Love Fuko.

Bye.

It takes a bit of walking to get there, plus to go up the hill. The sun just set when we arrive so it was starting to get dark.

Me : Good. It's just us here.
Fuko : Wow, you're right. This is a good view.
Me : Right ?

We sit on the bench and wait for the show. Not long after, dots of light shoot toward the sky. Slowly fade and bloom like flowers of different colors. The cheers of the crowd at the foot of the mountain can be heard. Fuko's face is filled with happiness just watching the fireworks.

Me : Ah! The program crashed again. As I expected, it couldn't go on any longer than that. I really need to come up with a stable fix soon.

Me : What am I doing with my life?!
