It has been two days since your training. It was hard to get the recent events out of your head, so to cool down, you spent your days inside. Well, that's what you did most of the time anyway.

It was currently 9am, yet you were still laying in bed, scrolling through your phone. You suddenly came across a group photo from high school in your gallery that included you, and your friends: Kaeya, Mona, Keqing, Venti, Yoimiya, and Childe. The seven of you got along really well back then, and that's still the case now.

Upon closer inspection you noticed someone in the background. In order for you to see who it is, you had to zoom in, until you got a pixelated picture. Surprisingly, it was just enough for you to make out who it is. It was Kazuha reading a book, while a person was talking to him. Who could that be...

Oh, that's right! It was Tomo. Kazuha was closer with him than with anyone else. Sure, your friendship with him was still very valuable, but no one understood him as well as Tomo. Sadly, during the second semester of our senior year, he moved out of country with his parents, leaving the calm boy here.

I don't know if they still keep in touch... They were almost like brothers, so surely they do. Right?

You couldn't spare any more time to think about it, because you started to recieve notifications repeatedly from your groupchat.

Well, wonderful. At least you won't be sitting inside all day. You liked chilling in your apartment, but knew that it didn't do any good if you didn't go out. That's why you've been trying to be more active lately. Speaking of which, it would be time to get dressed now.

• • •

Eating breakfast was refreshing, you were a bit hungry by now anyways. Well then what to do? You weren't in the mood for TV or social media, so... you just decided you'll take a walk outside.

You got dressed once again, then headed out. You didn't have a particular destination in mind, so you just started going wherever the road took you. Soon enough, you somehow found yourself at the park.

There weren't many people currently because of the slightly bad weather, so many benches were free. You sat down close to a little pond, under a tree, then plugged your ears in, and started listening to music.

Wish you could've enjoyed it more, because your chilling session was interrupted by someone falling over the bench from behind.

"What the heck?!" you got up surprisedly. "Itto? What the hell are you doing? Are you okay?" you asked, immediately recognizing him. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine, don't sweat it." he got up from the ground, dusting his clothes off.

"What happened?" you gave him a concerned face. "Well, little lad, I might've pissed Shinobu off. We came out here together, we both sat down to have a lil' chat, y'know. Then, she was doing something on her phone, and while laughing, I smacked it out of her hand, it fell, and the screen cracked." the tall man explained everything.

"Ah... and that made you not notice a literal bench and fall over it?"

"Um.. I was looking behind me to see if she was chasing me and didn't notice it was here.." he scratched the back of his head. "She's chasing you?" you questioned.

"Yes! ...well, maybe... I dunno." Itto said, unsure of how Shinobu reacted. "I wasn't planning on chasing you!" you suddenly heard a voice from behind. "Don't run away, I won't do anything. Please. You already caused enough ruckus around here."

"Shinobu!" the male spoke up a little too loud at the sight of the girl. "Like I said, please stop running away, I'm not gonna do anything." she started shaking his head.

"Oh..." the taller one gave her a surprised face. "You're gonna have to pay me back though! Actually... I'll make an exception, just because you are a special case, you only have to pay half of what it's worth back." the girl stated.

"Shinobu, you're too kind..." you looked at her, and she just shrugged her shoulders as a response. "Thank you so much for sparing me!" he clasped his hands together. "Also, y/n! While you're here. Did you happen to keep in touch with Yoimiya and Kaeya from back then?" Itto suddenly asked.

"Yes, we have a groupchat that they are also included in. There's also Mona, Keqing, Venti, Yoimiya... and uh, who else... oh, Childe!" you slowly listed all the people in there.

"Yoimiya, huh... She's an extremely kind girl. We talked a bit back then." The male's friend spoke up. "If you guys give me your contacts I can put you both in the groupchat, if you're interested." you offered.

"Sure, that'd be great!" Shinobu exclaimed happily. "When I get home, I'll be sure to do it as soon as possible." you showed them a smile.

In the end, you didn't really get to relax outside, but instead, you got to reunite with some people you knew from back then. You were wondering if Childe will invite them as well and if he will, how tomorrow night will turn out...

I ended up having inspiration to write this quickly, but my statement still stands from the last chapter, I might not be able to always do this.

I appreciate the patience from everyone! :D
