The sun goes up and the light enters through the curtains of Madeleine's room, it wakes him up, he looks at his phone and sees what day it is. He gets up happily because today a new scholar year just started!! He's not excited about going to class but yes about meeting new people!! And maybe finding old ones.. When he's getting ready he hears his phone buzz, it's a videocall from his mom. Of course he picks up, it's his mom after all

Grand Madeleine- Ah! My son! You look excited
Madeleine- Haha!! But of course!! I have high hopes for this year!
Madeleine's 2nd aunt- Oh dear you've been saying that every year since elementary school.
Madeleine's 1st aunt- Yeah, you're not hoping you'll see that boy again, are you?
Madeleine- Why of course I am!
Madeleine's 3rd aunt- Dear, you've been saying that every single year, you were 6 when he left, now you're 15. It's been 9 years, he said it himself! that you would never see him again!
Madeleine- No! I will! I know I'll see him again!! I have to see espresso again..
Grand Madeleine- You really like him don't you?
Madeleine- Of course I like him!!.. Wait what type of like are we talking about? You mean like or like LIKE?

They start laughing at how desperate Madeleine was to know if they meant if he liked espresso as a friend or as a crush

Grand Madeleine- Now, continue getting ready, today's your first day in highschool so don't be late!

Madeleine laughs

Madeleine- Alright mother! I'll talk to you later!

Madeleine hangs up and continues getting ready, when he's done he prays to the divine

Madeleine- My glorious divine, guide my way with your light, please bless me with safety and love through my life, and if I may ask for something else, please please bring him back to me..

He got up only to realize he was tearing up to the thought of seeing espresso again, he wouldn't give up, Madeleine prayed every single day begging to his light to see his beloved again.
