Street in Japan
Tatsuya's POV
(What really happened was this…)
"Is that you Tatsuya-san?"
"Honoka?"
"Yes...what are you doing here?"
"I'm...uh...shopping.", I said while lifting up the two bags I was carrying.
The truth is that I had to go shopping after ...that incident...
I had a huge breakdown...
I flew back to Japan and returned home...
I went downstairs to my lab, trying to keep my mind off Miyuki, but I couldn't. I tried to focus on work...but I couldn't make any progress. I was so stressed that I clenched my fist and slammed the table.
Then I pushed everything off the table...papers and everything you would expect to be on a desk was all on the ground ...half broken.
During that time, I completely broke down...
I held myself together for about ten months, but I couldn't take it anymore!
"I can't believe I lost Miyuki again...I miss you, Miyuki...I need you Miyuki...", I thought.
As everything was either destroyed, crushed, or ripped apart, I leaned against a wall and wrapped my arms around my knees...
I was devastated...
I've been like that for six days, but on the seventh day...I knew that I had to pull myself together...Because there was hope...
Somehow I knew that Miyuki is close...she's here in Japan again...I feel her presence...somewhere
That's why I had to reorganize my lab. Everything was back to normal, but I had to buy a couple of things.
"Oh. I just finished shopping and I was heading home...um...can I walk with you...that is we are going the same way, well not going exactly the same way but...close...hehe sorry about that."
"That's alright. Let's walk together."
Honoka looks very nervous, her face is turning a bit pink and she put her hands in her pockets nervously...I wonder what's wrong...
Before I could have any more thoughts, I saw Honoka trip over...nothing?
But when I saw her falling, I grabbed her arm and pulled her close so she wouldn't fall.
"Honoka, are you okay?"
"Ye-s! I just tripped that's all. Thanks for catching me...hehe."
As she said these words, I let go of her arm and she stepped backwards.
[When Tatsuya grabbed Honoka's arm and pulled her close to prevent her from falling, from where Miyuki was, it looked like Tatsuya pulled her close and was hugging her]
After that, we parted ways and I returned back home...without knowing the slightest hint of Miyuki's whereabouts.
