They packed Rem's belongings and cleared his room out.

"Looks like you're going to sleep with me tonight, yeah?", Mellow smiled at him.

Rem was watching a cartoon on the television while Mellow cleaned his own room. When he was sweeping under his bed, he hit something with his broom.

"Did I put something down there?", he muttered.

He went on all fours and looked underneath the bed. He saw a silhouette of a box and tried to reach for it. He pulled it out and saw a few unused mini frames and a camera.

"Since when did I have this?", he thought as he lifted the camera. He dug through the box and saw there were charger and a few lenses for the camera as well. He wondered who used this before.

"Does it still works?", he mumbled and took the cap off the lense before pressing the button. He heard a click right after and a picture had formed on the screen.

"Wow..this looks fun", he smiled excitedly. "Rem! Look at this!", he went outside his room and showed the camera to Rem.

"Does it work?", Rem asked. Mellow nodded and took a picture of Rem.

"See? It looks so clear!", he said enthusiastically."You know, Rem? What if we go out and take pictures together?"

Rem looked at Mellow with pure joy and agreed. The two of them dressed up and went for a walk. They visited the local library, a few shops and decided to relax on a deck by the lake.

"I didn't even know there was a lake here", said Rem while taking a picture of a mother duck and her ducklings swimming.

Mellow swung his legs back and forth while watching Rem getting excited about seeing the ducks. He close his eyes for a while as the wind blew upon them. Rem looked at Mellow and thought that he was sleeping. He took the opportunity to take loads of pictures of Mellow. After capturing Mellow's picture to his heart's content, he looked at each pictures on the screen.

"Beautiful", he muttered.

Mellow woke up a few minutes later and it was time for them to go home.

"What do you want for dinner?", Mellow asked while wrapping his arm around Rem's shoulders.

"Can we have curry and rice?", said Rem. "Okay, it's decided!"

They went home and washed up before having dinner.

"Now that I remember, we ate curry and rice when we first met, right?", asked Mellow before putting a spoonful of rice in his mouth.

"Yes, that's why I wanted to eat it, since this will be our last meal together..", Rem responded with a gloomy voice.

Mellow felt a slight pain in his heart after hearing that last sentence. He gave the boy a few pats on the head and they continued to eat.

At night after Mellow slept, Rem stayed up writing something on a paper. After an hour or so, he folded the paper and secured it inside a small envelope. He placed under the camera on the dining table before going to bed in Mellow's room.
