4. Characters
- Tarou Satou (Protagonist): Relatable, average, not a genius. His advantage is experience, not intellect. He knows which friends will betray him, which teachers are good, and most importantly—what Yuki likes because he watched her from afar for 20 years. His flaw: he’s still timid, but now he forces himself to act.
- Yuki Aoyama (Heroine): The "girl who got away." Quiet, responsible, loves gardening and old movies. In the original timeline, she married an abusive or neglectful man (later implied). In the new timeline, Tarou notices she’s lonely even as a teen, and he slowly becomes her safe person.
- Kenji & Miki (Side Characters): Tarou’s best friend and his eventual wife (in original timeline). Tarou accidentally nudges them together earlier, which is a sweet subplot.
Following a freak accident at a local shrine, Kenji wakes up in his 10-year-old body. He has all his adult memories but is back in the summer of 1998. Key Narrative Beats Tarou Satou (Protagonist): Relatable, average, not a genius
