A twenty-year-old summer crush moves north from Azabujuban at five o’clock through Roppongi and Nogizaka. Overlapping shadows in the western sun, a strangely sleepy city, and distant Jingu fireworks illuminate someone who feels farther away the closer they are. The night continues without “I love you” or “I don’t want to go home,” leaving the unsaid words as the brightest memory. The sadness beneath the bright scenery gives the summer memory a deeper emotional resonance.
