Yoriichi pov

"DAA!" My heart pounded as I woke up by sumire yelling for her dad downstairs. I was up panting and felt as if my heart was going to leap out of my body.

I rolled into bed, groaning, and covered my head with my pillow. I wasn't sure why I was groaning, but I did. I heard ruffling and timid footsteps downstairs, the sound of
Sumiyoshi-san' voice was murmured and low, but I deduced that they were about to go.

As I came to terms with the notion that they were leaving, a pair of footsteps began to climb and approach my door. At the lowest gap on my door, two shadows appeared. Because the shadows were quite vast, I assumed it was probably Sumiyoshi-san.

A gentle knock was laid out outside my door, "yoriichi-san, are you awake?" I sat up my bed by the voice.

My headache had subsided after I slept, and I believe my temperature had dropped. My throat, on the other hand, felt like a rose thorn bush set on fire.

"Y-yeah" my voiced cracked painfully to respond. Sumiyoshi-san entered my gloomy, empty room, which had few decorations due to the fact that they were all in my suitcase.

Sumiyoshi-san said, "Yoriichi-san, you should've taken your temperature by now," which I did.

"Your temperature has subsided a little; perhaps you could walk outdoors; we were about to go to the drugstore to get some medicine, and since because your throat must be hurting, I'd thought you'd come along as well"

I thought for a while and eventually agreed, it's time for me to get some fresh cold air to relax my mind for a bit. I changed into something more appropriate for the weather and put on a black mask to shield my sore throat.
And I did my customary high ponytail with my hair. My eyes were a little bit occluded since my bangs were becoming excessively longer.

Before I left I looked at myself at the mirror before leaving, I brushed the side of my bangs at the top part of my forehead just to see my birthmark.
I really have no problem with my mark, though I sometimes forget I have one.

I went down stairs to see them already ready to go.

"Ichii!" Sumire yelled, pointing at me trying to get her father's attention.

"Oh yoriichi-san! Your done, shall we leave then?" I nodded, grabbed the keys and went out.

We decided to walk because the drugstore was not far away and the weather was pleasant for 4 p.m. Sumire was sitting on my shoulder the entire time, amusing herself by toying with my hair.

Her cheerful laugh and giggles filled the air as we strolled.

"She likes you, doesn't she?" Sumiyoshi-san laughed at his daughter, and I couldn't help but agree. I smiled warmly at her laughs and giggles, as if it were my emotional comfort.

We eventually arrived at the pharmacy; there were only a few people present, but it was enough to put me at ease. While Sumiyoshi-san was conversing with the person behind the counter, there was silence.

I was staring at the transparent glass walls, peering at the people and cars going by my vision, when I noticed some folks walking their dog on a leash, which inspired me to think of something.

'they must be going to the park..' I thought in silence.

Park..

Park....

"Park" I randomly blurted out, and I think I caught Sumiyoshi-san' attention.

"Hm? What was that yoriichi-san?" Sumiyoshi-san turned around holding a paper bag and money in hand.
