Nao reminisced about yesterday.







The trees were silent, and the sun was now leaving the horizon.

"―you're a very special person, Hana."

He stated, with a relieved smile on his face.

Nao was once unsure about what he was feeling.

But now, if he had the courage, he would have embraced Hana again on the spot.


With his newfound trust in her―

he found the strength to keep walking.



To have the strength to trust again.




To have the courage to forgive, and to be forgiven.




"Nao…!"

Hana remarked, taken aback by what she heard.

Nao wasn't usually this forward.


It gave her a new perspective about him―


something new to love.



"I feel the same… I wouldn't replace you for anyone else!"

She replied, shouting.





And then, all was good in the world.





"What a good memory,"



he thought.
