Chapter 27

-"That's great. Did you get something?"

"A drink at some bar"

"Is it cold outside?"

"Freezing"She sighed.

"I should have known better"

One year and a half later

Running down the road. Tears on his face, water pouring on him, the world seemed against every single string that could connect him to reality. Destiny had other plans for him. After graduation, things didn't go as he wanted them to.

Another year later

Yuji's pov

I rushed towards the greenhouse, stomping a few times on the muggy, moisty path, sun-kissed by the late afternoon may rays, warming up my face, arms and hands gently. My hair reflected in the light, as pink refreshed the air. Working and studying at the same time for sure isn't easy! Exhausted, I reached the destination, one of the most wonderful, colourful and enormous places you can visit in this town.

This is where I began writing a diary. Spending my days alone meditating and writing down whatever was going on inside my head, set me free and helped me through my grief, together with therapy.

Throughout summer, winter, autumn and spring, days passed by as I wrote about my malaise and studied at university. Three years have gone by since I moved from the old town where I used to live. Apart from my grandpa's house, nothing's there for me anymore. That's why I haven't come back there since then. All my memories are treasured in a small piece of my heart and in a box, resting now under my bed in that house. I've adored the years that accompanied me through my loneliness, teenage fever, dreams, and endless love for all the people surrounding me and making me feel better. I look at those years nostalgically, really melancholically. I miss them sadly and I wish I could go back in time way too many times. Holding every single one of those memories in my hands vividly, being able to remember exactly what I felt, and living it again, would make me the happiest man on earth.

Those memories however, will never come back. They're destined to fade away in time, just like I do.

I rushed under the pouring rain to the huge and marvellous entrance of the university, still adorned by its shimmering lights, shining under the rain droplets. Although it was already eight in the morning, the city was still quite dim, the sky of a dark light-blue accompanied by several clouds. I closed my umbrella as soon as I advanced in the hall, soaking wet and swearing under my breath. I walked up the stairs, greeting the secretary and directly going towards my lesson, ruffling my hair, trying to fix it, despite the water drops still dripping down its strands.

"You're in room 102 today, Itadori"

"Oh" I halted my movements, sighing after and turning around, facing her again. I had just begun making my way in the corridor at my left, in order to reach the underground laboratories.

"You should hurry, your lecture begins in..." She glanced at the rinomate and fancy, silver watch placed on her left wrist, "three minutes".

"Where do I find that fucking room?"

"Third floor, all down the corridor, on your left. Watch your mouth"She smirked.

"Thanks, Charlie!"She glared at me while I ran all up the stairs, reaching my destination a minute after the lesson started, panting.

"Jesus" I sighed, hardly succeeding in catching my breath.

"You've reached the first place again" I removed my glasses as her voice reached me from behind, turning around. She smiled sweetly, approaching me after passing through the elegant, monumental door.
