I was walking back home with my friends and the fact that I was walking back in a group instead of how I used to walk alone with my earphones plugged in a year ago was intriguing. I was surprised by how much my life had changed over the course of a year and mainly in the past few months.
We were walking towards the station, so the road was always crowded with students and normal people, too. It was one of those busy streets during that time.
We were walking rather slowly, as none of us were in a hurry and our destination wasn't actually the station but the intersection that comes before it. Tsūmen and Kizhashi lived somewhere in the same neighbourhood as me, maybe a little farther.
As the sun was already setting, it illuminated the sky in bright orange colour and the noise of people chattering around me was there with the frequent chirping of birds and cars honking on the road.
