Anew Start to Love

Last time

Mitsuri only looked at the door of her restaurant. Blankly staring as she thought of what happened yesterday... if only he didn't go through that rage, things could've been better— or yet— her plan could've gotten into action—- yet it didn't happen and things have gone downhill.

Mitsuri bonked her head on the table, wondering why things have gone awry.

Finally a costumer comes in—- though it's only Shinobu.

She saw her terribly distraught, and immediately rushed over. "Mitsuri!!!"

Saturday, 6 pm

It's been getting worse with Mitsuri. Although, with the help of of her dear friend, she finally had the confidence to tell him.

"Obanai."

He stayed silent. He knew what was going to happen.

Mitsuri took a deep breath, and calmly said to him "I want divorce."

Obanai stood there, taking it all in, but they didn't argue. There was no fight this time. It didn't matter how tired he was, but their marriage had only gotten worse— he doesn't want to ruin her life any more than he already had done. He felt terrible for what he did last time—- the only word that was muttered was a simple "okay"

Sunday, 7 am

Mitsuri did indeed help out Obanai pack up his stuff. "Thank you Mits—- Kanroji. You don't have to—" Before he could say anymore, Mitsuri interrupted, "no no— let me help out." "This is a lot of stuff after all" With her help, they both managed to pack everything up before Monday.

"I guess this our last goodbye." "Yeah" Mitsuri looked down, a little bit of her wants her to stay—- but the deed has been done. "I don't expect to be forgiven for all the things I've done to you..." He took the boxes to the truck along with her, continuing their conversation. "That's why the divorce was a good choice wasn't it?—- Still, I need some time alone to think about what I've done." They both finished packing— before he went to the car, he told her one last thing. "Bye Kanroji, maybe one day we'll see each other again." He turns, "And next time I'll be a better person." After those words, he finally went inside the truck, driving away, leaving Mitsuri standing there next to the doorway.

The moon is beautiful, .... it almost feels like the stars changed alignment..... "I wonder..." Mitsuri turned around, walking back in her house, knowing things weren't ever going to be the same again.

They were both now single, with Mitsuri free from the pain.
