Uesugi Sakura woke up at 10 in the morning, and for the next half an hour stared blankly at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling above.
...
After a long time, reaching out with his right hand to the side, he felt nothing but the empty air besides the bedding.
...
She's really gone...
With his eyes wide open, Uesugi Sakura groped around for a while before finally extending his hand enough to grasp his phone at the edge.
He held the phone in front of him, pressing the power button with his thumb, and stared absentmindedly at her adorable smiling face on the wallpaper.
The screen would go dark only to be lit once again.
After another stretch of dazing off, Uesugi Sakura finally put down the phone, turned on his side, and pushed himself up from the bed.
Lazy as ever, he walked to the window where the rain was still pouring and listened to the pattering raindrops purifying the small town below the mountain.
