Utau and I moved over to the couch as we continued to talk more and more about everything that had happened. I explained to her how I've been losing sleep, dreaming about the night Ikuto left and how things have been truly affecting me. As I spoke to her about all of this, I had been looking at my hands, while my voice kind of trembling. "I'd like for him to come back someday. I don't want to rush him to come back." I sighed out softly. "Amu, what about Tadase? I thought you and the kid were together?" Utau asked in confusion, causing me to chuckle softly. "Oh, no. After Ikuto left. I explained to Tadase my true feelings and that I only see him as a friend and nothing more." I said looking up at her while she nods her head.

"When he contacts me again, I'll let him know that you're missing him, that he needs to stop being stupid and come back home, to us. To you." Her words honestly shocked me. She didn't need to do that. I owe her enough already, she's done so much for me that I don't know how else to thank her. I leaned over and hugged her again. "Thank you, Utau" I muttered softly to her. She hugged me back, humming softly, obviously smiling 

Soon after the hug, Utau had to leave, she said she needed to go and see Kukai, whom she was also surprising. I waved and smiled at her as she left.

Turning away once she was out of eyes sight, I walked up to my room after I locked the door, then made my way over to the balcony door, and leaned against the ledge, watching as the sun began to set. 

Utau's visit had been the highlight of my day. I haven't really felt this happy in a long, long time. I had crossed my arms, resting my chin on my arms and I looked out at the sky, watching the moon start to rise while the sun had set, a small smile upon my face. I had closed my eyes for a few seconds while listening to the sound of the city. 

A small chime came from my cellphone, indicating that I had a text message. I entered my room once again, it being from Utau telling me to meet her at the park the next day. "What time?" I responded to her, smiling. 

"What is it?" Miki asked, hovering over my shoulder while the others were doing their own nighttime routine before bed. "Utau wants to meet at the park tomorrow." I explained to her with a smile. "Does this mean we're going?" She asked excitedly. I giggled and nodded. "Yeah, just need the time" And with that, I got the response of 'Noon.' from her. I hummed softly and began to get ready for bed. I wasn't hungry so I didn't make dinner and I knew that my parents were gonna get something to eat for themselves on their way home.

I soon crawled into bed and slept through the night, peacefully. For once.
