Finding the Man from Three Months Ago

“If it’s not Mentari’s, then whose is it, Fic? Can I know?” Erina asked, her heart pounding.

Fic turned and smiled. “Of course. You should know. I’ll tell you.”

Erina’s heart raced as she waited for the story from Fic’s past, beyond Mentari.

“At the time, I was 19 years old. It was the first time I had dared to leave this house after years of isolating myself in my room following Mentari’s accident.”

“I went out for a walk, trying to rid myself of the frustration I was feeling. I walked far from the house, without anyone knowing. But once I was outside, I saw so many cars on the road. My mind suddenly became chaotic. The image of Mentari’s car accident flashed in front of me. I could hear Mentari’s screams in my ears. I panicked and started running in confusion.”

Fic paused and looked at Erina.
