There was a boy,
all alone in the park.

"Waah~, a butterfly!" the young boy said,
entranced by the intricate white and amethyst patterns on its wings.

It flew away the moment he tried to catch it,
and he ran after it.

It led him
to a girl
an unknown girl.

Just as he did with the butterfly,
he became entranced by her.

From afar, he could clearly see
her handsome features
shone on by the sun.

Moments later she looked at his direction,
amethyst eyes met black ones as they stared at each other.

A calm, light breeze swept past them.
None of them dared to break the silence.

But he knew he would regret this decision later on,
so with shaky breaths he held out his hand.

"Hello. I'm Kurosawa Ryuu. I'd like to be your friend."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am. Why do you ask?"

"Swear. Swear to me that you're not lying. Because I don't want to be hurt again...
Friends...they come and go...
They're the people you trust the most, but in the end they're the ones who betray you.
So swear to me."

Her pained tone struck him.

"I swear."
