"Hinata, would you join me at the dango shop?"
"Hai, Neji, thank you," she answered, startled.
After tea and dango he turned to her, "Summer's almost over…"
She crinkled her forehead, fearing a lecture on destiny and responsibility.
"Have you seen the leaves, Hinata? The colors begin to change."
"Hai."
"It's a very beautiful time."
"Hai, Neji."
"The leaves that fall colorfully in the wind are most beautiful of all."
"Hai."
"In winter, the ones left clinging to the top of the tree are brown and dry."
"Hai?"
"Don't choose to not let go, Hinata."
She smiles then, "Arigato, nii-san."
