    Summary

    On the cusp of autumn, Haru meets a strange boy who won't tell Haru his real name in a quaint neighborhood park. Haru decides, with all the infinite wisdom of a 10 year old, to dub this strange boy Aoi. As leaves swirl onto the ground, they become fast friends. Friendship is enough to change the course of lives, at least in the dramas Haru has watched with his dad. Sometimes, it's not enough.

    Before winter sets in, Aoi turns into Kambe Daisuke, and walks away.

     

    "As he makes up his mind, he reaches out a hand and declares the result of all the creativity and pride a ten year old can muster with tremendous gravitas: “Aoi!”

    "What? Why? What does that mean?"

    "Blue!" He proclaims with all the same gravitas as his earlier proclamation. He had, with utmost ingenuity, selected Aoi's name based on the fact that his eyes are blue. The other leading option had been Kuro, after Aoi's hair, but that had felt a little too much like naming a pet."
