"Still nothing." Our manager sighed. I walked out of the room to get some fresh air. You seemed fine two days ago, well as fine as you have been. I've notice your slowing down, your sad eyes, and your smile fading away. You wonder off into your own world almost all the time now. Are you feeling that way again? How long will you be gone this time? Do I have to search for you again? I made my way down to the bar and opened the door to find you on your usual stool. Your head laying on the counter like the last time, but you raised up as soon as I touched you back.
"Ruki!" You yell, smiling that goofy smile of yours. Here lately, you seem to be only happy when you're drunk.
"Let's get you home. " I said.
"I love you, Ruki!" You shout.
I smile as I leaned down and kissed your forehead. "Me too. I love you, too, Reita."
