Epilogue : six years later
Yayoi was overjoyed. Who would have thought that a young accountant of twenty two years old would had a job offered by one of the most well known photographer of the century ? But it was what had happened. Yayoi was very proud of being choose for this job. Working for Kinomoto Ritsuka-san was such an honor.
The man on himself was incredible. At the age of eighteen he had a job offered by a photographer. And in less than two years he had changed the little office into a buisiness known all around the country. Yayoi's wife, Yukio, was a big fan of Ritsuka-sama work. She had all of his album of photo. Yayoi suspected that she dreamed that this Ritsuka was the same one she had meet in the sixth grade, even if she was aware that it's not possible.
Lost in his thought Yayoi don't heard the man coming to see him. That's why the sound of the voice shoke him even more.
" Yayoi, I'm glad to see you again."
Yayoi lost all of his composture at the sound of this voice. Even six years after he still can recognize the voice of the deceased friend. His face become very pale.
" Yayoi ? Are you all right ?" Asked a now worried Ritsuka.
" Rit- Ritsuka ? Is it really you ?" Asked a lost Yayoi. " But you are dead ! We have gone to your funeral ! I'm becoming mad !"
" You are not. I'm really Ritsuka. Due to some circumstance I have to go into a hidding. But I'm back now."
" I'm so glad." Cried Yayoi. " Yukio would be so happy. But what are you doing here ? Does master Kinomoto had let you borrow his place today ?"
" No." Laughed Ritsuka. " I am Kinomoto Ritsuka. I am your boss."
" Incredible ! Does your family know this ?"
Ritsuka lost his smile at this.
" My biological family knows nothing about me. My family of heart knows everything about me."
" Your family of heart ?" Asked a puzzled Yayoi.
" My grand-mother, Hana. She is an incredible woman. And of course, Soubi."
Unknown to him, Ritsuka's face brightened at the name of the man. Yayoi had always wondered what the relationship between Ritsuka and the painter student was. Now he had the answer.
The two of them settle to the business after that. They agree to have a dinner with Yukio and Soubi, and Yayoi left even more happy than when he first had entered the office.

After Yayoi had left, Soubi come to Ritsuka's side. The older man take his lover into his arm and kissed him. Even after six year the two of them were as much in love as before. Soubi had never recovered from his memory lost, but nor him nor Ritsuka were bothered about it anymore. They have built a new life together and they are happy about it.
" You have done the right thing." Said Soubi.
" I hope so. I have let them down for too long, I hope Yukio would forgive me. "
" Don't worry. She will. But you have every right to be worried."
" Why ?"
" I am afraid that her hug would suffocate you." Laughed Soubi. " But don't worry too much. I will protect you with my life."
" You better. Or else my ghost would come to haunt you."
" And I will gladely welcome you." Smiled Soubi.
" I love you Soubi." Said seriously Ritsuka.
" I love you too, Ritsuka. More than I can say. You are my life."
" And you are mine. Always."
After that no more words were said. Ritsuka let his problem with the academy and the change he wanted. He also forget his awaited orders. All of this can wait. Soubi was his center of the world. And nothing mattered anymore except for his lover. And Soubi felt the same. They are all that they needed. Their love would last all their life, and that's just right.
