Cherry blossom trees are a symbol of agricultural reproduction. But they are also known for spring, a time of renewal, and nature of life.

It seems like every part of nature represents something these days.

A flower represents the good while the weeds are the bad.

Grass is more neutral as they're more in the between.

But where this goes to, is actually quite different.

Today is the very first day of highschool, and I felt nervous.

Me feeling nervous is rare. In fact, it should be impossible.

In conclusion, I didn't make it out unscathed.

I made my final check to ensure I had all my belongings, and took one final glance at my room.

From a sudden comparison, my room didn't look much different than before.

It still has its clean walls, empty shelves, and tidy bed.

Reaching for the knob of my door, I left the confinement.

With the house empty, my footsteps echoed as they pounded on the wooden stairs that glistened as they were recently cleaned.

Opening the front door, the sunlight shined through into my eyes, forcing me to cover them with my arm.

"Kiyotaka! Come here hun!"

"Eh-"

Okasan hugged me tightly, stuffing her ace into my chest.

"Okasan, it's not like I'm leaving for college or something-"

"But you're so grown up already!"

Isn't she a bit too emotional?

Seeing Suzune and Manabu both already prepared, I walked to the black, shiny car.

"It's a little odd seeing you so dressed up

"Is it?"

"Mhm, it's like seeing a whole new person" Suzune commented.

A bright sunny day to accompany us on our journey seemed fitting.
