This was probably a cry that had always been in my heart all along. No one notices it, and even I don’t know it well. These self-centered desires of mine that look like a child’s selfishness.
Before I knew it, I made it myself. A wall in my heart, tall enough for me to hide in. A cage to hide my weakness, a shield to protect my cowardly self……
—–Look, didn’t I tell you before? That if you’re in a predicament, I can help you.
No one should have noticed it. There’s no way that it could be noticed. Yes, that’s what I thought……
—–That’s why it’s okay for you to be empty for now.
However, before I knew it, she appeared.
—–I will teach you! Things you don’t know, sights you’ve never seen, this world itself!
She stepped into the depths of my heart as if it’s natural, as if to say that there has never been a wall in my heart right from the start.
—–where you—- are the protagonist of this story!
And then, as if it were natural, she reached out her hand to the crouching me.

—–Mhmm, if you won’t talk with me like you usually do, I won’t like it.
Being pushed around sometimes like a friend do……
—–I think it’s really cool that a child can naturally do that.
And sometimes, encouraging me like a lover do……
—–It’s alright. I would be here with you……
And sometimes, she was like a mother to me, giving me the words that I wanted to hear.
It’s as if she could say that she knows everything about me, she was boisterous, warm, innocent, and kind…… She would always give me the smile I wanted most.
Embracing my indecisive thoughts, she picked up the broken pieces of my heart and gently pushed it back to my body.
Ah, I see—- so that’s how it is. I may have finally figured it out. The thing I wanted—- The thing that I’ve always been looking for—–
My consciousness slowly awakens from my pleasant slumber. As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was a pair of gentle eyes staring at me.

[……Kuro?]
[Good morning, Kaito-kun.]
[Good morning…… How long have I been sleeping?]
[An hour or so?]
[I see.]
Slowly, I sit up. Strangely, I felt light, as if something that had been weighing down on my body disappeared.
[You look kind of refreshed huh.]
[……Ahh, yeah. Well, how should I say this……]
I honestly didn’t have an answer for what I wanted to do nor what I wanted to happen.
I just had the thought in my head that I should stop crouching down in place.

[I think I want to do my best on various stuff again.]
[I see…… Then, I will be rooting for you. Do your best, Kaito-kun!]
[Yeah, thanks.]
I still don’t know a lot about this world and myself…… but the circumstances have finally changed. It’s about time for me to start walking too.
Yes, let’s start with self-discovery or whatever they call it. I’m a little nervous and afraid, but I think it’ll be alright. Because I’ve received the courage to start walking. Just like Kuro said, let’s start again here, in this world.
The thing I once closed myself off. The story of the one named Miyama Kaito……
Dropping this chapter off. No chapter on Saturday, will return on monday.
