There is no such thing as a dead oak tree.

I'd never heard of one, at least. Every oak I've ever seen is always so tall, sturdy and strong, and is spoken of the same.

I had never heard of an oak tree falling.

That's why it was so shocking to me to finally witness it. How I ended up under the falling tree, I don't remember.

Actually, I don't remember anything before that.

I didn't feel the impact of the tree, because the next instant, and I was in an airport.

With an all-too familiar face there to greet me.

"Takku-I mean, Naota?" That voice. I recognized it immediately. Because of that, I chose to ignore its presence.

But something like that didn't stop Samejima Mamimi from running her mouth.

As a matter of fact, few things did.

"You running away too, huh Ta…Naota-kun?"

Again, I stayed silent.

"Well then, Welcome to Paradise. Or at least, the Airport that'll take us there."
