Recreation

Somehow, it faintly felt to Chihiro like a recreation of their parting when they reached the pass to cross into the train station.

Only it wasn't.

She wasn't turning from the magic to follow her parents back into her own world, and her fingers didn't slip through his in goodbye.

His fingers were firmly intertwined with her own as they raced down the steps and jumped from stone to stone each just as eager pass into the human world. Laughing and smiling. Deliriously happy to just be together.

And as they reached the archway, she turned to look back one final time. "You know, this is where we said goodbye the last time." she told him, a nostalgic smile touching her lips.

"No." he told her softly, shaking his head as if to add emphasis to his declaration. "We didn't say goodbye; goodbye's are forever, my sweet, and I knew we'd see each other again. It was merely a 'see you later'."
