Sounds of steps on snow echoed the place. They were slow and rhythmic. Each step reflecting the beating of a young woman's heart. Loud and ear-shattering.
The place so secluded you could hear the cold wind howling against your ear.
She reached the place she had come for.
Her heartbeat grew faster and louder. Tears she thought she had already used up started to fall. Not giving off any sign of them through the frozen weather.
She promised herself she would act strong for him when she goes to him. Thinking of the irony,she gives off a laugh that was filled with nothing, nothing but the emptiness she felt after that incident.
Slowly she moves closer to the slender stone and raises her finger. Gently, she traces over the name written over it. Her touch as soft as a feather but as cold as ice.
From her ebony black dress, she reaches over and shows a small bouquet of red chrysanthemums.
She looks over it and tightens her grip. She gazes over the grave again and tears flow much faster.
"I'm sorry," her voice says softly "…I…really am stupid. I know…it's too late, b-but,"
She feels a lump appear in her throat. She tries to swallow it as her heart breaks much more than it already had.
"I...I l-love you, too, Natsume."
With that, Mikan stands up and walks away as she cries much more freely. The silence she gets reminds her of how alone she really is now. Her love, her joy and her soul gone. Never had she felt so lost. And forever will she feel lost.
The flowers were from Natsume.
