\\Hiro's point of view//

I just laid on my bed, waiting..

"Morning Tadashi" I smiled with my eyes closed "The gang will be here any minute"

I knew I wasn't going to get a response.

I didn't want to go to the SFIT today. It was two years since Tadashi died tonight, and every year since, they hold a memorial. A kind of 'Tadashi Hamada Day'. I hate it. Everyone reminds me of all the fun times we had together and they keep telling me that Tadashi's not really gone, as long as we remember him. But I remember him every day! He's not coming back!

"Hiro honey!" Aunt Cass sang out "Your friends are here!"

"Be there in a minute!" I called back. I took a deep breath. I slid open the room divider to Tadashi's side of the room. His room smelt the same as it did the day he died. His bed was still made and his cap lay on the sheets.

I sucked up some courage, picked up the cap and gently put it over my messy, black hair. The funny thing is, I don't really like the San Fransokyo Ninjas.

I rushed down the stairs to meet the gang- Honey, Gogo, Fred and Wasabi.

"Hey there my little college man" Aunt Cass hugged me, eyeing Tadashi's cap "Have fun at school"

I walked towards the door and suddenly turned back. "Last hug" I pulled aunt Cass into a hug.

We were barely a hundred metres from the cafe when Honey frowned "It's Tadashi Hamada Day today guys"

GoGo nudged her with her elbow.

"No, it's fine. Don't worry about me" I continued to walk as I threw my hands into the pockets of my jacket.

"You're wearing the SFN cap" Fred looked at the cap "For the first time since last Tadashi day"

"Yeah"

Soon enough, we were at the SFIT. A new picture of Tadashi hung from the windows of the SFIT and a banner ran across the top 'Rest in peace Tadashi Hamada'.

We entered the halls of the SFIT and I walked to my lab.

"See you later Hiro!" Honey farewelled and everyone waved goodbye.

I opened the door and just plonked myself onto my swivel chair, while opening a drawer and taking out a bag of gummy bears. I picked out a red one -my favourite- and just as I was about to plop it into my mouth, Baymax inflated.

"Hello Hiro"

"Hey Baymax. Want a gummy bear?" I chewed on the red one and offered him a green one.

"I am a robot. I cannot eat gummy bears"

"Oh, yeah"

"How are you?" He asked.

"Great. Except for it's Tadashi day today"

"Already? It feels like the last one was yesterday"

"That's great. It feels like forever for me"

"I understand. There, there" he hugged me.

"I just- I wish he came back somehow"

"That would be...sick" Baymax tilted his head as he looked at me.

"Yeah, it would"
