Conclusion

At the coming-of-age ceremony, you didn't come to this town.

Huh?

This isn't a happy ending???

I.

Couldn't help it.

I flew off.

To your town.

The ticket gate.

“...Huh?”

“Hey, I’ve been waiting for you!”

No way. Why are you here?

You were wearing a nostalgic smile.

“Let’s go!”

“Huh??”

“Come on!”

The observation deck of a towering skyscraper. You can see the night view.

“Hey, come over here.”

I was hesitant. Fireworks went off in the distance.

“Beautiful...”

You had become beautiful, too. No, you were too beautiful. I wondered if you had changed from the way you used to be.

“You know, I’m getting married.”

“Oh... congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

A lonely smile crossed your face.

“I’m happy for you.”

"Really?"

"…Of course! You are going to be happy!!"

"…Thank you."

"Well then, goodbye!"

I was running.
But I bumped into the crowd and fell. Ah, I hate the city!!

"Oh? Excuse me. Are you alright?"

The mysterious gentleman spoke to me with unexpectedly kind words.

"Ah, yes. I'm sorry. For bumping into you. I'm fine."

The mysterious gentleman smiled broadly.

"That's good!"

"I'm sorry. Thank you very much."

As I tried to leave,

"Ah, wait a moment, please."

"Yes?"

The gentleman held up a small seashell earring. It was the... gift I had been intending to give her.

"Are you giving up?"

"Eh?"

The gentleman continued with a mysterious smile.

You know my true feelings, don't you?

...

I took the earring and looked for you once more.

You were still in the same place as before.

Hey, listen. Let's go back to town together.

...Huh?

You don't really want to be here, do you?

...How could you tell?

It's obvious.

...

Here.

I held out the earring.

Let's go back to town together.

Is it really okay for me to go back?

Of course it is.

We smiled at each other.

Let's go home.

Yeah.

When I suddenly remembered and turned around, the gentleman from before was already gone.

...Several decades later.

The two of us are laughing as the town's long-lived couple.

One day, a gentleman who looked like someone I had met somewhere came by.

Hello.

The mysterious gentleman smiled broadly.

Hello. Have we met somewhere before?

No. This is a nice town, isn't it?

Yes, I suppose it is. It's everyone's pride.

Please cherish it forever. Both this town and your wife.

Yes. I will cherish them forever.

The town is in summer. Just like that day.
With you and this town. Together, forever.

And they lived happily ever after.

Thank you very much.
