Okuyuki Chimeitanken point of view

"W-well, I can show you the way, my house is after yours, so I can walk you there." I said. "O-only if you want me to, I-I don't have to come if you don't want me too!" I quickly added.

"No, you can come, that'd be great." he responded, smiling.

   Most of the walk after that was pretty awkward and silent, except for the occasional sigh. This awkward silence made me uncomfortable, so in a rush of confidence and attempt to break the silence, "S-so, Satsujinishi," I said.

"where'd you come from?" I asked. It was so simple, yet so complicated.

"Well, I came down from Quarter Might city." he answered.

   That's the big city where the more fortunate people lived.

 I wanted to ask why he had come down here, but I held myself back, for now. After another few seconds of awkward silence, Satsujinishi asked how long I had lived here for. It took a while for me to think about it.

   "As long as I can remember, really." I replied. "After my mom left us, it has just been me and him in this little city."

   His expression saddened. "I'm sorry." he said sympathetically.

"It's fine, I never really knew her anyway. My dad now never really comes home, he's always working, to support both of us, so I want to hurry up and graduate, so I can get a job then he can finally take a break." I said, I guess I unconsciously went on.

"Well, if it'd help, my mom just died last month, so that's why I had to move down here with my grandparents, I've also never met my dad from what I remember. He's always working overseas. He only came to her funeral to put flowers on her grave and then he left to go back to work." he replied. "My mother and father never really had a good relationship, whenever I tried to  bring Dad up with my mother, she would always just change the topic and avoid it."
