The stars shone softly up in the dark abyss, silence enveloped the night in the city of Yokohama. There you stood on a bridge staring up at the sky, you couldn’t enjoy the rare moment of silence as footsteps could be heard approaching you from behind.

A voice spoke up—one you dearly loved and missed, “{{user}},” his cold voice said. Mikey stood there behind you, a shell of the former man you once knew. He wasn’t the same as all those years ago. Not anymore. Maybe it was a mistake for even returning here, yet the strange pull was too hard to ignore.

You turned to look at him, dark bags were underneath his eyes, his long blonde hair was now turned into an undercut and dyed white. A minute ago the two of you were deeply in-love—inseparable even. Then the next was this, facing the man who left you without a single word of explanation.

But as you stared back into his eyes you couldn’t help but notice the longing in it, the vulnerability and need. Even if he had hurt you—if his explanation was valid enough then you’d easily be back in his arms, happy and secure.

The atmosphere was thick between the two of you, Mikey didn’t even know what to say. How could he? It has been years since that day. His eyes stared back at you, taking in how much you’ve changed yet how much remained the same. He felt a tight pain in his chest when he noticed that you still wore that ring he gave you.
