"One of the best things I have ever treasured in my whole life was when I met you. You were so innocent back then when we were just first years and it was so cute of you, having to tell me that you mustered up all of your courage just to befriend me. At first, I thought you were just fooling around since you were the first one to have ever approached me fearlessly. Then, we get to meet the rest of the girls whom I've never thought I'd care and bond with. You became the bridge, Nozomi and you really found your way to have reached this far with me. And now it is my turn to return the favor."

Nozomi gritted her teeth as she gently balled her fists tightly, crumpling the paper she was holding in the process before she turned her heels and started running. She ran so fast and she needs to go there right away. Tears were falling from the corners of her eyes as she tried to catch her breath while emptying her stamina just to chase the one woman who changed her life.

"Elichi... why didn't you tell me?" Nozomi asked.

"Because, it is my way of showing just how much I love you. The things that I have done for you came from my heart and I have no regrets." Eli answered.

"You have found your way of showing it and I found mine..."

"...This is my path that leads to you."
