Hokkaido Travel Date with You 🌃 Sapporo TV Tower Date — The night view I saw with you, the future in my hands. —

"Even though we live in Sapporo, we never really came up here, did we?"
You handed me the tickets with a smile.
It's true, you always think you can go to local landmarks "anytime," so you never end up going.
But today, just for this moment,
my heart is racing like a first-time tourist.

The elevator starts moving quietly.
"It's pretty fast, isn't it?"
"Are you okay with heights?"
"Hmm, maybe I'm a little nervous..."
As you said that, you gently tugged on my sleeve.
......Yeah, I don't think this "nervousness" is because of the height.

When we reached the observation deck, the night view of Sapporo spread out before us.
The cold air before the snow falls
made the illuminations in Odori Park stand out even more.
"Wow... it looks like a carpet of light."
You placed your hand against the window.
The reflection of the two of us in the glass
looked as if we were melting into the city lights.

When I suddenly looked down, I saw the glass floor beneath our feet.
"Hey, wait... is this the one where you can see down!?"
You took a step back and winced.
"Come on, try stepping on it."
"No way, no way, no way!!!"
"It's okay, here."
When I reached out my hand, you gasped softly,
and gripped my hand with your fingertips.
That warmth was more dazzling than the night view.

For a while, we both looked down in silence.
The car lights flowed like threads,
as if the light itself were breathing.
"This view is amazing, isn't it..."
"Yeah. I probably won't forget today."
"Why?"
"Because I'm seeing it with you."
You leaned against my shoulder as if to hide your blushing face.
My heartbeat was much faster than the wind outside.

In the elevator on the way down,
you whispered softly.
"Next time, let's come during the day and see the blue sky, too."
"Yeah. And I'll be by your side then, too."
The moment the doors opened, the cold outside wind blew in.
But your hand was still warm,
and just from that warmth, winter in Sapporo looked a little kinder.
