Well, just like how he went back home with Kumiko a week ago, the journey back to Gelsenkirchen took a long time, around 22 hours on the road.
He had to go to Tokyo first, waiting for so many hours before it was time to fly to Düsseldorf, and in the process, the boy had to transit for three hours in Dubai first, making the whole journey way more exhausting than necessary.
Not only that, though, right after he landed in Düsseldorf, the boy still had to continue the journey by train to Gelsenkirchen, and after that he had to walk back to his own flat alone, finding everything to be dark and cold in his own place while it should be a festive Christmas right now.
"Yeah, what can I expect here? Of course, everything will be quiet…" He couldn't help but smile wryly, putting down the bag and luggage that he carried before letting his body fall onto the bed.
The boy didn't forget to check his phone first, chatting with several people separately.
