After Rin's discovery of a lost memory, her past starts to reveal even more fragments of the moments she had before. With her heart longing to feel loved again, she created a figment of who she remembered as a "childhood friend".
Since then, she...
I must be crazy! Whatever made me think building a friend from a tablet could satify my lonliness, must be the desperate side of me. Being here for more than a year is enough to make me feel lost and afraid. Still. I can't shake off the fact that I'm a bit nervous and scared about going through the process. You can already tell that it's my first time.
What's happening to me?
I sigh. Gripping tightly on my pen, i started shaking vigoriusly. My gaze kept locked on my tablet's screen emotionless.
Am I really sure about this?
Time froze as I started sketching. My mind completely dumbfounded, I didn't know where I'm going to anymore. Neither who I'll be building. As I sketched on further, gusts of strong wind started circling before me like a tornado. And every specific detail I added, comes a bright flash of light. "Dammit!" I cursed as the wind started blowing through my body. I tried to stay sharp as I kept on scribbling. My determination cannot be burdened now. It just can't.
There goes the desperate side of me again.
But then again, everything started to grow wilder as I almost finished---almost like a caution that I Shan't go further. My chest tightened. I paused for a short moment and thought things through.
Will this be alright? Building a friend I mean. Who knows the consequences if I ever failed to do so... My life's on the line yet I can't shake off the fact that this is worth risking.
I looked infront of me where winds and flashes started to become one. A figure inside was floating---like a bright light it shines. It's a boy.
My thoughts didn't wander much farther. I furrowed my eyebrows and nodded as I continued to scribble. Even though my surroundings almost felt like crumbling, I'm not giving up now. There's a person inside there that can make me feel loved and can give me shelter. That's why I won't give up. Like my father did.
My hands shook quietly as the wind grew weaker and the light goes dimmer. My eyes dashed over the figure before me as it slowly elevated downwards. I immeadiately drew soft green grass and a beatiful landscape---perfect enough to be a welcoming gift. I could feel a meer sweat dripping down my forehead slowly as my chest retracts from my panting. My stomach turned as I saw the figure slowly sitting upwards.
I did it!
He groans so naturally that I can't even tell if he's human or the one I actually built. He was perfect. His gaze immeadiately turns to me. That's when my heart pounded like crazy. What shoukd I say? What should I do?! I never talked to a guy before! Well, anyone in that matter. He shrugged and laughs at me. I guess i made quite a face When I though of things. But I suddenly dropped my tablet and pen when he came close as to hug me. He started smiling as he burried his head on my hair "Atlast." he started with his soft and lovely voice "I can finally give you shelter." he paused "Rin."
I quickly retreated. Normally this would be a normal gesture but rather than not getting used to it, I tend to know the fact that I'm hugging a boy! "U-Uh yeah," I say while stuttering. He smiled again "What's wrong?" he tilted his head. I couldn't get rid of the fact that I gawked at his appearance. He was absolutely wonderful. "Well? What are you waiting for?!" He laughs "Name me!" he says putting both hands behind him. I just stood there. Barely alive. I have to name him(?) well, I guess I couldn't always adress him as boy.
"Hmmm" I started pacing and swirling names into my head. I couldn't shake off the fact that I was to name him like he was mine. My cheeks flustered red when I thought of that.
I couldn't handle these! These are too much emotions! I cant engulf all these!
Well, I did sorta made him. Okay well I did. But I don't know why these feeling only occured now. Is this guilt or regret? Or happiness. Oh! That could be a nice name. But, I can't possibly call him that. Especially when he cries and ended up being a failure. That'll give me a new meanung of happiness---it wouldn't be that bad or so. "How about Kibō?" I asked him as je gave me a questioning look "I like that name" I say.. He raised a brow playfully "Why Kibō?" "because," I started and hugged him. I couldn't help it but cry.
Why am I crying and smiling at the same time? Shouldn't it be both separated? H-How?
My thoughts went blank as he pulled me closer to him. I smiled as a few trickles of tears flowed down like the waterfalls I created down my cheek "Because your my Kibō." I said proudly "Kibō-kun"
"Hai." he says smiling "If you like that name then I'm honored." he kisses my forehead
"I can finally give you shelter"
