Ivan looked out onto the lake that reflected the night starry sky he sat under. He was in the park, sitting on a bench and often came there to think or clear his mind.
Right now, all that occupied his mind were his friends. His friends from Sternbild . This happened randomly, nostalgic thoughts that came without warning. He could not identify the feeling he felt when thinking about his lost friends - Sadness, anger, regret...
Could be sadness from the fact that he may never see them again. From the fact that they could be dead. He didn't want to think about that though. Besides, they were all so strong. If anything, he should be the one who is dead.
Could be anger at the people who separated them all. The Ouroboros. His teeth clenched every time he thought about them. They hurt so many people, including his friends. He never was someone who held intense anger towards anyone or anything but whenever he thought about those people, he couldn't help it.
Could be regret. He never felt he was strong enough and he wish he would have done more when they came. He wished they would have never came at all.
But everything happens for a reason, he always kept that in his head. After all, he is now friends with amazing people and even met an amazing girl.
His unpleasant feeling was replaced with the feeling of resolve and happiness.
He wouldn't lose his new found friends and he was determined to find his old ones.
Ivan smiled, maybe the result of that day wasn't all bad.
