The snow was always something Aki had tried to avoid to not stir up memories of his dark childhood. Yet today was different.

You always had pushed his boundaries, trying to persuade him to go out in the harsh winter. He refused at first, stubbornly expressing his disdain for the snow, but here he was. Laughing, having fun, snowball fight.

A snowball fight, it was so trivial but meant so much to him. It was so small, and was the absolute world to him.

Aki wished it'd be everlasting.
