⌠ 1 ⌡

We sit in silence.

The kind that's comfortable.


Sometimes, I forget 

how fast things can change.


Strangers becoming someone you trust.

Memories that you can finally face.


It almost makes my head swim.


Even now,

sitting here.

I can't help but smile.


Maybe,

that's just how it is.

Being sixteen.


Would I look back

when I'm older

and smile?


If I hadn't met them.

Yura.

Takeshi.

Ai.

...Eri.


I don't know

what I'd be.


Probably... nothing.

The same days,

looping together like fabric.

The same path,

the same books,

the same empty air.

For endless years.


I look up.

Ai and Takeshi are whispering quietly about something.

Her expression's warm.

The kind,

that makes your chest ache

a little.



But.


There's still something left.

Something I need to do.

The thing I've avoided.

I owe it to her.


To fix things while I can.

Even if I'm late.


Rain girl.






⌠ 2 ⌡

The unceasing rain.


Whenever I think of her.
