Until we meet again.

3 years later...
Koutani calmly walking at the streets near Mori Nursery school. He looks up to the sky and the sunlight touches his face.
Koutani : Uwa.. Such a perfect day.
He continues walking and sees a bunch of children walking towards the pedestrian crossing.
Koutani : Red means "Stop"~
The teacher with the kids look at the light and turns to Koutani.
Teacher : Thanks for the warning.
Koutani : (smiles) No problem.
The light turns green and the kids cross the street. Koutani walks but suddenly stops. He turns his head to the side.
There was a girl standing under the tree. He couldn't get a good look on the girl's face but he felt something weird on his chest.
Koutani snaps out of it and continues walking. The moment he reaches the other side, he turns his head once more to see the girl.
Koutani : Who could that be...?
A guy's voice : Ooi, Kou-chan?
Koutani : (turns) Shin?
Shin : Uwa! It is you! When did you get back? Oh man, you missed our reunion!
Koutani : I just got here yesterday. I'm planning to have my vacation here.
Shin : Hontou?? Wow! You should've called us. We should hang out.
Koutani remembers the girl.
Koutani : Ah-! Chotto! Come with me.
He drags his friend somewhere where they can't be seen.
Shin : W-what's wrong?
Koutani : See that girl over there...
Shin : Where?
Koutani : Keep your head down. She'll see us.
Shin : Ooi Koutani. Are you a stalker now? Are you stalking that girl?
Koutani : Stalker?? ... Nai yo! I was just curious.. Do you know her?
Shin : I can't see her face. We should get closer.
Koutani : We can't, okay? ... I was just wondering...
"If she was the girl.... that time..."
Shin : You still have that habit.
Koutani : Eh?
Shin : Muttering to yourself.
Koutani : I'm not...
Shin : Hey! She's leaving!
Koutani : Hide!
He peeks from their hiding place and looks at the girl who walks away from the tree.
Koutani : (stunned) That girl....
The girl crosses the other side and continues walking until she's out of sight.
"It's her..."
...
Haru : When did you get back?
Koutani: Just a day ago.
