It's snowing again. I sigh as I look up. It's been so cold lately. I sit down on a bench and think.

The egg I carry will hatch soon. I wonder what it'll be…

"Whatcha doing, Hiroshi?" a girl with pigtails that fell almost to her knees tilted her head and stared at me.

"Ack!" I fell off the backless bench and into the cold snow. "What's your problem?! I was just thinking… and besides, don't you usually wear those half up in buns?"

"Huh? Oh-yeah. But I felt like something different, ya'know?"

It's not really much different. You wore it like that in kindergarten.

"…"

"…"

"…"

Damn this awkward silence.

"Jeez, if you want something just say so! And don't just stand there either," I tell her.

"Huh? No-nothing. I just wanted to talk to you… You looked kinda lonely."

I turn my head because I'm blushing.

"Just sit down, you don't need to talk to me."

"… … …" Great! This is just worse!

"Hey, Hiroshi?" the girl said.

"Huh?" I turn back with a blank expression on.

"It was snowing when we met. Wasn't it?"

"… Yeah, I guess your right…"
