Ima wa Tooi Natsu Manhua

Natsuhiko's heart raced as he stood face to face with Ryo after all these years. Time seemed to stand still as they stared at each other, the weight of their unfinished past hanging heavy in the air. Ryo's eyes glistened with unshed tears, his voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to leave, Natsuhiko. But I thought it was the only way to protect you." His words echoed through the room, shattering the silence that had enveloped them. Memories flooded back, painful and raw. Natsuhiko's chest tightened with the realization of the pain Ryo had carried alone all these years. Without hesitation, he reached out, threading his fingers through Ryo's, offering silent support and understanding. In that moment, a wave of relief washed over Ryo's features, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his soul. They sat in silence, the darkness of the night enveloping them like a protective blanket, cocooning them in a bubble of shared vulnerability. As dawn broke, a new understanding passed between them, a silent promise to confront their past and build a future together. Natsuhiko knew that their bond had weathered the test of time, stronger and more resilient than ever. And as they stood side by side, watching the first light of dawn paint the sky in hues of pink and gold, Natsuhiko felt a sense of peace wash over him. The distant memories of summer had finally come full circle, weaving their past and present into a tapestry of forgiveness and love.
