She had been walking aimlessly for hours around Tokyo. How could she! How could she leave leaving me alone, all by myself…! She knows exactly how it feels, she went through Zakuro, Pudding and Mint with me! And she promised!The flashback zoomed through her mind at the time of Mint's departure for London.

As the two girls watched the plane leave, they held hands and tried to hold back the tears.
"Ichigo….?"
"Yeah?" She wiped away some tears with a frail finger and slightly smiled, glad at least one friend was still here.
"I promise…I'll never leave you. Our friendship is too important…and I can't let you go through this alone!"
"Lettuce! I promise too!" They hugged and laughed happily, trusting the promise to keep their friendship close.

After what seemed like forever Ichigo lifted her head and saw the pink Café where she and her friends had spent countless hours 'working'. She smiled at the memory and went inside, finding the doors unlocked. Mint never worked…she only drank tea…and Lettuce was so clumsy, breaking everything we had…and Pudding was so talented with her tricks…I hope she does well in America…and then there is Zakuro…she was pretty rude though she never complained about working…. She unhappily sighed again.
"What's up?" Ryou asked, appearing from the basement doors.
"You knew didn't you? That Lettuce was leaving!"
"Of course I knew!" Ryou answered, a grim expression on his face.
"Why didn't you tell me! When did she tell you! When is--" Ryou placed his hand over her mouth.
"She said she wanted to tell you herself. And she found out approximately 2 days after Mint's departure. Incase you're wondering, she'll be leaving in a week."
Ichigo grew dizzy and she felt herself grow hot, before she knew it she had fainted in Ryou's arms.
