It was a gray, and rather dull morning. The clouds hid, covered by clouds that seemed like dirty snow. It was a day silent of voices, but also a day full of noise.

I had decided that I was going to take the subway home today like usual, but after giving it a thought...

"That would be rather bothersome." Remarking in a very blunt manner, I stated my opinion calmly. No one around me, as I spoken aloud. The decision to walk home today was made out of pure intuition.

For it was the better choice in my mind at the current moment. Even though it would most likely, if not probably, take longer. I was already done with work, and this was how I made up my decision to use my free time.

There was a place I usually frequented around here when making a choice like this one. So I figured I would stop by before doing anything else first.

Walking upon a somewhat busy street, the sidewalk I tread upon was made of many tones of gray. Buildings always to one side, and the open street where cars drive to the other. This was Seoul, located in Korea.

The slow drift of light from the glamor of sun, began to succumb. Blending ever steadily, into moonlight after dark. Despite the clouds that covered it all, I could only imagine the scene as somewhat tranquil.

A peace that could be yearned for, it made me remember. No...perhaps, the word realization coined a better term. I once lived somewhere else, and that somewhere was China.

Specifically, in Sichuan. However, tradition and culture were quite valued. Especially filial piety.

I used to live with it often when I was younger, however, nowadays? I didn't find myself following such a method of thinking or way of living any longer. Since, when the incident had happened...

"Why do I think of her now?" Letting out a breath, a heavy breath. Sighing deeply, as thoughts poured down on my mind. Weighing me into negativity.

Before I lived in Korea, and prior to all the events in my life. I found the first four years of my existence, of just living. To be the most happiest moments that brought forth my positivity into the world.

If I could ever return to those days, I would accept faster than a heartbeat. Though that would also mean being tied back to a last name that I detested so much, that it was the depth of something larger than my own being. For the accumulated history of that last name, was a thing I could never have any more relation to.

Yet it could never, and ever, be forgotten to my memory. Engraved in my brain. It washed in like a wave.

Collapsing onto my daydream that I used to live in like a tsunami, and the aftermath was just like that. For that was how the beholders of the last name Takuira lived.

-Bzt!-

Receiving a sudden notification from my phone, just as I was about to reach the spot I frequented, which was a cafe. Opening the door and entering, I yielded the option of checking the message for now as I place down my order first before anything else. And after doing so, I sat at my usual preferred place on the cafe.

It was a table near the glass-paned walls of the establishment, while most of the building was made with wood.

"I can only wonder what this could be..." I murmured monotonously in a quiet tone to myself. Bringing out my phone, I looked at the notification that was sent to me. It was a message, and from whom it had come from?
