Chapter 2 – Remember…
At the Sohma's Main House
Yuki strolled out into the garden. He took a deep breath. Tohru…He thought about the times they shared and how she brought him out of the darkness. She showed him that it was alright to dream. And he dreamt…

Kyo read the letter once again, willing the words to change their forms, so that the context of the letter would change too. He scrunched the letter into a ball and stood up.
