Story So Far:

"Miyu! You're coming? Really?"

"Hai, mama."

"Well, then I'll book a ticket for this Saturday! It's not too early for you, is it?"

"No, mama. School's almost over and I don't have many things to pack anyways."

"That's great dear! We can't wait to see you! We'll be waiting at the airport for you!"

"Thanks mama. I miss you."

"I miss you too. See you soon!"

I have to leave to let you go

"THIS SATURDAY?!" exclaimed Nanami over the phone.

"Ehehe. Well, yeah…"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Miyu! You've got to be kidding me! That's too soon! Can't it be delayed?" asked Nanami as she, Aya, Santa and Nozumo watched Miyu sip her tea quietly.

"Yeah," continued Aya. "Couldn't you wait for the summer break to start? I mean, it's only a few months away –"

"No."

"W-what?" asked the whole gang, surprised by her sudden reply.

"I said no. I can't wait. I would go right now if I could."

"Don't make such a rash decision!" shouted Nozumo. "Think about things first!"

"…"

"So, Miyu, are you telling me that you're ready to leave behind all of your friends just because of a guy?" cried Nanami. "Aren't you stronger than that?!"

"It's not that easy…to be strong…" replied Miyu softly. "I've tried. Believe me, I've tried."

"Miyu…"

"And besides," she chirped, trying to change the atmosphere, "I think I need some change in my life. I need to develop as an individual; I need to find my own voice in a crowd of people. And, even though the journey with you guys has been fun so far," she smiled, "I need to embrace some change in life."

"I understand," said Santa, who hadn't spoken at all till then. "I hope you succeed," he continued cheerfully before leaving the room.

Seeing their raven-haired friend accept this fact, the others admitted defeat as well. "Yeah…hope you succeed," mumbled Nozumo as he made for the door as well.

"We'll miss you," said Aya as she followed Nozumo out the door.

"Keep in touch and come back to visit sometime," said Nanami as she hugged her blonde friend and left.

"Yeah…bye guys," mumbled Miyu as she poured another cup of tea for herself.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Eh? What are you guys doing here?" asked Miyu, surprised to see her friends waiting for her at the airport. The slightly depressed blonde was sporting a brown T-shirt and a pair of khaki pants. Her hair, though already very short, was tied up, causing a few loose strands of hair to adorn her porcelain face.

"Did you really think that we'd let you go without seeing you off?" asked Nanami, feigning hurt in a very dramatic manner. This caused the whole group to burst into laughter.

"Ahahaha! Nanami-chan! You really suck at acting!" said Miyu between laughs. "Anyways, guys, thanks for coming to see me off. It really means a lot to me," she continued, nearly tearing up.

"Aw, Miyu, don't cry," started Santa. This was followed by a group hug initiated by Nozumo and then a long, sad sigh following the blonde towards her gate.

I'll see you soon.

On the other side of the airport, oblivious of his best friend's departure, Kanata was waiting for a certain raven haired girl to walk through the doors. Just a while longer… he thought to himself.
