This one happened right after

Ryo had an affair (he's my

papi), and he suddenly

disappeared from my head.

I'm walking up this steep hill

in the countryside close to my

city, towards this private

school the other four Ronins

were going to. I was actually

hoping Ryo would be there,

too, since I missed him a lot

at that moment. I wanted to

talk things over with him,

too. but, when I got up

there, I only saw the other

four. As they're walking to

class I pull on Kento's sleeve

and bring him to me.

"Kento, have you seen Ryo

lately?"

"No, I haven't, sorry."

"Oh. Well, it's been a while

and I don't see him anymore in

my dreams. I'm starting to

get worried." (yeah, I

actually hadn't been seeing

him in my dreams not as often

at the time!) Anyway, I walk

with Kento (my other papi) and

spend the whole day with him

at school. At the end of it

he's sitting down at a table

in front of a laptop, typing

up something. I’m walking

around in this orange-looking

room with drapes for walls.

At any rate, I walk behind

Kento and wrap my arms around

his neck and ask, "Whatcha

doin'?"

"Homework."

"Oh, ok. Kento, do you think

I'll ever find Ryo again?"

"Do you still love him?"

"Yeah, of course." He gives

me a gentle smile.

"Then he'll come back, just

you wait." Guess what! He

did!
