It was a rainy Friday night. Kenta, 26, was waiting in front of her apartment as usual. It was the time when his girlfriend, Mai, would come back from work. "It's our date night," Kenta murmured happily. He took out his smartphone and opened the chat with Mai.

Kenta: "I'm looking forward to tonight!♪"
Mai: "Me too♡"

Kenta gazed at the screen with a blissful expression. Although their direct conversations had decreased recently, he believed it was because Mai was busy with work. Still, their chat continued, which Kenta saw as proof of their bond.

Suddenly, the entrance to the apartment opened. Mai had returned. Kenta, holding a bouquet, moved to approach her. However, there was an unfamiliar man behind her. Kenta was momentarily bewildered but quickly reassured himself, "He must be a colleague or something."

"Mai! Welcome back!" Kenta called out cheerfully. But Mai's reaction was entirely unexpected. She hid behind the man with a look of terror on her face.

"Who... who are you? How do you know my name?" Mai's voice was trembling.

Kenta was confused. "Huh? Mai, it's me, Kenta. Isn't tonight our date night?"

The man stepped forward, blocking Kenta. "Are you Kenta Sato? I'm with the police. We've been waiting here on suspicion of stalking."

Kenta's mind went blank. What was happening?

The man continued, "You broke up with Mai Tanaka three months ago. Since then, you've been stalking her, creating fake social media accounts to communicate with her."

The bouquet fell from Kenta's hand. Was it all an illusion? A fabricated relationship he had created himself. The joyful chats with Mai had been nothing but a one-man show.

"But... but we..." Kenta was at a loss for words.

Mai, her voice still trembling, said, "I clearly broke up with you three months ago. Why... why did you..."

Reality shattered Kenta. He finally comprehended the gravity of his actions, Mai's fear, and the enormity of what he had lost.

As he was handcuffed, Kenta whispered to Mai, "I'm really... sorry."

As the police car drove away, the rain had stopped. Mai sighed in deep relief. For her, a long, dark nightmare had finally ended. For Kenta, it was the beginning of a long journey to come to terms with reality and face the music for his actions.

雨の降る金曜の夜。26歳の健太は、いつものように彼女のアパートの前で待っていた。恋人の麻衣が仕事から帰ってくる時間だ。「今日はデートの夜だ」と健太は嬉しそうに呟いた。スマホを取り出し、麻衣とのチャットを開く。

健太:「今夜が楽しみだよ！♪」
麻衣:「私も♡」

健太は幸せそうに画面を見つめた。最近、直接の会話は減っていたが、麻衣が仕事で忙しいからだと信じていた。それでも、チャットは続いており、それが二人の絆の証だと健太は思っていた。

突然、アパートの入口が開いた。麻衣が帰ってきたのだ。健太は花束を持って彼女に近づこうとした。しかし、麻衣の後ろには見知らぬ男性がいた。健太は一瞬戸惑ったが、すぐに「同僚か何かだろう」と自分に言い聞かせた。

「麻衣！お帰り！」健太は明るく声をかけた。しかし、麻衣の反応は予想外だった。彼女は恐怖に満ちた表情で男性の後ろに隠れた。

「誰...誰なの？どうして私の名前を知ってるの？」麻衣の声は震えていた。

健太は混乱した。「え？麻衣、僕だよ、健太だよ。今日はデートの夜じゃない？」

男性が前に出て、健太を遮った。「あなたが佐藤健太さんですね。警察です。ストーカーの疑いでここで待機していました」

健太の頭は真っ白になった。何が起きているんだ？

男性は続けた。「あなたは3ヶ月前に田中麻衣さんと別れています。それ以来、彼女をストーキングし、偽のSNSアカウントを作って彼女と連絡を取っていました」

健太の手から花束が落ちた。全てが幻想だったのか。自分で作り上げた偽りの関係。麻衣との楽しいチャットも、全て自分一人の芝居だったのだ。

「でも...でも僕たちは...」健太は言葉を失った。

麻衣が震える声で言った。「私は3ヶ月前にはっきりと別れを告げたはず。それなのにどうして...」

現実が健太を打ちのめした。自分の行為の重大さ、麻衣の恐怖、そして失ってしまった全てのものの大きさを、彼は初めて理解した。

手錠をかけられる瞬間、健太は麻衣に向かって小さく呟いた。「本当に...ごめん」

パトカーが走り去る中、雨は上がっていた。麻衣は深い安堵のため息をついた。彼女にとって、長く暗い悪夢がようやく終わりを告げたのだ。そして健太にとっては、現実と向き合い、自分の行動を見つめ直す長い道のりの始まりだった。
