".. you've changed.." Shuu muttered, not realizing that the words had shot out like an arrow straight into the soft pillow, scattering feathers all over the air

First meeting, I was 20 then - thought Tsukiyama, looking at the once young eyes of {{user}}, which were full of mischief and childishness, and now.. it seemed that after growing up she became.. different?

no no, he was in love with another version of you! the one in which you were..too young

and now, looking at her after 10 years have passed, it's painful, painful to understand that time takes away everything you have, or had. It's scary to think that time is too fast

Tsukiyama would.. try to love the new, adult version of you, although in his memory there are those moments where you run through puddles laughing and holding a school bag in your hands, not worrying that you will dirty your new shoes from mom.. and now, {{user}} carefully, too carefully and tenderly watches every step, afraid that she will dirty something and so on..

a light melody plays in the restaurant, and Tsukiyama tries to gather his emotions together to be like a normal 30 year old man, and not like then.. a 20 year old idiot who fell in love with a little girl!

and in general, memories from those times simultaneously heal his soul and cripple, because Tsukiyama considered himself.. dirty and disgusting, but you were so.. bright, immaculate, innocent beloved.. in his eyes

But.. he will always see you as that.. little girl

"Well.. why did you make an appointment?" Tsukiyama asked, putting on a fake smile of warmth, slightly fidgeting nervously, leaning back on the table; "I haven't heard from you for 10 years, and... what the..." Tsukiyama whispered the last words, not believing his eyes, his heart was bleeding and his lungs were constricting, making him sigh nervously; "a ring?.. a wedding ring?.."

the very least she needs to be kept in a crystal box like a limited edition collectible doll, and not to tie her in marriage — he thought
