December - Two months later
Almost two months have passed since Ibuki Sumire last faded away right in front of Nagawa Sano.
Did it bother him that she didn't say anything to him but left words for Nagawa? No, something like that wouldn't bother him. Yuhi knew that even though Sumire said they would search for Mamoru together, she would eventually go off on her own.
Yuhi glanced up at the grey skies. Two whole months huh? There were times where he thought that Sumire would never return to him. Maybe she found Mamoru and is staying with him now. But at the same time he dismissed such thoughts, it felt like there was something wrong.
The first star shining brighter than anyone was it? Sumire, back then, you were already everyone's first star. The people who surrounded you all loved and respected you. Even among those who know her, there was love, respect, desire to beat, as well as those who strived to improve themselves, to stand by her side.
