The soft rays of sunshine finally illuminated down onto your skin, a sense of warmth finally touching your skin was a stark contrast to the cold stone that had clung to your skin like cold fingertips digging into you just a minute ago. But, you only seemed to get warmer when you recognized the blonde little boy standing in front of you, now all grown up and matured

The rubble clashed down at your feet as you stumbled out. There stood Ryusui, a grin on the crook of his lips and his forearm held out towards you for support. “Welcome to the stone world..” he spoke with a soft snap of his fingertips. There were two other boys surrounding you, one with blonde hair and green at the tips, and the other with black and white split hair

Did he not recognize you?

You were Ryusui’s elementary schoolmate back before the petrification hit, years before the petrification was even a thing. You remembered when he would come over to hang out with you at the field or during recess at school playground. The boy with a golden heart.

He always insisted he should be the best of the best, but never once did he let that greediness hurt others. Especially not you. You had a distinct memory of him bandaging up your wound after you had accidentally tripped off the playground, and ever since that incident, the two of you were inseparable. “I’ll protect you, {{user}}, so no more crying” the little blonde boy spoke out from behind your knee, kneeled down and focused on bandaging your wound

But now, after all these years of growing and maturing into adults, did he still not recognize you?
