I really like the chasing/catching/leaving-behind theme you're playing with here. The details with Akari's shoes and the recurring use of toes and feet are very nice, too.
I hesitated at the kissing, because I've got my OTP, and still I found the ending appropriately heart-wrenching. It's hard to see Akari leave something she thought she wanted for so long, even though, good for her because she deserves more.
I like this a lot. The details are wonderful: from the trees to Akari's shoes, to Hikaru trying to catch up to Akari. I like how you made it seem like they both surpass the other in their own ways, and neither can really catch up to the other. It's a very compelling and sweet story. I like how sad and wistful it is, but how there's hope for both characters too. Lovely.
