"Long time no see," I whisper as I head out from the train station, pulling my suitcase with my left hand. As I begin to walk down the street, I look at the city that hasn't changed a lot since I left.

It has been three years since I left for Kobe after graduating from high school, but Ikebukuro is still crowded as ever. What a usual view.

Where should I go first? I begin to stroll the street, passing through the crowds, some new restaurants, and some old shops that I had seen from a long time ago. Eventually, I end up at the east park, filled with young people hanging out there. This place is still loved by students.

Ah, I miss this place so much. So many emotions well me up as I stepped inside the park. I search for a nearby bench and sit in there, staring at people's activities around me.

I wonder where are my old friends now. How are they doing right now? I've lost contact with them ever since I ran from this town without saying a proper goodbye. I remember I was eager to leave this town as soon as possible. It's all because of one person that changed my whole life.

Talking about this person, I hope I won't meet him here even though I really want to see his face. I'm curious about him right now. Does he still do the same things as he did in high school? Is he still the same person as I know? What is he like right now?
A lot of questions appear on my mind. I can be killed by this curiosity.

Suddenly, I feel someone sit beside me. I have a strange feeling about this stranger.

"Hello, Keiko-chan." I lift off my lips edge. His voice remains the same as I can remember. I don't need to turn to know he staring at me with his red auburn eyes. He probably still has his sly smile like the usual. 

He still hasn't changed at all.

I smiled. "Hello, Izaya-kun," I mentioned his name finally after three years.

"It's been a long time, Keiko-chan," Izaya says.

I widen up my smile.

Yeah, it's been a long time as well, my former best friend.
