Sky

[ACF's point of view]

"Thank you for the invitation." she thanked me with her smile more than her words. A rose aroma surrounded the air around her. It attracted everyone to her. She was a rose. A rose with thorns. Simple yet complicated, and without a choice I found myself wanting to be her friend.

"No need. You're a family after all." I tried hard to make it sound natural. I was awkward.

"Family... Yeah, we are." she yet again smiled at me.

We sat together in the middle of the sunflower garden - spoke together making memories of this day. They were letters our inner selves wrote for themselves; Recollected.

"Arthur..." I called him, "Arthur..." I pulled my hand and tapped him on the shoulders, "Do you hear me?" He had zoned out. Thinking of nothing but her, Bacia. "She's beautiful~ Doesn't she look like Pandora? I haven't seen her (Pandora) a lot, but I think she does look like her."

"She does... But..."

"But?"

"It's nothing. Nevermind..."

His eye followed every hair that moved with Bacia. I wondered where his thoughts carried him to. Arthur smiled at her as she laughed. Cared only for her on that day. Probably, it lasted forever...

[Enzo's point of view]

Arthur's gazes at Bacia reminded me of... him and her... Of course, it did. It was them after all in front of me, and every little course of action they had taken reflected in my mind like a song I sang to remember what I had forgotten - when I needed it.

It all was out of my hand. How could we be this peaceful in a world that never saw peace?

Similar breezes... Similar feelings dug deep in me a little by little as I waited for them. We sat on the ground with a bench (Alden's smoking bench) as one of our borders. Alden, Leala, and Lowell sat on the bench when we all sat on the cold ground.

The sun soon disappeared. It was around dusk when we all knew that we soon would have to go back in. A heavy day it was as Jessica fell sick, then she rose again. Bacia arrived. And it was the first snow of the year...

"It's snowing." Loyal noticed when he raised his hands to the sky and picked a snowflake with them.

It was the first snow already when the sunset completely. We all stood and looked at the sky together. Slowly, we decided it was time for us to go back in after we stood at the falling white cotton of the infinite sky.

As I reached the stairs, I remembered I forgot one of my digits-less gloves outside on the lonely table at the center of the garden.

"I'm going back outside." I pointed out before leaving.

"Hm? [Arthur turned back at me] okay... I think... I forgot my laptop outside. Can you please get it for me too?"

"Sure!" he left his laptop in my care? Bacia drove him with her unconsciously. That was not Arthur that I knew.

I ran outside as those snowflakes decided to fully embrace the dying sunflower garden with its white dress; I stood under the snowy sky. The endless grey land yet had to be white. My hand froze. I saw both my glove and Arthur's laptop on the table. But what was under it - the table - was probably something no one knew about but myself.
