The quiet young man was really him. Even though he didn't show it to anyone, she knew how soft and colorful his heart was; as soft as cotton candy, as colorful as the balls of yarns.

For Our Happier Path

That morning, Hisaki sensed something good would happen to her. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but, the serenity of the quiet morning followed by the gentle sunlight was different than usual.

After Hisaki put some sunscreen on her face, she opened a box where she kept the letter. The envelope was crumpled slightly but, her old man's handwriting was still clear.

Because Hisaki often re-read the letter, she now could recite every single word without missing any. The love and affection that overflowed from her old man's heart continued to live on with the words he penned for her.

Hisaki kissed the letter dearly. After storing it properly inside the box, she got ready to go to work.

If That Were To Happen, It Would Be Easier To Deal With Him Later
