Ayu in “Unfinished Business”

[Yuichi goes out to try to find Ayu's headband. Ayu is thinking this.]

I loved the scenery that flew by. Winter. A city of snow. I loved running through the shopping district, leaving behind footprints. Spring. A city of melting snow. I loved picking up the snow piled beside the roots of trees. Summer. The city has forgotten how cold the snow was. I loved looking at the city through the cracks on the umbrella. Autumn. The city waiting for snow to fall. I loved catching the small snowflakes with my hands. And it's back to winter. The season of snow. The season when the entire city is white. I loved the scenery that flew by. But, like a puddle that freezes, my time has frozen. Inside this square room, where there is no change in seasons. I was always alone...while repeatedly seeing the same scenes in my dream...while viewing the endless night...But, slowly, light was starting to shine into the night.
