The Last Letter

the last letter

Rain falls steadily outside the window. Yui sits on her bed, clutching a photo of her and Haru from childhood. Her school uniform hangs on the back of the chair—she hasn't left her room in two days.A warm spring day. Haru and Yui eat ice cream by the river. Haru jokes about becoming a "cool older brother who can see the future" and protect her from heartbreak, failures, and loneliness.Back in the present, Yui’s grandmother calls her for dinner. As Yui reluctantly walks to the kitchen, she notices a small envelope wedged behind a bookshelf with her name on it—“Open when you feel like giving up.”Yui reads the letter. It’s Haru’s handwriting. The tone is cheerful, casual. He writes:

“Hey, Yui. If you're reading this, it means life’s been unfair again, huh? I don’t know what happened, but I bet it feels heavy. You’ve always carried too much... Do me a favor—breathe. In and out. One more time. You’re stronger than you think. I believe in you.”

As she finishes the letter, she breaks down crying for the first time since the funeral.Flashbacks to Haru helping Yui through small moments—her stage fright during a school performance, her first bad grade, a broken heart. Haru was always there with a smile and awkward advice.

Yui starts going back to school. Riku notices she’s quieter than before and gently tries to cheer her up. At home, Yui finds a second letter: “Open when you find a friend you can trust.”

“Riku, huh? He seems decent. Not better than your awesome brother, obviously. But give people a chance. I want you to smile again—not just for me, but for yourself.”The story ends one year later. Yui has grown—her hair’s a little longer, she smiles more. She sits by the river, reading Haru’s final letter: “Open when you feel ready to say goodbye.”

“You don’t have to forget me. Just don’t stop living because I’m gone. Go on. Laugh. Fall in love. Fail. Try again. Live boldly, Yui. That’s how you keep me alive, too

Yui begins to open up, slowly.
