She has calmed down. The wind feels good and helps her to soothe. The city's blend with nature makes the recovery all the more pleasant. Flora can feel like herself again. And it's also thanks to Yuuki who accompanied her until now. She looks over to him with a sincere smile.

"Yuuki, thanks a lot."

Yuuki looks over to her too, "As long as you feel alright, it's no problem." He replies with a smile as well.

They share this calm moment together, right after the storm. The disturbance calmed down and the sun shines softly over them as if to cleanse their pain. Their mutual feelings for each other grow fonder, with a little effect of heartstruck as well. Haha, it's sweet and calming.

"Enak ya di sungai," Yuuki utters in Indonesian, again.

Of course Flora didn't understand what he just said. Confusedly, she complains to him about it.

"Not with your thing again!"

Yuuki laughs about it. He knows his linguist trolling is successful, and he'll do it again. >:)

"I meant that it's serene being next to a river. Heheheh"

Pouting, Flora is still annoyed by it. She looks over at the streaming river again. Argh, this boy, I swear… Meanwhile, Yuuki lets out a short sigh then leans along with Flora and gazes at the river, or the small grove on the other side, or both, or in-between. Whatever. Before changing the topic to brighten the atmosphere.

"I'm glad you're okay."

"And thank you for that," Flora replies.

Flora takes a moment for herself to breathe in a lot of air, then lets it out.

"Let's become our old selves."

"Sounds good."

"Oh by the way, Yuuki."

"Hmm?" He looks over to Flora.

"Sorry that I didn't take care of you like I said I wanted to. Instead, I became the one who needed to be taken care of. Haha."

"But it's all good now, right?"

"Yeah," she nods. "I'll become my bright self. The one that you and everyone knows."

"The cheerful Flora," Yuuki adds. The girl cracks a small chuckle at it.

Yeah, let's go back to our lives, and move on joyfully.

And hope that we can solve her troubles.

"Oh, let's go back; it's gonna rain."
