Makoto walked into her apartment tiredly. Sighing, she sat heavily and threw an arm over her eyes.
Now that her busy day was over, she had time to think. About him and what he had said and what she had blurted out beforehand.
She felt foolish and naïve, but she also felt renewed.
It had been a wake-up call, a splash in the face. She had been wanting to leave for some time now, had gone against her instincts and stayed. For him. For a boy. For a boy who did not want her.
The rejection hurt, more than Makoto knew she should let it, but not feeling was never easy for her. And yet, hope came with ease.
She could leave him behind, assured that she wasn't missing out on love. She could move on and find what was in Juuban. She'd been fighting it so hard, ignoring the whispery mumbles of the wind, telling herself she was going insane and hearing things and now…
Now the anticipation excited her. The optimism she had once felt for senpai was transferred to Juuban. She could almost feel the wind sweeping her in that direction whenever she stepped outside, tugging her with gusty hands, and joy that she was finally doing something for herself, something she knew could really be right, swept though her.
Already, Makoto felt lighter, breathed easier. For once, she felt nothing bad could come from this decision. Instead of second guessing herself, she wondered what was coming. Something, possibly someone, was waiting for her, wanted her, and quite possibly needed her.
Senpai could go jump off a cliff.
What she had not found in him, she would find in Juuban. And whatever it was, it would be right.
