"Hey, why are stars always far away from each other, even though they look so close from here?"

Akane looks weirdly at him but answered, "Well, stars are born at different parts in the universe so it's not uncommon for them to be far away from each other."

"That means a star could be close to others but alone at the same time."

She looks at Shogo and saw that he had a melancholic expression on his face.

"But, the star won't be alone forever."

He avert his gaze from the starry night sky to her, and saw that she is looking up at the sky.

"Eventually, a star will one day be born next to that star, so it won't be lonely anymore."

After finishing her statement, she turn her head to look at him, only to find her face buried into his white shirt.

He wrapped his arms around her body and nuzzled his face into her hair.

"Thank you."

Her shocked expression soften and wrapped her arms around his body.

The two of them hugged under the Milky way with no one to witness except the twinkling constellations and the illuminating moon.
