it was a cloudy day and you were at your best friend's house doing a final project, so you had been there since very early. riki kept an eye on your presence and certainly couldn't hide the interest he had in you, because he constantly came to the dining room to bother his younger sister, when he was really there to see you.

however, the problem started when everyone sat down to dinner together and nostalgia hit you hard. everyone knew that this was not your native country and unfortunately for you, you had to study in an unknown territory and without any company, so seeing your best friend's family having dinner together made you feel emotional.

riki found it strange to see you go out into the yard in the middle of the night, sat on the porch while you watched the stars.

however, he took the courage to go over to you and sit next to you, surprised to see the silent tears running down your cheeks.

— "what's wrong?” he almost whispered when he saw your condition.
