Epilogue

A young 16-year-old girl sat on a park bench, watching the lake gently ripple in the light breeze. Her chin-length black hair blew about her shoulders, the warm sun accenting the purple highlights in her hair. Her violet eyes were slightly glazed over as she reminisced.

It's been almost half a year since we beat Chaos... And I haven't really changed much, have I? Her gaze flickered to her clothes. She was wearing a pale purple shirt, tight around the torso, loose around the sleeves. With it was a black skirt and black ankle boots. Heh, I remember the days when I wore blue and pink... But that was before... A sigh escaped her lips and her gaze flicked skyward. It was a beautiful spring day, and it was quiet. All Hotaru could hear was the rippling of water and the birds chirping.

And then she heard footsteps on the grass. Her head turned slightly. Standing in the glare of the sunlight was a male figure. Squinting against the brilliance of the light, Hotaru couldn't make out any features. As he took a few steps closer, the light was slightly blocked out and Hotaru felt a small pang of recognition. His hair was a dark violet, slightly messy, but he pulled off the look really easily. His eyes were deep ebony, and sparkling with his stunning smile. He wore black jeans and a dark violet shirt, loose with short sleeves. He took a seat next to the slightly perplexed Hotaru.

"Hello," he greeted cheerfully. "You looked kind of lonely over here. I was thinking you might want some company. I'm Matthew, by the way." He said all this in a cool, smooth voice. It made Hotaru's voice catch in her throat. She could not get herself to say that she'd rather be alone.

Instead, what came out was, "My name's Hotaru." And he gave her that stunning smile again. I have to stop staring... but he looks so familiar!

"It's nice to meet you, Hotaru." And she smiled at him.
