14. Paper Planes
Nezumi Sado
He did smuggling again...
Will he ever stop embarrassing her?
"Ugh..."
She started folding the newspaper.
After just few minutes it was done.
She smiled and tossed it.
A plane made of newspaper started its way from the rooftop through the sky.
Down and down to the schoolyard.
"You know, I used to come here with Yuko."
"Sado-san..." she was surprised to see her here.
"We talked about lots of things."
"But I never thought this place is for bad memories or emotions."
"I..."
"It's strange though."
"You became weaker, and you're not talking back to me anymore."
"It's not fun, having you this obedient..."
"I have my reasons..."
"You always have reasons for everything, but you never tell about them."
"..."
"I know it's not my problem, but are you sad she left?"
She let her pink hood slide from her head on her back.
Then she looked up into the taller person's eyes.
"Sado-san."
"I never asked you about Yuko-san leaving you."
"Why do you keep asking me the same question about Center for the 10th time already?"
"Flying paper planes means friendship..."
"But this was no ordinary plane. It was made out of newspaper.."
"So what? Can't I make planes from newspapers?"
"I didn't say that."
"I'm just worried."
"??"
"I want the old Nezumi back."
"Why?.."
"Old Nezumi kept my fighting spirit on since Yuko left."
"This Nezumi is not the real Nezumi."
"She's hiding, running away."
"No. She's approaching, slowly."
And she hugged the taller one.
"Is it bad, if she reaches for the unreachable?"
"...I dunno..."
The taller one hugged her too.
"Sado-san..."
"Mm?"
"You're a nurse."
"Please, can you treat my heart's wounds?"
"How do you expect me to do that?"
"I have no idea."
"You're the nurse."
"I'm just a mere patient..."
"As for now, I know just the only way." and she tightened her hug, making it warmer and comforting.
"Thank you..." murmured Nezumi, while shedding a tear.
Let's leave the details of 'who', 'where', 'how', and etc up to your imagination, hehe
