Rain pounded on the roof.
“Really, nothing new,” thought Shin Tsukimi with that same imperturbable indifference that is inherent in almost all old people who believe that they have already seen the world and look at it in a skeptical and contemptuous prism. However, Shin did not at all look like an old man the only thing he had in common with them was his absolutely terrible posture. That hunched back was the payoff of sitting at a computer for long periods of time.
Shin sighed. Soon, spoiled vision will be added to this ...
The young man at the same moment imagined himself wearing glasses; so big, round and ridiculous - just like Mishima's, only on him they will look a million times more shameful. Horrible! He will be laughed at and called myopic shrimp....
Shin closed his eyes and put his hand to his forehead, trying to collect his thoughts; they rushed about, replacing each other with fabulous speed, like ugly puppets.
He was terribly worried when he crossed from street to street and remembered all those places that it seemed Tsukimi had long ago managed to banish from his memory .. because he became a different person! ..
He clenched his usual burgundy scarf in his trembling hand, looking around the strange-looking house with great concern (not completed)

So much time has passed since Sou ceased to be an ideal in the eyes of Shin and appeared as a vile and heartless maniac. How much pain he brought! And yet, how many happy minutes... truly... happy.
...No. Imaginary happiness no longer interests Tsukimi. Shin wants to... get his questions answered and leave for good. And now, at 2 o'clock in the morning, for no apparent reason, he decided to return here, where he once lived with Hiyori... to return to leave forever... yes, that's right.
