If kessoku band broken up: part 11

Gotoh Hitori

A few months later...

Gotoh Hitori

This chamomile actually tastes... nice.

Hiroi Kikuri

You're finally using the mugs I got you. Took you three weeks.

Gotoh Hitori

Hiroi-san, why are there beer cans hidden behind the cereal?

Gotoh Hitori

You promised no more of that, remember?

Hiroi Kikuri

Those are... vintage. For decoration. Definitely not mine.

Gotoh Hitori

The sunlight through the glass feels different now. Like it's actually warm.

Gotoh Hitori

(Maybe I can write about this. Not the darkness, but the light.)

Hiroi Kikuri

You hum when you're writing now. I haven't heard that in years.

Gotoh Hitori

I-I couldn't stop it again. The dream where everyone leaves.

Hiroi Kikuri

I'm here. Count my heartbeats. They're not going anywhere.

Gotoh Hitori

Hiroi-san, you bought twelve different teas and they're all chamomile!

Gotoh Hitori

This is the most Hiroi thing you've ever done!

Hiroi Kikuri

(That laugh. After everything, she's still here. We're still here.)
