I wonder when the beginning was.
The original beginning.
For the sake of the summer course, we were supposed to go to Hiyori's relative's house from the countryside.
If I remember correctly, that was what we were supposed to do.
I wonder what the name of that white-haired person who was at the house was.
I feel like it was an awfully weird name.
Well, I can't really talk about other people either though. A name like hibiya is most likely a moderately weird name as well.
That tall person who did things at his own pace.
Maybe I should ask Hiyori. Most likely, she probably remembers it.
It's just, I feel as if I've asked this many times in the past.
I wonder what kind of name it was...... well, whatever.
Now that I think about it, I wonder where Hiyori went.
I'm sure that we left the house together.
Has there ever been a time where we've been alone like this?
I feel like there has, but at the same time don't.
Huh...... It's even started to rain.
This is probably the first time, I think......
Inside of the dream that keeps repeating over and over,
the rain that the forecast didn't predict changes the city's scenery.
The voices of the cicada's that were crying so much,
and the standing heat haze as well, was completely hidden by the shadows today.
"Hey...... you."
"What is it?"
"Did you come here by yourself?"
"No...... I came with a friend, but we got separated"
"Friend?"
"Yes. We're always together. But for some reason I feel like we won't be able to see each other today......"
"I see. Do you want to see 'her'?"
"......I do."
"I see. Then it'll definitely be fine. You, and her as well, will definitely......"
"......Where are you going?"
"I don't mind if you follow me, but are you sure you won't regret it?"
"Yes."
"Then come with me. People like you, people who will help, will definitely be waiting."
"Help......?"
"Because there is definitely something that their 'eyes' and your 'eyes' can see......"
"――That's why, don't ever forget what happened today."
