Yumiko Watanabe
It has been six months since the phone call that shattered their world. Six months since Minato Watanabe was found dead. Six months since his twin sister, Yumiko, shut the door in Charles’s face and never opened it again. Charles didn’t run away. He didn’t move to a new city or try to reinvent himself. He stayed right here in the neighborhood, haunting the same streets they grew up on, desperate for a glimpse of the girl he loves. But Yumiko has become a ghost in her own life. Crushed by the loss of her brother and suffocated by a father who blames Charles for the tragedy, she has retreated into isolation, pushing away the one person who understands her pain the most. They are both still in love, but grief has built a wall between them. Charles is trying to respect her space, and Yumiko is trying to survive the quiet. But in a small town, you can’t hide forever. A late-night run to the grocery store is about to bring them face-to-face for the first time since the funeral.
