Yukimura and Ryoma went to the amusement park.
"Where do you want to go first?" Yukimura asked Ryoma.
"Anywhere will do" Ryoma answered .It's the second time she's been in an amusement park. The first time was with Sei. She doesn't want to remember Sei anymore so why does everything have to remind her of him.
Yukimura noticed that something is wrong but he decided to let it pass. He smiled. "Then, let's go to the haunted house." Yukimura suggested.
Ryoma nodded and followed Yukimura. Ryoma hate haunted house but it should be enough to remove Sei from her mind for a little time.
They went inside the haunted house. It didn't even scare the two of them. After that, they went to ride many other rides. They decided to rest. They went to a café there.
"Do you like amusement parks, Ryoma?" Yukimura asked. The silence between them was deafening so Yukimura decided to start a conversation. Yukimura like amusement parks because one of his important memories was in an amusement park together with someone important to him.
Ryoma looked at him. "No" she said. It contains one of her happiest memory but now that memory is also the saddest.
"Is that so?" Yukimura said.
"Yes" Ryoma told him.
"Let's ride the Ferris wheel before we go, shall we?" Yukimura said.
"Okay…Yukimura, the truth is I hate amusement parks. It contains one of my happy yet sad memories. I'm sorry if I spoil your fun." Ryoma said sadly.
"Sorry to remind you something like that" Yukimura said.
"It's nothing. Actually I feel refresh. I don't usually tell people I barely know anything about my life or even talk to them. I can't tell this to people close to me also because I don't want to burden them. It's been a long time I let someone see sadness in me. I usually smile even though I don't want to. I guess I feel comfortable around you." Ryoma told him honestly. She can't hate him for some reason. She doesn't understand but she trusts him even though she told herself not to trust people anymore. "You can forget about anything I said if you want. Thanks for listening even though I know it's boring to listen to me." Ryoma told him.
Yukimura looked at Ryoma. 'Why does this Ryoma seems familiar?' Yukimura thought. This Ryoma, the one that you can see everything she's feeling just by looking at her, seems familiar. "That's not true. It's not boring listening to your story." Yukimura told her. "I know it's lonely to be unable to tell someone your true feelings of have someone understand it. There are many people around you but because no one can understand you, you still feel alone." Yukimura told her.
They didn't speak with each other after that. They went to ride the Ferris wheel. Inside it, they can see the whole amusement park. It's really a nice view.
"Ryoma, you told me you have a sad memory in an amusement park, right?" Yukimura asked.
"Yes" Ryoma answered.
"Then, just create a happy memory in here so instead of remembering just the sad memory every time you go in an amusement park, you will also remember happy things. It's just one sad memory. You can still create many happy memories in here." Yukimura told her.
"How can I do that?" Ryoma asked. She really doesn't know how to create a good memory.
"Ryoma, will you be my friend. I know you don't want to trust people anymore because you're afraid but please just try." Yukimura said. He can't bear to see Ryoma looking sad.
Ryoma don't know what to do. Should she trust him? What if he's the same? There's a voice inside of her saying that she can trust him but she's scared. Ryoma decided. Nothing will start if she just remains the same. She has to try to trust others. She can't remain the same. She know she have to move on. "Y-Yes." Ryoma answered.
After that ride, they decided to go back. Ryoma looked at Yukimura. Maybe… maybe what she did was right. Maybe she deserves to have friends. Yukimura looked at Ryoma. He saw her staring at him. He smiled at her. Ryoma was shocked at first but smiled back. This shocked Yukimura. Ryoma's smile is so sincere. It's like the sun that can warm anyone's heart in an instant but it also seem like a glass and that if you touch it, it might break. He won't let her suffer anymore.
