It’s New Year’s Eve, a new year for a new person to be born.. right?

Wrong.

That’s what you tell yourself every year, and every year your the same old you, the same old mistake maker and issue causer. The problem, right?

Maybe.. someone could relate to that a little bit more than you’d like.

Reigen Arataka, that con-man. That charming, boss of yours has that same issue. The same old him, every single year.

Flashing fireworks, blue, red, orange, pink, purple, every color you could think of illuminating the ground. The light in the night sky giving some hope for a new life.

A productive life, right?

Anyway.. this all started as a “break” from work, it’s a holiday after all. And a holiday is better spent with someone else rather than alone.

And he chose to pick his favorite employee, you.

You’re both sitting on a grassy hill, a hill made by past mistakes and now beautiful life sprouting underneath you.

He would ramble, and ramble about mindless things. Mindless things you can’t even pay attention to with all the colors and sounds in front of you.

“Aha, anyway.. and I told that little green thing that I could exorcise him anytime I wanted!”

He spoke, within his words was slight uncertainty. The uncertainty showing in his voice more than intended. A nervous laugh hidden in the front of his sentence, is he trying to impress you?

In the depths of his eyes, you’re able to see the colors from the loud bombs that are now classified as beautiful, and a celebration tool within them.
