Why? Why is it taking so long..?

How long do I have to wait for even this flight to depart?

I have already canceled my previous flight and went for the earlier one. And yet, they are still making me wait.

Carene... I want to be with you right away.

How long has it been since you and I have spent our days happily together?

Really... coming to this trip has certainly been a mistake.

I shouldn't have come here, Carene. So far away from you... it feels very empty.

Hah... I am really lucky that it would be all over now. Thank you, God. Thank you for helping me to get away from that lonely place.

Just eating, sleeping, wasting my time... and repeat. Day after day, almost like a robotic sequence. I hated it. I absolutely hated it!

And, what I hated the most was... you not being around me, Carene.

Although the trip would last for a few more weeks, now that I have nothing to do with it, I would now have so much time to be with my Carene. More and more...

How happy~~! How happy I am!!

And, I am going to get more and more happy.

Not only that, but I am going to get my Carene to be even happier!

After remembering the happy times we spent together, I also remembered the day that she left my side suddenly.

Along with the breaking of my heart upon finding Carene... like that.

I really don't know why she left back then without telling me.

I fear that there might have been some unspeakable burdens on her heart that made her do that. Otherwise, Carene wasn't one to do something like that needlessly.

Unfortunately... I was too occupied with my own stuff and couldn't be as close to her as needed at that time. That would be my biggest regret to this date.

There is still some distance left to cross between the two of us.

After having gone through this dreadful experience, I am now more sure than ever, that I want Carene to be by my side, next to me, hand in hand with me. Forever.

I now realize that it is actually me that needs Carene more than she needs me.

I must not keep being passive toward my feelings any longer.

I must take active steps in pursuing Carene's heart.

I don't want to stop myself from being greedy or selfish this time.

Oh~ Carene~~. My dearest Carene... I hope that I am able to speak up about my heart's true feelings to you this time.

Although I stupidly gave up the best chance of being together with you before, I won't repeat my mistake this time.

By the way. There is one more thing that I have to be thankful for.

Ever since Carene moved in to live with us, there has been a huge change in Mother's nature.

Before she had been so distant to all of us. Not being around us in sickness. Not having dinner with us due to her multiple jobs. Not supporting us or even attending our School's Festivals.

I often dreamed about something. Our family, living happily, with Mother being very close to all of us. To prevent my heart from breaking, I often assumed Mother to be trying very hard to hold back her own worries from spilling over to any of us. That way, at least I won't blame our Mother any longer.
