"Sayonara, watashi no ai." [Translation: Goodbye, my love. ]

I looked to the right and left, but the man was nowhere to be see— "Hey," someone suddenly greeted me from behind, with a light and pleasant voice, and I flinched and immediately turned around. The man with the baseball cap was standing right next to the door of the hall. "Hey," I greeted him back. Up close, I was sure his age wasn't far from Ikaros's. "Can I help you with something?" I asked. "I just wanted to ask what song was being played inside," he said, and I immediately answered, "It's Fantasia No. 4 C Minor by Mozart."

“It’s good. It’s going to be classical Japanese music mixed with pop. I think it’s called ‘Sakura Sakura.’” “What?” Sebastian snapped, turning his azure-blue eyes to Jane, his face tense. Jane was taken by surprise by his abrupt query. She swallowed nervously and said, “It’s called ‘Sakura Sakura.’” Then she had to explain further, thinking he didn’t know or understand. “The song depicts springtime, when cherry blossoms bloom, sir.” “Yes, of course. I know that,” Sebastian said. He took a deep breath then. Shit! Why was he in such a bad mood? Why was he so agitated?

My heart was in my throat. In the video, Cade's expression was unclear, but he spoke firmly and calmly, "Go hide somewhere for now. I'll deal with the police."

In the video, they were standing by the sea and watching the fireworks. Shane was carrying Arielle in his arms. He gently tucked a strand of hair behind Vera's ear when the wind blew it loose. Behind them, the sea shimmered with layers of golden light. Their laughter was clear yet distant, like something from another world. The caption read: [Fireworks bloom with happiness, lighting up the night with love.] My breath caught in my throat. That fireworks show was supposed to be for me. It was a part of the birthday trip I had planned for myself.

The hospital was dimly lit. Before I could even take off my white coat, my phone buzzed. I saw the familiar numbers flash across the screen, and I couldn't help but furrow my brow. "Dana, come to The Midnight Club, VIP Room B." The noise on the other end was a chaotic blend of laughter and voices. "Dana, bring a bottle of wine. Tonight, we drink until we drop." "Yeah, bring champagne. Let's give Rosa a proper celebration!"

Avani asks. I nod, afraid to open my mouth. Avani and Cal both chuckle, but Iniko takes my hand. “It will be okay, Brooke. I told you we could take it slow. I know this is a lot for you.” “Thanks, Kiko,” I say, using Cyrene’s nickname for him. “Careful, Cyrene might get jealous,” he says, leaning over to press a kiss to the side of my head. This time, I’m not quick enough to stop my dragon from purring.
