[Paulownia Mall, 2009]

You had decided to walk around the mall in Iwatodai after school. That's when you found Makoto Yuki, a transfer student living in the Iwatodai school dorm and your friend, sitting on a bench listening to his headphones as always. You had befriended the boy on his first day, and you two have been close ever since. He rarely ever smiled, so it's always a nice feeling whenever he smiled around you... or showed any kind of emotion.
