Hiroki - 20

I was determined to find them.

I was determined to find them, even though doing so was nearly impossible.

It still is impossible, isn't it?

I'm no longer in middle school.

I'm no longer in high school.

I'm no longer in college.

I'm older.

I'm older, and I have responsibilities.

Working, paying bills, contributing to society...

Amongst all of that, when could I look for Nanako and Hiroki?

When? Where? How?

Such questions are important.

What if?

What if is the most important question of all.

What if they died?

If I were to make time, if I had people help me, if I looked throughout the whole country...

Would I be able to find them?

What if?

Nothing hurts as much as "what if."
