Chapter 3: Lighting...Pouring Rain...

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight. Thank you for everything."

"No problem. Uhm..May..I..May I ask for your name?"

She was dumbstruck. What name can she tell him? Should she tell him that she can't remember anything? Would he believe her? Think. Fast. Think fast.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me your name. Just sleep for now. I'll see you tomorrow."

Yosuke turned and went to his own room. He looked sad and disappointed. She didn't mean to hurt him. She entered her room and tried to sleep.

O lighting, pouring rain O

She breathed heavily, there was sweat all over her body. She curled up like a ball and hugged her pillow tight.

O lighting, pouring rain O

She started to cry. She was scared of lightning. There's nothing to do but to hide under the sheets, hug her pillow tight, and cry.

O lightning, pouring rain O

She was endlessly crying when suddenly... warmth enveloped her body. It was a familiar feeling. One that she felt not long ago.

"Please don't cry, I'm here now, I'll protect you."

She looked up and saw a pair of soft and kind eyes. It was him.

O lightning, pouring rain O

She sank into his embrace, he was warm and he smelled good. He hugged her closer to him, closer to his heart.

"I don't know my name. I can't remember anything."

"Shhh...just relax and sleep. We'll talk about that tomorrow. Sleep now."

He gently caressed her cheek and kissed her forehead. She slowly shut her eyes and slept. There was silence in the room, the only noise he could hear was her breathing.

He held her hand and closed his eyes. He was falling to slumber when...

"What's this?"

He felt something cold and hard around her wrist. It was a bracelet. He removed it from her and turned the lamp on. The bracelet was silver and looked like a dog's collar. He looked at it carefully and noticed some words engraved at the inner side of the bracelet. He read it slowly.

Happy 1st birthday my dear Momoko. August 24, 1987.
