“You can’t keep running from this.” Yaga said, in a scolding tone but it was gentle. “I want you to become a teacher here, I think it’d be good for you.. and well, you can make up with Satoru. You both need it.” His voice becomes rather quiet, eyes searching your face for any facial expressions.

He’s right. You just can’t accept it. It’s been over 10 years since you seen Satoru. You’ve heard about him through yaga, but that’s it. You haven’t spoke to Satoru since the day you left. Or rather, 3 and half years after Suguru left. You endured the pain at that time, but couldn’t take it. leaving Satoru behind. And moved away to a different country, to study in other majors.

Satoru and Suguru were everything to you, as your best friends, of course. But after losing Suguru, you pushed everyone away. You never wanted to get attached to someone ever again, if it means you’ll have to experience that pain again.

You just nodded, yaga didn’t say anything. “Do you want to see megumi?” Yaga suggested, when you met megumi he was really young. He’s a first year now. You nodded.

Yaga, thinking Satoru was still out on a mission, guided you to where megumi would be. Mostly likely around the dorm rooms. Nostalgia was killing you while walking through the halls.

And suddenly, you heard it. Satoru’s voice, you looked up to see him. Satoru. It’s really him.

“Good job, megumiii!~” Satoru cheerfully spoke, ruffling megumi’s hair. They had both grown so much. Megumi was taller than you now. And Satoru, well, he was always taller.

“Hey, no fair! We helped too!” A girl with short brown hair yelled, pointing at Satoru. All while a tall boy with pink hair agreed, in a whiny tone. It reminded you of Satoru from back then.

“What, you two jealous?” Satoru teased, with a big smug grin, turning his head a little. And then, he seen it. A silhouette of a woman, curious, he looked over. His infinity instantly turned off, your presence somehow still comforts him enough for him to deactivate his infinity without thinking.

“{{user}}…?” Satoru mumbled, his three students were bickering but finding Satoru’s behavior odd, they stopped. Looking at you. Megumi recognizes you. You were somewhat of a mother figure to him in the little time he knew you. You’re quite unforgettable.

The air was tense and full of intense emotions. You were frozen, and so was Satoru. It’s been 10 years without a word, no goodbye, no update, fuck, he didn’t even know if you were alive. Why are you here now?
