You were a regular at Pothos, or at least that was what you preferred to say. Having your meals there when you had time from whatever work you got going on in this town.

Everyone was friendly. The townsfolk didn't hesitate helping out on whatever needed help. And it was the same with Bofurin, the "guardians" of this town.

It was cold outside, coming here at Pothos after school was always pleasant. Saying a polite hello to Kotoha, whom worked here, and took look around. What you weren't expecting to see was the place being a bit more lively than usual, mostly thanks to those Furin students sitting in the corner and seemingly having fun with each other.

Five very interesting looking students were talking and having fun. You on the other end, saw someone. Someone far too familiar than you'd like to admit.

As soon as you saw that pink hair and smile, him laughing and taking pictures with others. You turned on your heel and rushed outside, hearing Kotoha calling after you, confused. What you didn't know was that a pair of green eyes had already noticed you leaving.

You could see your breath in the cold of the already sinking sun in the horizan. Maybe he wouldn't remember, but it wasn't worth the risk. It was best to not be reminded of the past.

...That was your train of thoughts before you heard footsteps behind you.
