Is it possible to fall inlove with someone whom you haven't met yet?
...
If you believe in destiny... then maybe it's possible.
...
Those words... I never understood them until I met this guy... It was a year ago... Under this tree...
The Wonder Tree.
...
Miyu : hello?
Mom : Miyu? Did you receive my message?
Miyu : Yes. I'm almost there.
Mom : Good. Good. Oh.. And can you pick up some meat on your way home?
Miyu : Okay. Bye. ( hangs up )
Miyu continues walking and passes by the big tree across Mori Nursery School.
A guy stands by the tree.
Miyu glances at him before crossing the street. The school bell rings and she hurriedly goes to the entrance gate.
Yuki ( Miyu's little brother ) : *Oneechan! (Big sister!)
Yuki's teacher : Careful now.
Yuki runs to Miyu.
Miyu : Yuki~ (holds his hands) Were going to the grocery store first before going home. *Ii deshou? (Is it okay?)
Yuki : *Un~! (Yeah!)
Miyu : Yoshi. Hold my hand when crossing the street. Iku yo.
They cross the street again. Miyu glances towards the tree and the guy was still standing there.
...
Miyu and Yuki walk on the way to the grocery store.
Yuki : Tree man was there again.
Miyu : What? Tree man? Who?
Yuki : The man who stands by the big tree outside the school.
Miyu : (thinks) Ahhh.. That guy, huh? You call him Tree man?
Yuki : No. My classmates do. They're scared of that man.
Miyu : *Doushita? (Why?)
Yuki : ...
Miyu : Are you scared of him too?
Yuki : ...
Miyu : Sou... I guess Yuki is scared too, huh?
Yuki : *Iie. (No.)
Miyu : You're not scared then?
Yuki : ...... *Sukoshi. (A bit.)
Miyu : (chuckles) Ah~ *sukoshi dake. Don't worry, Yuki-kun. Neechan is here to pick you up and protect you. (Just a little.)
Yuki : But oneechan will be going to school soon...
Miyu : Then okaasan will be there. Or otousan. But if neechan can, I will pick you up.
Yuki : Un~!
A few days later...
Miyu : Hello?
Mom : Miyu? Where are you now?
Miyu : Still with Aya-chan and Rika.
Mom : Can you still pick up your brother today?
Miyu : You're busy, kaasan?
