For Our Happier Path

Hisaki thought she was alright no matter what happened to her now, that she didn't need anything anymore from her parents aside from their acceptance of her new life.

Yet, her heart quickly turned into a puddle of mess with the tearful apology from her mother and father. Each of their regretful words struck a chord deep inside of her.

Her mother and father did say sorry before but, her heart couldn't resonate with the apology. She couldn't perceive the sincerity in them.

Ignoring how the passersby looked at them weirdly, Hisaki stretched out her arms to return her parents' warm embrace. This time, she could say that she felt safe in their arms.

Choking back in her sobs, Hisaki smilingly and laughingly murmured, "...thank you. Really... thank you..."

The crash of different kinds of emotions overwhelmed Hisaki, rendering her almost speechless. She could only voice the same words, filled with her tears.
