There Kouta was, sitting on a park bench, occasionally taking a sip from a can of soda. After a while, he finally stood up and tossed the empty can of soda that he was drinking from not too long ago into a trash can and decided to take a stroll. That is, not before picking up and throwing away a plastic cable he saw lying nearby the trash can itself. He's not one to always do this sort of thing, but he doesn't find it troublesome in doing such deeds once in a while.
A green leaf from a tree branch fell not too far from him when he took a lazy step on a dried stem. The greeneries that nature had to offer was something Kouta preferred rather than some grey city walls and tiles.
He sighed contently as he saw a group of children playing nearby. It seemed that a birthday party of one of those children is taking place not too far from where he's standing. He can tell from the obvious décor and from the table that was full of food in polystyrene containers, glasses of juice with straws, tissues, plastic spoons and so on. There were even candy wrappers scattered all over the table.
He smiled to himself as he remembered his own birthday as a child. He clearly recalled how excited he was to blow out the candles of his birthday cake. But it's not only his birthday cake. No. For he was part of a set of triplets. So the cake was to be shared. Not that he minds for he loves his brothers dearly.
"Hey, Kouta." A voice suddenly called to him from behind, making Kouta stop his train of thoughts. He turned around to see his two brothers, Ouzou and Ryuuji. Ouzou seemed to be busy with his phone and a top-up coupon. Ryuuji however, was smiling warmly at Kouta."Daydreaming again?"
Kouta shifted his gaze from Ryuuji and to the ground. His brother figured him out so easily. In response, Kouta kicked a stone nearby and shrugged. "Perhaps I was..."
