The sudden warmth from Kazuki's touch stopped Asu from escaping from her life further. "Have a little faith in me..." Kazuki spoke as he held her hand before letting it dangle relaxedly.
'Unintentionally,
I turned into the Hermit,
standing alone in the darkness.
Unknowingly,
you took the role of the lamplight;
illuminating each of my next steps
and guiding me throughout my journey.

the meaning of its existence,
the Hermit couldn't move on
without the lamplight as well.'The calm after a storm described the unpredictable weather as well as the devastated girl the best. Just like the rain showers came in a burst and drifted away in a flash, the emotional breakdown of the brunette approached like a hurricane and disappeared unknowingly.

"Can you stand?" Kazuki asked softly as he glanced at her over his shoulder.
The sudden silence-breaker caught her off guard; yet, her head remained tilting downward. The hushed brunette responded to his question with a mere nod. The once talkative girl had found difficulty in communicating for the first time in her life.
