Lyric

"Pocket no Chiisana Hako (A Small Box in My Pocket)" is the 21st song in the "Advent Story" series, told from the boy's point of view. Under the warm lights of station-side food stalls, he buys a gift for her and wraps it in a small box, keeping the reason unspoken. Until the day he can hand it to her, he keeps touching the box in his pocket, as if to confirm that his unsaid feelings are real.
Even if her answer still feels far away, he trusts her pace. He calls waiting "a quietness that helps us get closer," not rushing his words, yet never denying what he feels. Pushed forward by the memory of the bells from that night, he carries his heartbeat and his warmth toward the promised place, saving "I love you" for the moment he can say it while looking into her eyes.
