Outside the station, Sakuta and Mai had to wait an eternity for a walk light to cross Route 134. On the other side was a twenty-step staircase down to the Shichirigahama beach.

Keeping Enoshima at their backs, they walked in the direction of Kamakura.

The sand pulled at their feet, making it hard to walk.

“Did you know that, despite its name, Shichirigahama isn’t even close to being seven ri long?”

“One ri is about two and a half miles, but this beach isn’t even two.”

This was a far cry from the usual exaggeration.

“How dull,” Mai said. Maybe she’d wanted to be the one to tell him.

“Kujuukuri Beach in Chiba also isn’t ninety-nine ri.”

“You know a lot of useless facts,” she remarked, looking very bored.

“You raised the subject!”

“So what was she like?”

“Hmm?” He pretended not to follow.

“The crazy lady who believed your nonsense.”

“You’re jealous?”

“What’s her name?”

“You are jealous.”

“Just spit it out!”

Teasing her further was clearly just going to make her mad.

“Her name was Shouko Makinohara,” Sakuta said, listening to the sound of the surf. “She’s five foot three. Smaller than you across the board. I dunno how much she weighs.”

“If you did, I’d want to know why.”

“She heard me out, listening carefully, but never changed the way she acted or seemed to take pity on me.”

“Hmm.”

Mai had asked, but now she didn’t seem to care.

“Only other distinguishing feature was her Minegahara High uniform.”

“……”

Only then did she look at him.

“Did you enroll here to chase after her?”

“With everything that happened with Kaede, staying where we were was too hard—that was the deciding factor. We talked about going someplace even farther, but info spreads online no matter where you go, so we figured distance wouldn’t really matter. But, well…the reason I picked this school was basically what you said.”

He might as well admit it. After everything else he’d divulged, there was no point hiding it.

“But she rejected you,” Mai said, seemingly enjoying his misfortune.

“The outcome’s the same, but…I never actually asked her out.”

“Even though you chose her school?”

There was an accusatory look in her eyes, as if she were saying, “What was the point of coming to Minegahara High, then?”

“She wasn’t here.”

He picked a rock off the beach and threw it at the ocean. He felt like this was the same spot where he’d gotten rid of his phone.

“She graduated?”

“I was in third year of junior high when we met. She said she was in second year of high school, so I doubt that’s it.”

“Then she transferred?”

“That would have been preferable.”

“Then it was something else?”

“I went around to all the third-year classes, asking all the students.”

“And?”

Sakuta shook his head.

“Nobody’d ever heard of a student named Shouko Makinohara.”

“……”

Mai appeared unsure how to take that.

“I checked the class lists for the entire school, wondered if she’d been held back a year…even went through the last three yearbooks.”

But he’d found no sign of her.

There were no records of any Shouko Makinohara ever attending Minegahara High.

“I don’t know what it means, either. All I know is that I met someone named Shouko Makinohara, and she was there for me when I needed her.
