Morning feels like a slow night. Claire seemed to be reminded back with the sadness that had befallen her.
Claire lost her favorite cat. An adorable striped furry cat and always accompanies Claire at all times.
That cat to Claire is everything. Claire thought of him as more than an ordinary cat but a friend who was always by her side.
Until one morning, Claire's intention to take her cat for a walk in the city park. That day he was very happy. The cat is the source of Claire's happiness.
Intersections. Claire didn't notice the traffic lights. He thought when the streets were quiet the color of the lights had turned red for riders and green for road crossers. He was still a child at the time. He doesn't understand.
Right in the middle of the road. A heavy truck was traveling at high speed. He has violated the real terms. Heavy trucks should not go too fast.
The driver soon realized that a little girl was walking across the street. He slams the steering wheel trying to deflect the truck from hitting Claire.
But because the speed of the vehicle was too high, the truck instead of turning even fell tilted and almost hit Claire. It was Claire's beloved cat who saved her life from this deadly accident.
The cat jumped high and pushed Claire's body. The cat replaced Claire. He's the one who got hit by that heavy truck. He took his life for Claire's.
Recalling the struggle of her beloved cat that had gone without made Claire unconsciously shed her tears. Selby noticed it immediately. He immediately wiped away the trace of tears on Claire's cheek.
Patting his back slowly. Selby looks tougher now. She doesn't cry like Claire. It seemed like he had completely let go of all his sadness.
"Calm down Claire, don't cry anymore"
"I-I, just remembered the one who had left me"
Selby smiles. A smile of peace and calm the heart. Claire recalled the face of Senno she had last seen. That smile.
Claude immediately brought everything down. Here the aura feels so crowded because you have to hear people crying everywhere.
Selby and Haran leave Claire and Claude for a while. He said he would buy drinks and some snacks from a nearby convenience store.
Claire and Claude sat alone on the long bench. Claire's expression kept trying to calm down. Even though she still wants to cry. He couldn't hide it from Claude.
"You why?" Claude stared at the high ceiling of the main headquarters.
"It's okay"
"I've never seen you cry. Just tell me why?"
"I told you I only remember the one who left me" Claire kept trying to cover her tears.
Claude smiled thinly. Then he left. Claire thought maybe Claude would be gone for a while. But apparently only five minutes later he came back.
Claire was surprised that someone suddenly poured her a canned soda drink from the side. It was Claude's gift.
"Isn't this your favorite drink?"
"How do you know that?" Claire opens the can. Gulped it down a few gulps.
"From your old friend..."
"Old friend?"
"Hana, the pretty girl with the adorable face on the face of the men"
"You know Hana?!!!" Claire stood up, almost throwing Claude in the face with her can of water.
"of course. She is..."
"WHO??!! WHAT IS HE DOING WITH YOU??!!!" Claire gripped onto Claude's ape.
"He's my sugar baby"
"WHAT???!!! DON'T USE MY BEST FRIEND!!! JUST BECAUSE SHE'S ADORABLE DOESN'T MEAN SHE'S YOURS" Claire exclaims loudly to the sound of people passing by.
Claire immediately fixed her sitting position. Closer to Claude because Claire wanted to whisper something in her ear.
"Remember Claude, even if you're my partner, if you dare do anything to Hana. Your life only lasted last night" Claire whispered right in Claude's ear.
"Cla-Claire's chat. I was just kidding. I'm not that bad a person to have a sugar baby. I'm sorry.I'm sorry"
"Oh yeah? you said it yourself"
"Hm, what do you say Claude can trust???"
"Claire, this time I say the truth"
"Can you prove it?"
"I'm going to ask her to meet this afternoon. You can ask him directly, Claire"
"Good then. Take me home first. Just in the afternoon you picked me up again" Claire left Claude. His angry face disappeared.
...****************...
Selby and Haran leave Claire and Claude on purpose. They don't just go away for a while. Except long, long, long.
At first, the two wanted to go to the nearest supermarket. But Haran does not really recognize the area around here. So Selby and Haran get lost somewhere.
"Haran, you're making us lost. What if we can't go back?"
"Ah, uh, don't worry. We will definitely find a way out" Haran hesitantly chose the right turn on the crossing path.
So far all that seems to be small hills. No vehicles are passing this road. Let's not say Haran chose the wrong path again.
"Haran, aren't you going the wrong way?" Selby hesitated to see the streets.
"Come"
"You're how? if we get lost how can we go back?!!" Selby gripped Haran's upper arm.
"I'm sure this is Selby's right, take it easy" actually Haran was not sure of his own words.
A few meters ahead. In accordance with Haran's previous words. A wide open highway with many vehicles passing through it.
"Tumben are you right, Haran? hahaha~" Selby patted Haran's head.
"Yeah. Where are you going now?"
"Two hours have left the base. Claire and Claude are back. Instead of just buying food and drinks at a convenience store, what if we all had lunch at a restaurant?" selby's eyes twinkled. Signs that he is happy.
Haran as his male friend is unlikely to ruin the happiness of Selby who just lost her partner. He was only able to comply with Selby's request for lunch at a nearby restaurant from their location.
"Welcome to the restaurant Raisu Cafe', enjoy our menu. What do you want to order?" greet a servant with courtesy
"Selby" Haran turned towards Selby who was walking while looking right, left, and up.
"Ah, yes, I want chicken katsu. Just drink soda"
"Okay. chicken katsu two servings and soda drink two"
"Okay sir, please sit at the table available"
Selby and Haran turned to sit at an empty table. Close to a large glass that presents the view outside. Selby asked to sit by the big glass.
It soon rained down on the streets outside. Both two-wheeled vehicles and four-wheelers are wet. Along with the arrival of Selby and Haran's order.
The two people immediately enjoyed their respective parts. For some reason Haran ordered the same food and drinks as Selby.
"Hows it? delicious right?"
"Hm, yes" Haran was chewing the food in his mouth.
"Why did you choose the same menu as me?" Selby cut the chicken katsu on her plate.
"Ehm, because I'm confused about what to order. Your food taste is pretty good, after all. And your choice isn't bad. Just why did you choose soda as the drink?"
"Soda is Claire's favorite drink. When he doesn't eat together, I want to remember"
"Huh? it doesn't make sense"
"That's it, Haran. Continue eating"
