After Asu parted off with the group, Kazuki found her. They spent quality time together, narrowing their distance once again- not until their companions found them.
'Our distance is just an inch away;
two and a half centimetres of distance
that we never break through.
We are so close;
yet, so far.'Misty clouds floated on the pond of a heated natural spring bath. Dampness lingered in the cold air before landing on the bare skins of its visitors. After rinsing her body, the brunette unwrapped her pure white towel and soaked herself in the boiling water, joining her companions.
The sky wore the waxing crescent as its pendant while the moon was accompanied by twinkling stars. Thanks to the knowledge gained from the grey-haired stargazer, the brunette recognised Mars and the Ram constellation at a glimpse.
The sky map took the role of the trigger to her memories. Memories of the night when the grey-haired man first taught her about the constellation floated up one scene after another in her brain silently as though a movie was on playback.
As though she found the missing puzzle, she finally saw the complete picture of the arrogant man and herself- the hidden message in the dream and also the indescribable feelings she once oversaw.
"The view is breathtaking," Asu commented as she locked her eyes on the constellation that she recognised. "Deshou? Glad that you don't have to work today, Asu. Otherwise, you'll miss the fun!" Mai responded.
