tere (Guest): Glad you like it. Please continue reading! ^^

As the weeks passed, Yami and Yuki eventually got closer and closer to each other then became good friends. Kuonji also visited Yami every morning before she had her breakfast as usual. She thought that her life was getting better and better, but she really wants to go outside from her room.

One day, after they finished their breakfasts just like always, Yami said, "Ne, Yuki-chan?" "Yes?" Yuki answered while putting away the used plates and cutlery onto the trolley then sitting down across Yami again as usual. "What's it like in the outside world?" she asked while looking out of her window to see the grass and the trees. Sure, she has windows in her room and she had seen the pictures and read stories about the world outside her room in story books, fairy tales, and other books, but she really wants to go outside and play in the views that she had seen and read everyday.

Yuki noticed this and felt pity on her, because Yami had always been locked up in her room and her father never let her went outside her room, saying that it's dangerous. Instead, he gave books to Yami about the world outside her room, but it made her even more eager to go outside her room. Yuki really wanted to take Yami outside her room because she knew that Yami didn't belong in her room. She shouldn't be locked up there, trapped like a bird inside a bird cage. Yami couldn't go outside her room, yet she could see the scenery outside and read about it in the books that she had received from her father. It's torturing her.

Yuki knew that Yami could easily sneak out of her room and walk around the building she's in because there are not much people outside, but Yami was afraid of breaking her father's rule. She was afraid that if she breaks her father's rule, her father will be mad at her and banished her.

"Yuki-chan, are you alright?" Yami asked because Yuki had been staring at her since she asked the question. Yuki snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Yes? Sorry, I was just–", "Thinking?" Yami cut her off. "…Yes. I'm sorry." "It's fine." "The outside world… Hmm, it's kind of hard to explain. It varies on someone's point of view actually." "I see… What's your point of view then?" Yami asked again, smiling. "My point of view… I… I never really thought about it." "Oh, never mind then!" Yami said then getting up from her chair and stretching her arms.

"Yami-chan…" "Yes? What is it?" she replied while taking a picture book from her book shelf then sat down on her bed and gestured Yuki to sit next to her. "Don't you want to go outside your room? I mean, don't you ever get bored being here?" "Well, I do actually. Sometimes I get bored after you left, but I can't do anything so usually I just read and stuff." "Why don't you ask your father if you can go play outside then? I can accompany you", Yuki offered but Yami shook her head. "No, I've told you right, Yuki-chan? I'm scared. I'm scared that if I even mention about my wish to go out of my room, my father will be mad at me. Or he might throw me away", Yami answered looking sad.

"He's the only family I've got, and I really don't want to make him mad… I don't know what I'll do if he throws me away. I really don't want to be alone anymore, especially since I haven't regained my memories." At this Yuki frowned, "What are you talking about Yami?! You are never alone! I will always be with you. Isn't that what friends supposed to do?!" Yami stared at her in awe, astonished that Yuki was able to speak like that with that tone. Usually, no matter what she said, Yuki would always retort politely. But she's happy to know that her only friend could talk like that for her. She smiled, "I guess so. Thank you Yuki-chan! I'm lucky to have a friend like you. You're my best friend!"
