The Spring that never arrived.

"Vi was the only one who saw through my sloppy act and she could tell when I didn't put any effort into answering her question. We all have some secrets that we keep to ourselves. I knew that the boy under the sakura blossoms tree disappeared and the girl who cherished the boy died over time and the promise I made to Shu was just a bad joke."

Meet Mirin who tells a tale of the boy she saw in high school and how certain things changed after the encounter before New year's eve. Discover the connection between Mirin and Shu along with the dark events that entangle Mirin which she keeps hidden from her best friend.

Here's a glimpse of the story:
"Until a while ago, whenever you spoke of Shu your eyes lit up like a child who is overwhelmed after receiving a present." Those words left from Vi's lips in a rather sulky manner. She continued. "Sometimes I feel that you avoid looking into my eyes, you smile but pretend now and then. I wonder if you can hear me when I speak to you or if you are lost in your delusional world. A sad look fell over Vi's face. "I miss that girl who gave off a fluffy feeling when I sat next to her.

I looked up at the night sky only to meet a black blanket of dark clouds that reflected my mood. The moon was nowhere in sight and the stars decided to hide. It was just Vi, me and the long night that we were going to waste away toasting to all the broken souls.
