It was almost sundown, the animals stopping their hunt for food in exchange of travelling to their nest, the sky taking on an orange and pink hue.

Despite the sky setting a romantic atmosphere for couples around, a lone man stood in front of a gravestone, holding a bouquet of sunflowers and blue roses, gazing at the tombstone with lonely, lifeless eyes.

He placed the bouquet at the base of the grave, kneeling in front and started to talk.

"Hey Naru.....It's been a while...I've been busy so I haven't been able to visit as much."

His lonely eyes gradually turned sad yet tender.

"...Who am I kidding...I'm just making excuses..."

"Hey Naru. What do you want to be in the future?"

"I just... I can't help it. Every time I visit, it hurts so much."

"Hmm? I wanna be the Sun!"

"The Sun? That's so stupid..."

"I really hate that you're not here anymore!"

"It's not stupid! I know you want to be a shadow that's why I wanna be the Sun! After all, the shadow needs the sun to exist, right?"

"I always remember the old times, when you were still here..."

"Wha-!"

"Shika! You're blushing aren't you~?"

"Am not!.....Shut up..."

"Hehe~"

"It should've been me six feet under! Not You!"

"Shika! Behind!"

"Naru-!"

"You're gone...all because of my stupidity! IT HURTS SO MUCH!!"

"Shika...please...take care.."

"Naru! Don't talk! You have to conserve your energy!"

"It's too late....Just know that...I..love you..."

"Naru!!"

The lone man gradually calmed down, the sniffles and tears receding. He stood up and brushed the dirt off his pants.

"I'll come again when I have the time..."

As he was walking away, a strong wind blew against his direction, carrying a message that made the man drop a single tear before walking away, a relieved smile on his face.
