Hikari is the light in my darkness

After losing his family one night, Ren disappeared from everyone—including his best friend, Kai. Months later, he returns as if nothing happened… but the past he ran from is still there. Hina isn’t convinced. Along with her friends, she starts noticing the cracks he’s trying to hide. The closer they get, the more they uncover—not just about his past, but about the choices he made. Friendships begin to fall apart. Trust slowly breaks. And the truth threatens to destroy what little remains. Because sometimes… running away isn’t the worst thing you can do. Sometimes, it’s what you did before you ran that matters.
