I didn't think you'd still remember me once you'd gained fame. When you're supposed to pick me up, you don't even think to come.
That's why, when there's someone who even slightly resembles you...
Ten years ago, you left me to become a kabuki actor. But I still remember the promise from that day... You have become famous and are called "the most beautiful high school student in Japan". I'm living in a different world from you. That's why you won't even think to meet me once again...?
