Shimizu's P.O.V.
Hmph. Finally, Ryu's gone.
...
...I'm all alone now
...So quiet
...Sora
...Akiyama Sora
Someone opened the door of the clinic and I saw dad.
Shimizu: Dad!
Dr. Yoo: Hey.
Shimizu: Tell me, was that Sora awhile ago?
Dr. Yoo: Yep.
Shimizu: Why didn't you tell me sooner!
Dr. Yoo: Why? Did something happen? <sits beside Shimizu>
Shimizu: Dad! I... I was... a bit rough to him earlier. Now I feel bad, I left him a bad impression. What do I dooo?
Dr. Yoo: Hehe, I guess you better make it up for him. Where'd he go anyways?
Shimizu: He said he was going somewhere.
Dr. Yoo: I need him to take care of the corpse of the dog. The dog didn't make it. He stopped breathing and no sign of life.
Shimizu: ...Inu
Dr. Yoo: You miss your dog?
Shimizu: I'm worried. What if he run into some stray dogs? What if he gets dognapped?
Dr. Yoo: Don't worry, he's in safe hands.
Shimizu: How can you be so sure?
Dr. Yoo: Trust me. He's fine.
Shimizu: If you say so. (I feel like dad also knows where Inu is)
《Inu is my dog. I lost Inu since the day we arrived. Actually, it was Ryu's fault. I shouldn't have entrusted Ryu to take Inu for a walk. Aarrrgh! That idiot! Now he's telling me that he found Inu, but he won't tell me where he is. Tsk, once Inu returns, I will definitely teach him a new trick that would paralyze Ryu.》
Shimizu: Dad, I'm gonna go look for Inu. Ryu's a bastard, he found the dog but he won't tell me where he is.
Yoo: Mizu! Don't call him bastard. Do you even know what that means?
Shimizu: Sorry.
Yoo: <sigh>... go look for Inu.
Shimizu: <stands> See ya then.
《I left him in the bench and started to look around.》
Shimizu: Inuuu! Inuuu! <whistles>
《I went out of town and tried to search for him elsewhere. I tried to look for him at the forest, no sign. At the fields, no sign. At the foot of the mountain, no sign. I decided to go up the mountain. The moment I reached the top, the cool breeze blew on me and the view was breathtaking. It was a majestic panorama. I can also sight the ravishing view of the ocean. But then, while I was enjoying the view, I heard someone murmuring just near around me. The sound was coming from the edge of the cliff. Literally, by the edge of the cliff. I followed the sound as it gets clearer and clearer.》
???: ---how are you? I hope you're fine wherever you are. Oh! Right, have I already told you that I have my own dog now? I met him on the streets. I've always wanted one when I was a kid. Remember when I always cried because you wouldn't let me keep a dog since mom was allergic to fur... I also met someone. When I first saw her, she reminded me of mom. But! She's not that really friendly. Her name's Shim-
Shimizu: (Who in the world?)
《I knelt down and peeked down the edge of the cliff.》
Shimizu: AH!!! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING THERE?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!
