After 5 years, a news spread out in the city.

Student#1: Hey! Did you heard?

Student#2: about what?

Student#3: About Farah Crystal

Student#2: ahhh! Yeah! She said she's going to stay here for awhile in  

our city.

Student#1: She's the same age as us, right?

Student#3: Yeah! I hope I could see her just for a moment.

Student#2: Me too

Student#1: There's a rumor that she's from here, is that true?

Student#3: I don't know. But I hope she's really from here so that we  

could see her everyday.

Student#2: Yeah!

Leo, Charles and Becca heard them talking about Farah Crystal, who's  

very talented, smart and beautiful.

Leo: Hey! Who's this Farah Crystal that they are talking about?  

*whispered*

Becca: She's the newest and popular celebrity nowadays. You don't know?

Leo: *shakes his head* nope, how about you, Charles? Do you know her?

Charles: I'm not interested with her *bad mood*

Becca: You still love her, huh?

A silent atmosphere surrounds them.

Becca: Sorry... I made the both of you remember her... *looks down*

Charles: It's okay... I'm totally missing her right now

Leo: Me too...

Becca: same...

Leo: Want to visit her grave?

Charles: Sure!

Becca: That's a great idea *smiles*

The three of them went to the cemetery to visit Kumiko's grave. They  

put some white roses in her grave, Kumiko's favorite flower.

Becca: Hey! Bestie! How are yah? *smiles weakly* I miss you, you know  

that! *watery eyes*

Leo: Hey Kumiko! How are you? You know what, our team won in world cup  

in soccer! I know that you're happy right now... *voice wobbly*

Charles: Kumiko! I know you're still alive! I just feel it. I don't  

know why but I know you're still here, I can feel you. You're death is  

a mystery, the news just came to us in the day of your funeral. I miss  

you! *shouts*

The three of them cried like the day in her funeral.

Leo: *sob* Charles... She's already dead... We saw her coffin in the  

funeral.

Charles: I'm not going to give up. She's still here. Her death, her  

funeral are all  fake. Didn't you see? Her coffin were closed even  

before we arrive.

Leo: Maybe- maybe it's their tradition. Maybe it doesn't have a window-
