In the end, Kumiko and her mother left first, wanting to spend their time as a family as well. This only left Higo alone, standing in front of the familiar yet somehow strange building in front of him.
Familiar in a sense that this was the place where he started everything, and if someone asked, the boy was sure he could tell what was inside, from the most obvious thing to the subtle part that no one would know.
However, it was also somehow strange, because the boy felt like it had been so long since he was here, knocking on the door and greeting everyone to announce his presence.
At this moment, before he even knocked on the door, all the memories from his childhood to the exact day when he left flashed before his eyes, and honestly, tears started to roll down his face as well right now.
Unfortunately, before he could think of something melancholic, the cold air outside blew so heavily, enough to make him shudder on the spot.
