Let the Stars Fall

Special Chapter 2: Kazuha, Itsuki, and Ayaka

Kazuha's POV. Takahashi Residence.

It's been a while.....

I'm currently rummaging through the old stuff here in the attic.

Back then, when the quints still used to live here.....

Kazuha: Right.....Itsuki and I were assigned to clean the attic when we were spring cleaning for the new year.

Though it wasn't as dusty back then, I thoroughly cleaned it, just in case, and went to inspect some of the stuff that was left behind there.

Some of them were Dad's stuff.

Kazuha: They're getting old now.....

Kazuha: I think it's time that we let go some of Dad's stuff from here.

Kazuha: I'm sure Mom wouldn't mind.

I sorted out the stuff that needs to be disposed of.

Once that was done I was about to take it out until I saw an album lying around.

Being curious, I picked it up, opened it and from what I saw from its pages, it immediately brought back memories.

Kazuha: It is sure nice to be young.....

I decided to take out the stuff outside, and then I went back to retrieve the album.

I went inside the house and I flipped through the pages of album.

One of them was a photo taken by Akane.

It was a photo of Itsuki and I during the camping trip....

When the two of us are dancing on the light of the campfire.

Kazuha: Hmm.....

Kazuha: The legend of the campfire, huh.....

I really didn't believe in that stuff.

The person you danced or held hands with during the campfire will be the love of your life.

That is how it went.

However, I believe that it will depend on whatever happens after that.....

Looking at it now....

Itsuki and I went through a lot.

Happiness, sorrow, pain, love......

Throughout my high school days....I experienced those.

And.....throughout that journey....

From the very beginning until now....

Itsuki was always the one who always stayed by my side.

???: Dad?

I was cut off from reminiscing the past when I heard the voice of my daughter, Ayaka.
