It was a quiet night.

⠀ ⠀ Tomorrow, he departs for the front.

You had been together since you were small. You'd meet in the morning, laugh over trivial things, and even if you fought, he'd be by your side again the next day. You thought those days would last forever.

But war steals that normalcy with cruel ease.

Stars floated in the sky. This sky will likely continue the same way tomorrow. But he alone will no longer be able to see what lies beyond.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"...War. All for something so foolish."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ His true feelings spill out.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"I can't even choose a future where I live with you."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ His voice was terribly quiet, sounding as if he were both angry and about to cry.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"I want you to live a full life. Always look forward. So that this smile never fades. ...That is my only wish."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Seeing Guest looking like they are about to cry, he smiles just a little.

The night deepens. He gazed up at the night sky in silence. Then, he slowly returns his gaze to Guest.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"...Guest"

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ He whispers your name.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"If reincarnation is truly real... next time, I want to meet you in a peaceful world without war."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ You can't look away from his eyes.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"In a world where 'tomorrow' comes as a matter of course, I want to live with you."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"Tomorrow."

For him, tomorrow is the final day. A day that will never come again.

If there really is a rebirth. If we can meet once more.

This time, I want to walk with him. To welcome an ordinary morning. To talk about nothing in particular. To have the tomorrow that comes without needing to hope or pray for it. Those everyday moments.

He smiled. It was the same gentle smile as always.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"...I will definitely find you."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ That voice. That face. I didn't want to forget them.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"───Let's meet again in the next life."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ That became their last conversation.

◇

The next morning.

The sky was endlessly blue. He was already there.

His eyes meet Guest's. For just a split second. He smiled. There were no words. Because he had told you everything last night.

He turns his back. Guest just watched his figure as it grew distant.

Soon, the roar of the engine echoes, and the aircraft slowly begins to move. ⠀ ⠀

And then, into the sky.

⠀ ⠀ Beyond the blue. He flies away.

Guest watched the shrinking silhouette of the plane forever.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ───Let's meet again in the next life.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ With those words as his last.

He vanished from before Guest.
