He thanks the old woman over and over before running out of the cafe, sprinting down the street. She waves him goodbye, knowing how this is going to go because she's been in a similar situation. Love can always prevail if it never died down in the first place.

Satoru's brain is swirling, it almost doesn't feel real. He rushes back to his apartment to get himself ready, swinging the door open and immediately going into the bathroom to take a shower.

The next couple hours were spent by Satoru making sure he looks his best. Almost an hour shower, blow drying his hair, brushing his teeth, scavenging his closet for something to wear and digging out old boxes to look for fancy accessories.

He checks himself in the mirror one last time, fixing the collar of his shirt. He clutches the locket you gave him the day you left, almost wishing on every shooting star that this will go well.

Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. He walks over and opens it. Behind it was Megumi. Satoru opens the door wider and motions for him to come in.

"What's up, kid?"

"Nothing. I was just on my way back from a movie with Yuji. He still feels bad about the camera, you know."

Right, the camera.

"Tell him not to worry about it. It broke anyway."

"Broke? Are you serious?"

"Yeah, it slipped off my desk."

"Sorry.. I knew how much it meant to you."

"It's nothing for you to worry about. I'll be okay." Satoru spoke with glossed eyes behind his glasses, he doesn't want to think about the camera right now.

"I actually came by to give you something." He then proceeded to pull something out of his bag. It was a framed picture of the 3 of you the day you went to the zoo when Megumi was 10.

Satoru takes the picture frame in his hands and scans it. He was holding Megumi up on his shoulders and you had your arms around his waist with a smile that could light up an entire city. It looked like you guys were a real family.

"Why are you giving me this? I appreciate it, but don't you want to keep it?"

"You probably need it more than I do."

A smile made its way onto Satoru's face, fighting the urge to give the boy a hug.

"Do you think y/n will ever come back?" He suddenly asked, a hint of desperation in his voice, like he was itching for Satoru to say yes. It was obvious what he came over for. He wanted his hope to be reassured because unbeknownst to everyone around him, Megumi too had faith that you would return.

The question made Satoru's eyes widen a bit. He had never outright asked about you.

"She's back in town.. I'm actually on my way to see her right now."

A glint of happiness sparked in his eyes. He would never tell anyone about how much he missed being around you, but Satoru knew.

"Did you guys get back together?"

"No.. not yet. She doesn't know that I'm aware of her coming back. I only found out a couple hours ago. I'm assuming she didn't want me finding out in the first place. It just happened to be a coincidence that I walked into the same cafe she did, the owner told me she was in town and we were both invited to the same party tonight."

But was it really a coincidence? Satoru wasn't the type to believe in fate or the stars aligning, but this seemed too surreal to just be a coincidence.

"Don't you screw this up. Get her back and keep her here."
