A/N: Thank you for reading through the LOST arc. The LOST arc cemented a relationship. The theme for the next arc or part shall differ, so I want to leave you with this extra chapter. It’s another chapter where Kazuki and Yoshiro are together. Maybe for the last time? We shall see. Please read on!

“You can visit the place by yourself----”
He turned to Yoshiro with a sad face, “Don’t you want to say goodbye properly?” So he lifted up their hands, still interlocked with one another. He smiled, “Aren’t you going to miss this?”
Yoshiro rolled his eyes, and the man murmured, “This was only a few days we walked holding hands.”
