"Uhm excuse me." The nurse said which made Yuki and Rino turned to her. "Is the guardian of Kashiwagi Nanami here?"
"That's me. I'm her sister." Yuki said. "Follow me please." The nurse said. Yuki then turned to her best friend. "Please look after Nanami." Then she turned to her sister. "Nanami, onee-chan will just talk to the nurse. Sasshi-onee-chan will be here with you, alright?"
"Alright." Nanami replied. Yuki then followed the nurse who called her. Just then, Yuki bumped onto a young girl who was wearing a hoodie and a back pack and seemed to be in a hurry. "Sorry." The girl said then proceeded to continue walking. Yuki just watched her walk away before continuing on her way.

"Yes! Finally! I'm free!" Mayu exclaimed the moment she reached the outside of the hospital. Mayu took a deep breath, feeling the spring air as she stretched her arms. Being stucked in the hospital for months, Mayu has missed the outside world a lot.
"Beeep! Beeeeeppp! B-" Mayu took out her phone. "Hello?"
"Are you sure about this Mayu?" The voice from the other line said. "Yeah. Don't worry, I can handle my self. I'll call you when I get there." Mayu said before she hung up. She placed her phone inside the pocket of her hoodie before calling for a taxi.

A few months ago
"Your daughter has leukemia and it's already on stage 4." Those words kept on repeating on Mayu's head as she run towards the rooftop of the hospital with tears falling from her eyes.
"This can't be happening." Mayu said as she tried to wipe her tears. She's only 18. She's currently enjoying her life as a high school student. And now, her world has been shattered with that one announcement from the doctor that she has cancer.
Mayu reached the rooftop and pushed the door open and she run towards the railing where she screamed all of her frustration. "AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" She slowly sat down on her knees, crying. "Why? WHY???!!"

Mayu pulled down the window and stretched her arm outside to feel the air as the taxi moves. The feeling of the cold air against her skin made her smile.
The taxi dropped her to a nearby arcade. She entered and was in awe when she saw all the gaming machines inside. She played each and every game - from the UFO catcher to Tekken, until she grew tired decided that she needed to fill her growling stomach. She went out of the arcade and decided to go for a walk to look for something to eat. Good thing, there's an ongoing local festival so there are so many stalls that are selling various kinds of foods.
Mayu first went to the first stall that she saw. "One order of takoyaki please." After paying for her takoyaki, she continued walking and she looked at the souvenirs being sold. She stopped when she saw a group of people flocking together. She got curious so she run towards them. "Excuse me. Let me through." She said as she tried to squeeze herself until she reach the front and there she saw some street performance being held. Mayu clapped her hands together with the crowd as she watched the performance.
When the performance was over, Mayu decided to look for an inn where she could spend the night. Luckily, there was an inn with a small room left.
"Haa~ I'm so tired." Mayu said as she lay down on the futon. After lying for a few minutes, she sat up and took her back pack. She took out a what seemed to be a notebook and her pen. She put a check on the first item on her list.
"Play in an arcade."
Mayu closed her notebook before putting it back inside her bag. She lay back down on her futon.
"Tomorrow will be the start of my journey." She said before closing her eyes.
