Hachi
I always get carried away.
Hey, Nana, I'm such a fool. I dislike myself.
Pretty shoes, flushing red as strawberries, strolled uneasy in Tokyo. The streets were wet, splashing water on the pretty shoes. It wasn't nasty though. It was pleasurable for two pretty shoes, just strolling down the streets of Tokyo endlessly.
Pretty shoes stopped. Two insecure chocolate orbs searched the streets. Her hands trembled.
Nobu.
Unremarkable, for the common eye, he stood there. Nobu. For the common eye, he was neither beautiful nor charming. For her, he wasn't common. He was Nobu. Describing Nobu in simple words wouldn't work. You had to know Nobu to know.
She couldn't hold herself back. "Nobu!"
Immense eyes met hers, without a smile.
She lowered her eyes, which began tearing up. Why did I call him? I understand that he does not wish to speak to me.
Steps echoing on the street, nearing pretty shoes definitely. A coat thrown off broad shoulders, not as broad as a man's shoulders should be, covering the shoulders of a trembling girl – no, woman. "You'll catch a cold walking around in the rain dressed like that."
She met his eyes. Nobu, please don't torment me! Then she lowered her face again. Even though if I am the one to blame for the suffering.
Steps echoed further down the street. He left.
I always get carried away. I'm so sorry, Nobu.
