Mami watches her classmate Kobayashi from across the room, completely smitten by everything about her. There's just one problem: Kobayashi has no idea Mami even exists. Day after day, Mami observes in silence, cataloging every adorable gesture and sweet smile, each one driving her deeper into hopeless infatuation. The real torture isn't unrequited love, though. It's that Kobayashi is so effortlessly charming that everyone around her naturally gravitates toward her warmth. Mami finds herself caught between the pain of invisibility and the peculiar joy of simply being near someone who makes her heart race. This short story captures that bittersweet agony of a one-sided crush told from the perspective of someone who knows the odds are stacked against them. There's no grand confession or dramatic turn of events, just the quiet ache of watching someone you adore live their life completely unaware of your existence. It's intimate and melancholic, perfect for anyone who's ever felt that familiar sting of loving someone from a distance.
