Whenever she would feel down, Sabito was there to cheer her up. He would come to her place and play video games and boardgames with her to keep her company. He would take her to places and have fun with her. It was the least he could do. Shinobu waited for Tomioka to call her or at least text her. He felt guilty he left her without saying anything and they both didn't bother talking to each other anymore. Meanwhile, Tomioka is at the hospital taking care of Urokodaki. He wanted him to recover quickly and get healthy because he wanted to go back. He thought of how he missed them so much, Of how he missed her so much.
As time passed by he eventually got over her. Since he couldn't come back because of his ill grandpa, He needed to go to school there so he would graduate. All he could think about was them. He tried forgetting about them so it wouldn't get in his way of studying. He was popular in his new school because of his looks and intelligence. Girls come and go into his life but he didn't really care. He wanted to focus on graduating, Getting a job and making his old man proud.
3 years later...
Shinobu had forgotten about him. For now. She was walking home after working until morning. She finally got the job that she wanted. She was really dizzy and sleepy. She was going to cross the road when, She saw a familiar figure. He was tall, Had messy black hair tied into a low ponytail. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands to see if she was just seeing someone who looks just like him or if it was really him. She was just standing there staring at him, Waiting for him to turn around. But someone came running to him and hugged his arm. He turned around and looked at her with an emotionless face. It was really him. Tomioka Giyuu.
She didn't know who the girl was but he also had sapphire eyes like him. She stared at them for a while. "Is she his girlfriend?" She thought to herself. "Impossible. He would never-" She noticed him staring at her as well. She looked somewhere else but he had already noticed her. He told the girl to go first because he had something to do. He walked to her and "Is it really you?" He asked. "Duh?" said. "Yep. It is you." He said. "I see you've become more emotionless. Do you even have a soul right now?" She teased.

"Do you wanna go grab coffee?" He said while pointing to the coffee shop near them.
They went inside and sat down on a table. Shinobu raised her hand to get the attention of the waiter. The waiter noticed and went to them. "Shinobu-chan?" He said. "Douma?" She said. "I bet you had a really long day at work, Tell me what you want and it's on the house!" He said. "Thank you" She says while they both gave their orders. "Douma really changed, Huh." Tomioka thought to himself. "When did you get here, Tomioka-san?" She said while sipping on her frappuccino. "Just yesterday" He said while looking down. "I'm sorry" He added. "For what?" She said. "Betsuni" He said.
A vein appeared on her temple and she just smiled at him. He avoided eye contact with her and just drank his coffee. They were both done so she thanked Douma. "Thank you for the drink!" She said while waving at him. "No problem, Come back again!" He also said while waving at them. They went outside and walked. "Where do you work, Tomioka-san?" She asked. "I got a job as a teacher at a school. You?" He answered. "Hehe. I'm glad you asked. I'm a nurse at the hospital where my sister works at!" She said. "Cool." He said. "You leave for three years and that's all you say?!?!" She punched his arm.
