"This is……"
Where is it?
Memories are cloudy.
It must be because of my old dreams.
Memories of about a year spent with Alicia in her body.
"It's been over ten years since..."
In retrospect, a lot has happened since then.
I almost broke my heart many times, but everyone supported me and managed to do it so far.
And then I remember.
Right now, I'm walking from my home, about an hour away, in a seawater bath - a place where I came back from different worlds.
"So I guess I had that dream"
Lower your gaze while lying on the beach bed and the sea enters your sight.
Unlike then, the sandy beach in front was dotted with colorful parasols and tents, crowded by many people.
"Again, I didn't think you'd make it here."
A girl talks to me from the side.
"I've been here a few times before."
"Still…………"
Her little hand is squeezed tightly on her chest.
Long silver hair stretched smoothly from the straw hat.
"... finally, I was able to live up to my promise"
"Yeah."
It's a promise that there's no other love.
But an important promise for us.
"I am a happy man...... I have always been happy. But that made me feel terrible for you. Don't you regret it?
"No way."
I denied it without getting lost.
It's true that a lot of things really went wrong... but I don't regret it at all.
――
There is a voice calling us from the coast. I woke up and waved to respond.
I get up and turn back to her.
"…… Shall we go?"
"Ha!"
Walk out side by side.
With the same gaze as her, but looking at a slightly different world.
There was something that changed or I lost.
But there's more to it than that.
The dazzling light was illuminating us.
Into the sea.
