姉の幼馴染と私は9年間の交際を続け、もうすぐ婚約する予定だった。 その日もいつも通り、彼が飲み会で飲酒した後、迎えに行くため店の前に足を運んだ。 声をかけようとしたその瞬間、不意に耳に入ったのは、彼の友人たちの悪ふざけ混じりの冷やかしだった。 「晃司、お前の初恋が帰ってきたんだろ？で、代用品はどうするんだ？捨てるのか、それとも二股かけるのか？」 藤原晃司の口元には、嘲るような笑みが浮かんでいた。 その場の空気をさらに悪化させるように、別の友人が大声で笑いながら続けた。 「晃司、本当羨ましいよな。初恋がいなくなって寂しかったからって、幼馴染の妹で暇つぶししてたんだろ？9年も付き合って、そろそろ飽きたって言ってたしな。それに、ちょうど初恋が帰国したタイミングだもんな！」 晃司は苛立ちを滲ませた声で応えた。 「だって、万田さゆりが『あんたの人生で愛するのは私だけ』なんてぬかしたんだぞ？だから安物の代用品で、あいつの自信を徹底的に叩き潰してやらなきゃ気が済まないだろ！」

大学院推薦入学が決まった後、自称インフルエンサーの従妹が、どうしてもお祝いに野外で写真撮影をしたいと言い出した。 指定された場所に着いた途端、飛び出してきた妊婦にいきなり平手打ちを食らわされた。 「この泥棒猫！夫を誘惑するなんて、許さない！」 説明する間もなく、妊婦はハサミを取り出し、私の唇を切り裂いた。 激痛が走り、血まみれの唇の肉片が地面に転がる。 私は痛みで身をよじり、痙攣した。そこに従妹が現れ、追い打ちをかけるように平手打ちを食らわされた。 「昔から男好きだったけど、まさか人の夫にまで手を出すなんて！最低！」 「このような人間が、どうして大学院に推薦入学できたの？不正でもしたんじゃないの？」 事件は瞬く間に拡散され、ネット炎上。私は大学を退学になり、顔に傷を負い、うつ病を発症した。 従妹は、私の不幸を利用して有名人になり、フォロワー数百万人を誇る人気インフルエンサーとなった。 そして、目を開けると、私はあの日――従妹が写真撮影をしようと企んだ、あの日に戻っていた。

When I tried to break off our engagement and leave town, Jake stood before me, his eyes red-rimmed and pleading. I couldn't understand a word he said. I simply wished him, “May you always have a day like today, year after year.”
