The night dawned and the sun proceeded to usher in a new year.

Sleeve through your first uniform in a long time, bag your shoulders and head to the front door.

The front door is decorated with a single photo stand.

I was put down to show my mother, and my sister a picture, so that they could see it in my eyes every day on the doorstep, if you liked it.

Point your gaze at that picture.

A boy with a radiant smile, and a girl who looks at him sideways beside him.

Three people lined up in front of the two, and the girls on both sides held onto the gift in their hands looking precious and gazed at the camera.

And this is how I looked back and looked at the boy sitting in the center, who still had the hardness in his expression.

I can't laugh, but it's not a crop.

I know because it's my face, poor pure emotional expression.

I didn't know I had to look at this picture every day and feel a little embarrassed about myself.

But I'm the same person who likes the picture itself, so I accepted the status quo without complaining.

When I finish switching to outer wear at the doorstep, I think looking back at the pictures for just a moment and thinking about that.

"Okay, I'm coming."

"Go away, Mommy's gonna miss you so much she's gonna die without you, so come back soon after school -"

Not worthy of age, not ashamed, closes the front door without hearing the last words of her mother, who cries and leaves a trick floating to show off.

The New Year's wind is still cold, gently raising the muffler at the neck to near the mouth.

When I got out to the road, the face I had already seen looked at this one.

That number is four.

I looked at them and a slight smile spilled over my hidden mouth.

Confirm yourself and walk closer to the girls who wave with joy.

... you guys, the house is in the opposite direction to me or something, right?

As a matter of course, even though I doubt a few people who are blending into the school landscape, I assume that it is the iron rule that should not be allowed to penetrate in this case.

... No, it would definitely be a hassle twice.

With that in mind, I walked over to them and spent my first school day visiting them in a new year.
