Taki was alone in his room. The boy was sitting on his desk, and seemed to be writing. In front of him, there was a big board where he hung his sketches and drawings, mostly of buildings, although there were also some of sceneries. Among the sketches, he also pasted some photos of him and Mitsuha on the board. All of the photos were full of stickers and their eyes were unnaturally big and sparkling in some, indicating that they were all taken in photo boxes. There was not a single one where the two were not smiling brightly. On the desk, just beside his reading lamp, was a framed picture taken in Sayaka and Tessie's wedding.

It didn't take long for Taki to finish writing something on his diary. As he put his pen down, he looked at his handwriting, smiling with flushed cheeks. If given the chance, he would probably stay like that for hours. But his phone, which was also placed on the desk, started vibrating wildly. It was a reminder of something he had to do after this.

After clicking the screen to stop the vibration, Taki took a deep breath and stood up. He didn't need to change; he had been wearing the clothes he was meant to wear for thirty minutes already. He just needed to grab his bag and slung it to his shoulder. Taking his phone from the desk, he headed toward the door, all prepared to leave.

"Oh, shoot. Almost forgot!" he murmured to himself and walked back to his desk. From his drawer, he took out a small velvet box and kept it in his front pocket. After making sure he didn't leave anything behind this time, he turned the lights off, walked out, and closed the door behind him.

He did forget one thing, though. He left his diary open. It showed the page where he had just been writing earlier. It was not even a paragraph or a group of lines that he wrote; it was just one, simple sentence, written in big letters.

Today is the day!
