The moment Hiroki stepped his foot onto the ground of the villa, an indescribable longing overbust within him.
This villa was chosen by his beloved wife among the many places they had gone for house viewing together. She always said she would plant the flower gardens and wait to see them bloom in spring and summer.
Right now, pink, yellow, blue and white petals of the flowers fluttered in the yard but...
She was not here.
"Daddy, let's go inside?"
Hiroki's thoughts dispersed once he heard his daughter's voice. He looked down at the child who was holding his left hand with her small right one.
Chiharu had her mother's eyes, they were bright and round.
"Yes..." Hiroki coughed a few times, trying to ease his feelings. He smiled at his daughter, "Let's go in."
Izumi and Kazuya followed from behind. The latter carried the suitcase containing Hiroki's clothes and other belongings.
