Mayu woke up early, right before the sun rises. She gathered her things and she checked out of the inn. She walked until she reached the park which was located on a hill. She started running when she noticed that she's already near the peak. Shortly, Mayu is already out of breath but she still continued. "I can do this." She said as she continued running even though she's already feeling a little bit dizzy.
The tiredness that she's feeling all went away when she finally reached the peak, just in time for the sunrise. Slowly, Mayu tried to breathe calmly. She stretched her arms wide to feel the air and the warmth that comes from the sun.
"It feels good to be alive." She said. But then she felt something warm running from her nose. She touched it and found that her nose is bleeding. "Damn! I must have over exert myself." She said as she gets some tissue from her bag to wipe the blood from her nose.

Yuki walked aimlessly to the park. Her conversation with Nanami's doctor kept on playing on her mind.
"Your sister didn't get any serious injury from her fall. But we noticed her eyes. Has she been involved in an accident before?" The doctor said.
"Yes. That was five years ago. Why? Is there something wrong with my sister?" Yuki asked.
"Ah so that explains the damage on her eyes. Well, you see, there is nothing wrong with your sister. In fact, we would like to include her on the list of patients to undergo corneal transplant." The doctor explained. "Really?!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Yes. But it might take some time to get a donor for her."
Yuki sighed. "What's the use of being included on the list when there are no available donor? If only I could give her my eyes."
Yuki continued walking until her attention was caught by a woman sitting by a bench, not far from where she's currently standing. The woman was busy playing with her daughter. Yuki observed them, waiting for the right timing to silently approach them but to her dismay, the father came in and the three of them walked away happily.
She looked around and found an old woman sleeping while sitting on the bench right beside the bench that the family of three occupied earlier. Yuki looked around to see if there are other people around before walking towards the woman. "I'm sorry granny." She thought as she discreetly picked the wallet from the old woman's bag. Once she got it, she immediately went to an empty corner of the street to check on the wallet that she got. Little did she know that someone has saw what she did. A young girl, who was wearing a hoodie and carrying a back pack while chewing some gum.

Yuki reached the end of the empty street. After checking on her surrounding, she opened the wallet and found a picture of the old woman together with some young man, wearing a school uniform, probably her son. Yuki looked at it for a while before checking the wallet for some cash. She got the bills from the old woman's wallet before putting it inside her pocket and throwing it on the ground.

The girl named Ayaka was walking on her way home, when she saw a familiar wallet on the ground. "That looks like my wallet." She said as she walked towards it and picked it up. "This is really my wallet! How did -" she said after she opened it but was cut off when she felt someone held on to her shoulder. A man, sucking some lollipop, came from behind her and stood in front of her and took the wallet from her hand.
"Where is she?" The man asked. "Huh?" Ayaka looked at him with confusion. "I didn't saw her at the club. Did she leave already?" The man asked again before handing back the wallet to her. But before she could respond the man turned around and bit his lollipop real hard before throwing the stick on the ground.
"Yuki, wherever you are, I will find you."
------
Yuki went back to the park and saw a young girl with her hood on, sleeping with her arms crossed, sitting on the same bench that the old woman occupied earlier. She looked around her before walking towards the girl.
She walked quietly so as to not wake up the girl as she held on the zipper of the bag beside the girl. Just as she was about the open the bag, Yuki felt a hand grabbed her arm. "What the?" Yuki exclaimed. She saw the girl standing in front of her while holding her arm tight. "Is the money that you got from that grandmother not enough that you're trying to rob a sleeping high school girl?"
Yuki tried to pull her arm away but the girl tightened her hold on her. "Let me go!" She said as she try to break free. "No, I'm not. I'm going to turn you over to the police." The girl said with a blank expression on her face. "What?!"
"Are you deaf or something? I said I'm going to turn you over to the police." The girl said. "No!" Yuki said, making the girl scoffed. "You have the guts to rob an old woman and a high school girl but you're afraid to be turned over to the police for your crime? How interesting."
Yuki was now finally able to break free and was about to walk away but the girl stopped her. "You're not going anywhere." The girl looked at her from head to toe as she walked around checking on her.
"What are you doing?" Yuki asked, clearly irritated. "You're perfect." The girl replied. Yuki rolled her eyes. "What?"
"You don't want to go to the police right? Then be my personal driver." The girl said with a straight face. "Are you insane?" Yuki asked.
"No. I'm perfectly sane. And I'm serious. Be my personal driver for 100 hours and I will pay you a million yen."
