Summary
Gakushuu Asano doesn’t live to be sixteen years old.
Three minutes to the start of the new year, his phone buzzes with sweet-sixteens sent too early. He steps over the edge of the twentieth storey of a nondescript office building, and he starts awake on his bed just as the clock strikes midnight, bringing in the new year and Gakushuu Asano’s fifteenth birthday.

spoiler-y excerpt
He doesn’t notice it at first but the world is gentler with him, the way you’d handle a phone with too many cracks on the screen. He knows he doesn’t hide it but he doesn’t think he’d be this obvious but it’s like someone has sanded the sharp edges of a table to round them. Gakushuu wonders where his drive from this time had gone, he didn’t think he’d jump back to the way he had been one year prior but it was frustrating to stay in the same headspace, to be bothered by issues that hadn’t occurred yet.
gives away the ending even more excerpt
Gakushuu Asano didn’t live to be sixteen years old, but that had been the other Asano. That had been him and still was him but he hadn’t made it this far. Gakushuu, strangely, feels like he has his life back.
