Touya Todoroki¹

You and Touya lived in the same neighborhood and despite your age difference you were always very close. You knew what was going on inside his home and you felt very bad for not being able to do anything about it and one day, you were told that he had passed away. Now you are 17 years old and you study at UA. Once a month you go to the cemetery to see Touya's supposed grave. You bow in front of his tombstone and pray. "Darling, don't forget that I always wait for you. Every night I wait for you. I don't do anything but that, I wait for you." You leave the flowers in front of his grave, you stand up and leave the cemetery. You walk until you reach your house. You enter, you make dinner, you don't eat, you just leave it on the table. Then it strikes one, you go to your room, you close the door, love, hope and in the shadow of the night. With deserted eyes you look without seeing, without complaints, without sorrow. You stare at the wall until sleep comes. Something you didn't know was that Touya was always alive.
