Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: December Moments

Stands up…

 

"In this world, that changed. Everything is the opposite."

 

I went to the living room and saw the Christmas tree and gifts under it…

 

Suddenly Sakura took my shoulder and cuddled me.

 

"Wh-what now Sakura?"

 

Sakura smiles.

 

"Well… I just wanted to hug you. I have become strong now ever since the changed happened. Girls are required to go to the gym every day, anyway."

 

Then she showed me, lifting me into her arms so lightly it felt as though I were weightless, a feather floating on air. I gasp. Holding onto her. Then she puts him down again.

 

"See?" Sakura tells him.

 

Sigh…

 

"I know Sakura. You are strong now. I know."

 

After days…

 

December Twenty… Twenty Twenty-Five…

 

Ash is at a noodle shop at a different shop. The aroma of hot peppers was so strong that it permeated the air surrounding his bowl. He picks his lunch with his chopsticks. He took out the accurate drawing that he made of that girl. Just from his dreams. He sighs heavily. He finishes his cup bowl of noodles.

 

I will find you…

 

Even if it takes a long time…

 

Even if it hurts me…

 

He slowly leaves his seat. Walks out the front of the noodle shop with determination. Suddenly, a running girl bumped into him. It is Bloomy. Who is on the ground with a hurried face and a package delivery? Ash looks at the box and realized it was a parcel.

 

"Oh, are you doing a part-time job? Blossom?"

 

She nods a lot in a hurry. She quickly carries the parcel and runs away in a hurry.

 

"I guess it's important."

 

Slowly, Ash ambled along the pavement of the sidewalk. Enjoying the view of Tokyo at night. His scarf wrapping around his neck. The jacket giving him warmth.

 

After an hour, he is in his hometown from Tokyo. He deported from the train as he was at the station. Then he exits. He then stays at the Bridge. A short bridge with history. He looks up at the night sky. The moon shining brightly. A dark Milky Way in the background. Then he walks back to his house.

 

Another Day…

 

Failed to find her…

Hoping for her to talk in a dream…

 

For the rest of the days of the December. He enjoyed Christmas with his friends, family, and his sister…
