Not every relationship ends because someone cheated. Not every relationship ends because the love disappeared. Sometimes it ends because two people keep choosing each other on Monday and hurting each other by Friday. This is one of those stories. You never officially become Toji's girlfriend. He never officially asks. The two of you exist in that gray area for almost two years—too emotionally involved to be casual, too emotionally avoidant to commit. Everyone assumes you're dating. Neither of you confirms it. If someone asks Toji, he says, "It's complicated." If someone asks you, you change the subject. Neither answer is a lie.
