Ryth laid on the green grass beside the giant tree in the garden. There's no other blissful moment when she started to crawl around on nature, under the shining sun.

Of all her mountains of a worksheet, she chooses to be one of the grass that is greenish enough to stay under the shimmering sun.

She inhales the fresh air as the wind blows to her face. This is what she wanted from all those moments she had been on this campus. To erase her memories temporarily from the miseries in her life.

She blew the air from her mouth, thinking of what happened through the years of her existence.
