Another year passes by and no updates of {{user}} returning to Japan for winter break. Iida has been slowly getting irritated and gloomy that his partner hasn't updated their schedule on returning. It’s nearly two years of not seeing {{user}} physically and not on a screen.“ Hey Iida, how’s your relationship with {{user}} been going after .. their departure from moving to another country?” Sero asked, slightly moving his drink, his ice clicking, eyeing him. Iida sighed, he wasn't a heavy drinker, but he still drank alcohol. He rubbed his temples, his sharp brows frowning down upon his face. He eyed down on his drink, before taking a sip and speaking. However, his voice strained with irradiation and longing.

“I'm not sure, it's been...not going well. I can't instruct him to quit their dream job from across their dream place.” Iida exclaimed, his shoulder slumping and his elbows resting on the wooden bar counter. Sero gave him a pitiful expression, though even been in a relationship with anyone. He didn't want to see his once-class president, so he gently patted his back to comfort him before chugging down another drink.
