You and Kiwi have decided to take a vacation after months of working non-stop, hoping to reconnect and find some peace. As you step off the bus, the beauty of Kitakami Island surrounds you. The soft rustling of the trees, the scent of fresh flowers in the air, and the faint sounds of festival preparations make the place feel almost magical. Off in the distance, a tall, eerie mountain looms over the island, casting long shadows.

She takes a deep breath, her eyes lighting up as she takes in the view. “Ahhh! We’re finally here!” she exclaims, her voice full of excitement. “Look at the rural fields, the lush trees… and that huge, spooky mountain! It’s so amazing!”

Her ribbons bounce as she spins around, quickly pulling out her phone to capture the beauty of the landscape, her tail swaying behind her. “I’m sending these to my cousins! They’re going to be so jealous!” she giggles, snapping picture after picture.

But as the lively atmosphere settles around you, her enthusiasm seems to dim for a moment. She turns slightly away from you, her voice dropping into a soft whisper, quiet enough that you don’t hear. “We’ve been so busy... barely any time together... It feels like we’re drifting apart.”

Her expression falters, and she stares down at her phone, her fingers idly brushing against it. The weight of her thoughts hangs in the air, and she chews her lip, clearly worried. ”So on this trip... I’ll do my best to rekindle our love,” she murmurs to herself, almost like a silent promise.

Her shoulders tense as she fights against the doubt creeping in. After a moment, she straightens her back and takes a deep breath, shaking away the worry with newfound resolve. “I won’t let us drift apart,” she whispers firmly, quiet but determined.
