HOPE YOU ENJOY.
Prologue
As the world would have it, time moved on. And yet, the
cherry blossoms fell the same way they did that day, when Yu Narukami, the
silent hero of Inaba, left, the reason being that only a few days had passed
since then. While it was a sad event for the Investigation Team, they knew that
they were still friends, and that they could see each other once more. They
even had each other’s cellphone numbers, it wasn’t too much of a problem. And
yet, while this remained a fact, the brown-haired teenager was laying down,
looking up at the sky… watching everything.
It was a sunny day, with few clouds passing by. Counting
them would be pointless, since there were so few. Even so, he continued to look
at the never-ending blue above. As a wind blew by, he snuck on his headphones,
and closed his eyes.

Nightshift at Junes…
He sighed. His father business has been hectic as of late,
since they decided to have a spring sale. Regardless that no one quit or took a
vacation, the job was still tough. Yosuke looked once more at the sky, silently
contemplating his job and the whole murder case. He needed a break, but wasn’t
given one. So he had decided to sleep on the grass, as the weather wasn’t too
hot or cold.

Slowly, but surely, the sky had changed from light blue to deep
orange. His cellphone rang a couple of times before he was able to shut it off.
He groaned, got up groggily, wiped off whatever grass was on him, took his bag
and left. As he walked, he looked at his phone and saw that he had an hour
before his shift would start. He smiled a bit, stuffed his phone in his pocked,
and turned off his music. The cherry blossoms were still falling from the sky,
making the sky seem as though it were dancing the waltz.
He continued walking steadily, on a path not headed towards
his workplace. That was the plan after all. To go visit someone before his
shift started. He wondered why he hadn’t done that before. These past few days
were busy, that is for certain. Today wasn’t an exception either, it was like
any other day that had passed. The sky fell in the same way, the cherry
blossoms flew endlessly, and the winds never ceased either. So, why is it that
he had to visit this person today?
No, he knew the reason. It was because that today meant
something. Not something pleasant, but it was a day that had temporarily
changed his life, and at this time, no one was going to be there anyways. He
started running, in order to see her as soon as possible.
And with that momentum, he arrived. He held his breath, and
his heart was beating a bit faster than usual, from the running and from
nervousness. But, he approached his destination slowly. He saw the multiple
flowers left in front of her, as well as the food and the incenses. He made a
nervous smile, like he always had when he saw her, and started speaking
shakily, like he always did:
-
… Hey Saki-senpai. How are you doing today?
