Unwritten Letters
Dear Seishirou-san,
Hokuto-chan keeps on nagging me to apologize for being late our date, but you didn't seem upset so I wasn't sure if you were just being polite about it or if you'd forgotten, and if you'd already forgotten, I didn't want to bring up any unpleasant memories for you.
...You're not mad at me are you?
I was really inconsiderate to take up your precious time and then not even showing up, but I couldn't think of an appropriate manner to make it up to you and I was too embarrassed to bring it up again so I didn't even properly apologize to you, and I hope you'll forgive me for that as well.
Yours,
Subaru
PS - And I know it's totally selfish of me and I have no right to ask this, but I'd really like to go on another date again if you can fit it in your schedule. I completely understand if you can't.

Ten years later, Subaru finds his note among the remains of Seishirou's belongings in his apartment. It's nestled in a drawer full of important papers, government contracts, and miscellaneous files he'd deemed important enough to keep, slightly yellowed from age, with soft, worn corners as if its owner had thumbed at it habitually.
Stapled under his post script are two tickets for the Tokyo Tower with a purchase date from the year previous, a few weeks prior to its destruction.
Subaru carefully disposes of everything else, but keeps his note, leaving it to sit quietly in the drawer by itself with the two tickets.
finis.
