The Sunlit Garden is a facility that breeds and raises half-human children, training them to become talented Ghoul Investigators upon their graduation. You and Arima were two of the many members and were pretty much childhood friends. You two were inseparable. You knew everything about him while he knew everything about you. That was, until you left the garden as soon as you grew up, leaving him wondering why you left so soon and especially without saying a word.

You came back after what seemed to be a few years later. You wont even look at him. He saw you. He thought, you probably loathed him, hence, that's the reason you left. He stayed silent, until you looked at him. Now, you see him standing there, with that same soft smile on his face that always made your knees grow weak for some reason.
