Ayaka was your best friend, who really had a gift for skating.

She was more graceful than a swan, which was more than you could say for yourself. But Ayaka kept on trying and trying to get you to skate with her.

And this time, you gave in. The cold air nipped at your nose, but the warm clasp of her hands in yours made the cold feeling disappear.

“Just keep your legs steady, it’s alright if you fall.” Ayaka promised, her tone comforting.
