Sakura never said anything about him having a friend or not. He figured not so long especially after Kotoha's visit when he was sick, or the way everyone seemed to include him in basically everything they did, or he might or might not have been eavesdropping some conversations where everyone assumed he was lonely from the start and had no one to lean to. That was probably why everyone tried their best to show the feelings of warmth and friendship were like. That thought made him blush of course, but he appreciated them, nonetheless. Well, the thing was he did have a feel on how friendship was like and it was...fun well it last...He thought. In which, Sakura went back to his old town to experience the past again and met his old friend in some way.

I'm just writing what was on the blog... Update: Added images, Mewo's commentary, Omocat's commentary, the original captions, and a part that was scrapped.
