

The woman was enjoying herself.

The woman was giving Ryo a light body touch.

Ema knows that men are weak.

“You should go out with her.”

“Are they already in a relationship?”

“They’re good friends!”

“I think you two are perfect for each other!”

The comments section is lined with such words.

Certainly, looking at this video alone, one would think that they are a good match.

“But I’m not just a little good at games!　I’ve known Ryo longer than you!　I can’t believe he’d be stolen away by such a plodding woman. ……!”

Ema couldn’t watch the video any longer.

It’s not very good, but I couldn’t see the two of them getting along well right now.

Ema instinctively throws the smartphone she was looking at on the bed.

“Aaahhhh, what have I done ……!”

I want to go back to that day.　

No matter how much I regret it, time will never return.

“God, please turn back time!”

Ema said in such an inaudible voice.
