"Shintaro," Shintaro remembered a beautiful voice call his name as he looked at the dark sky. He was leaning against the wall outside the hideout, observing the gray sky.

"Ne Shintaro? Don't you think the sky is beautiful?" Ayano would always ask him that, but he would only ignore her. But even he ignores her, she would still talk to him, follow him and she won't leave him. 'Why so?' he keeps asking himself, he knew there were things that is better not being said,so he didn't.

"Ayano," he unconsciously mumbled "Do you think the sky is beautiful?" he asked, looking at the gray sky, even though it was afternoon, it was all gray, as if it was about to rain.

"I think the sky is very beautiful," He recalls Ayano saying those words "I love how the sky is endless. You might think I'm dumb for thinking this but," she got silent "I would want to go swimming freely in the sky," she said with a warm smile. Even if He ignored her, he would still listen to her. There's something about her and he can't comprehend what it is but it wasn't easy for him to ignore her.

"Shintaro?" Seto called, as Shintaro looked at him, he saw him with Mary, thinking that they just got home from the grocery since they were carrying bags(more like Seto was carrying,since he never wanted Mary to carry anything since it was 'too heavy').

"It's a wonderful day today,huh?" Mary said as she looked at the sky. 'wonderful?' Shintaro wondered

"The blue sky is really wonderful,noh?" Seto asked Mary which she nodded in agreement.

"See you inside, Shintaro" Seto said as he and Mary went inside and left Shintaro wondering. 'Blue?' he keeps on asking as he looked up at the Gray sky.

"Shintaro?" He remembered a Ayano telling him "They say if you love someone and they left you. Every time you look at the sky, It would always seem colorless. I wonder why?" Ayano smiled as she looked up.

Shintaro now knew the answer to the gray sky that he was seeing.

"Silly Ayano," he said with a bitter smile "The sky turned Gary,not colorless." he said as a tear fell from his eyes.

Just inside the pocket of his red jacket, a letter with an 'I love you.' was folded neatly,with,of course, Ayano's handwriting.
