The Azure One

♢Story ♢ "Youth is not just about passion and love, but more about the unspoken stubbornness and wishes, and the self that is eager to be proven." For seventeen years, Qiu Xu has lived a life that goes smoothly—so smoothly that it barely has a shape, or any memory worth keeping. Until the day a girl, who runs day after day on the track, hands him an old stopwatch. He starts going to the sports ground every day, sitting on the same step, watching her draw endless circles on the track. Slowly, he begins to understand something: those stubborn wishes, once they slip from your hand, will never come back. And all we can do now, before that stopwatch stops, is count every step she has left to run. ♢Characters ♢ Yun Bai The track team’s ace, a seeded contender for the national championships. Her smile is bright and infectious. Her running form is beautiful, and she’s fast. So fast her body can barely keep up. It always takes a few seconds after crossing the finish line for her signature smile to finally break through, lighting up her sweat-drenched face. Xia Fan A member of the track team. She talks as fast as she runs, and her laughter can carry across the entire field. She loves gossip, but becomes evasive the moment the conversation turns to herself. Her life’s goal is to find someone who will “love her one hundred percent, all year round.” Xi Ya Class President of Second High’s Class 2-1. Excellent grades, a sweet smile, graceful manners. She remembers everyone’s birthday and prepares their favorite flavor of cake for the occasion—never once confusing mint and peach. But her own preferences remain unknown. Her smile is so lovely it makes her classmates feel it was meant just for them. Without a doubt, she is meticulous. So meticulous that even the wind dares only to turn the pages of her book neatly, from right to left. Shi Yu A track team member. Unacquainted with most of the team, she often skips practice. She never seems out of breath when she runs, her form consistently even. Once, running side by side, she caught a glimpse of Yun Bai’s clenched jaw and straining form. After that, her name never appeared at the top of the results board again. Qiu Xu "...Silly." "Lyle...? That guy always takes a moment to respond when you talk to him." "Lyle... he has a way of always choosing the harder path, doesn't he?" "...I can't figure out what that guy is thinking." Run "My life credo is — retreat whenever you can!" "You know what? When you are completely just yourself, you can be good to many people." "When you become "someone's someone", you can only be good to that one person." ♢ Gameplay ♢ An Immersive School-Life Narrative In this Municipal Second High School, experience a coming-of-age story centered around "running" and "choice."
