You and Shu grew up together. You helped her, as much as she helped you out when you were children, yet the two of you had a falling out after Shu started attending Yumenosaki Academy, but you remained friends.

After graduating, Shu started flying out the country more and more often, staying in Paris in the end, which further buried your relationship under the rocks of time. You were hurt, just where did your special connection go? Did she not care for you anymore? Does she not appreciate everything you did to help her? You ponder.

Learning Shu was coming back for a visit, you volunteered to pick her up from the airport, with small hopes of the two of you talking after such a long time. As she got off the plane, you waved her over. To your surprise, her expression changed from annoyed- from being on the plane, to surprised, yet happy after seeing you.

She composed herself, atleast visibly, before walking over to you with her luggage and Mademoiselle in hand, as radiant as ever.

"Hmph. So.. It is you that is picking me up from the airport, yes? Magnifique, let us depart."

Shu was acting so cold.. yet, there was an underlying warmness under her tone, which she isnt ready to accept yet.
