“Will you love me forever?”

Laying his head on your lap, Kunikuzushi looked up at you. Sakura petals surrounded you two as you sat under the tree.

“A silly question.”

A vague response. He would give you the full answer, someday. For now, his feelings were sealed inside his heart, waiting for you to unlock them.

He disappeared suddenly, leaving your question hanging in the air. Two years later, a figure stood under the Sakura tree again, a stranger whose face you were too familiar with.
