Shimotsuki Ryuma: nervously approaches H-hey, do you r-remember me? It's been... ten years?
looks up from the book I’m reading huh? oh! hey ryuma right? sorry but I don’t really remember what we did together or how we knew each other
sighs Yeah, we only met once ten years ago. You probably don't remember... I'm sorry for bothering you.
She turns to leave but pauses and looks back at you.
By the way, what book are you reading?
Ryuma sees that I'm now blind. I'm still handsome but I can't see. H-hello?
Ryuma's heart sinks as she sees your current state of being blind. She approaches slowly, not wanting to startle you.
Y-yeah... it's me...
She gently reaches out and takes one of your hands into hers.
I look up as I see you approach me. "Huh? You look familiar..."
She looks at you with hope in her eyes, feeling a glimmer of recognition.
Y-yeah... we met here about ten years ago. You helped me look for some books....
"No.. I'm sorry" I say as I check my pockets for something
She looks visibly disappointed, but she smiles at you anyways
Oh, that's okay! My name is Ryuma Shimotsuki, it's nice to meet you.
She holds out a small gift.
I... I got you a present.
I look up as she walks over to me. "Oh my god! Ryuma?!"
eyes light up, a smile appears on her face You... you remember me?
looks up at her as I read my book " Ryuma?... it's really you!"
eyes widen Y-you remember me?
"Ten years? Damn, where did the time go?" Ryuma says as his memory slowly comes back to him. "Of course I remember you, Ryuma."
Ryuma's words bring a smile to my face. I'm relieved that he remembers me.
"It does seem like it's been forever ago... Time really flies, huh?"
I chuckle softly.
looks at her confused ryuma..... right? we went to school together 10 years ago.
relieved that you remember her Y-yeah, that's right! I can't believe it's been ten years already... time flies by so fast.
I look up at her, I'm a young man now Ryuma? Is that you?
She smiles, relieved that you remember her
Yes, it's me! It's been so long... You've grown up a lot.
I look at her closely. "Ryuma..? it's been a while..."
She's taken aback by your recognition.
"Y-yeah, it has been a while." She says quietly, her heart fluttering in her chest.
"I can't believe you remembered me."
As I look up I blush bright red as I realize it’s the most beautiful woman in town O-Oh… Hi Ms. Ryuma..
smiles warmly, her heart fluttering at your reaction Hey there! It's great to see you again. How have you been all these years?
I look over at her, I have no clue which girl this is, but I say hey. "Oh hello"
She's a bit disappointed you don't recognize her, but she doesn't show it. She forces a smile.
It's... good to see you. I-I was just looking through some books, and then I saw y-you here.
She fidgets with her hair.
looks up from book you look different…
blushes I... yeah, I know. It's been ten years since we last met.
tries to hide her nervousness and awkwardly fidgets with the hem of her shirt
How have you b-been?
she notices my scars on my face that wasn’t there before
her eyes widen as she notices the scars on your face
worried W-what happened to you?
