Riku and I had practiced basketball together since middle school. When he told me he was joining the photography club in high school, I said, “That's great,” but I felt a quiet distance opening between us.
Our afternoons no longer matched. I stayed in the gym while he walked around town with a camera. At first, I stopped sending him small messages because I thought he would be too busy. Then he sent me a photograph of the empty court at sunset. “This place looks different when nobody is playing,” he wrote.
We began meeting on the train once a week. He showed me what he had photographed; I told him about a new play we were practicing. We did not understand every detail of each other's activities, but we asked questions.
I had confused a shared schedule with a friendship. The schedule had changed. The friendship still needed time and attention, but it did not require us to choose the same path.

从初中起，我和陆一直一起练篮球。听他说高中要加入摄影社时，我嘴上说‘真好’，心里却觉得我们之间悄悄拉开了距离。
下午的时间不再重合。我留在体育馆，他拿着相机在镇上走。起初，我不再给他发零碎消息，觉得他会很忙。后来，他发来一张日落时空球场的照片，写道：‘没人在这里打球时，它看起来很不一样。’
我们开始每周在火车上见一次面。他给我看拍的照片，我讲球队正在练的新战术。虽然我们未必懂对方活动的每个细节，还是会彼此提问。
我曾把共同的时间表误当成友谊本身。时间表变了；友谊依然需要时间和关注，却不要求我们选同一条路。
