Chapter 15
And ten years from now, on a particular spring day. As the cool breeze rode with the waves of the ocean and thee golden sun was already setting, casting its last rays on the shore where our couple, Natsume and Mikan, was sitting. They were holding each other's hand and looking out to the horizon, thinking about their days in the Academy.
Mikan: It's fun to reminisce the old times, ne…Natsume?
Natsume: Yeah.
Mikan: Natsume, I wish we could stay like this forever…
Natsume: Mikan, promise me you won't be sad. Promise me you'll take care of Mitsume.
Mikan: Of course I would. What kind of mother would I be if I didn't?

Natsume: But there's no way out of this one.
Mikan: It's really hard to accept that fact…

Natsume: I'll never leave you…
Mikan: Natsume… I love you…
Natsume: I love you too… and I never want to see you cry…
Mikan: …Natsume…
Natsume fell asleep in Mikan's lap. Mikan hugged him and a tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away.
Mikan: I promised Natsume that I wouldn't cry… but… Natsume…
Natsume slept peacefully. He lay is a deep slumber never to wake up again. And as the first stars twinkled in the stark black sky, Mikan found herself alone in a world full of uncertainties and mysteries. She wished that she could be sleeping, just like Natsume, lying unconscious on her arms…
