"That was amazing!"
Akari sounded genuinely delighted as she walked beside Noah through a nearby park, her hand still resting comfortably in his.
"Watching a movie in a theater is so much fun!"
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Noah smiled. "We can watch another one sometime."
"Heeh? I'm looking forward to that!"
She gave his hand a gentle squeeze.
They continued walking along the park's pathway, enjoying the evening breeze.
RUMBLE!
A deep rumble rolled across the sky.
Both of them looked upward.
Dark clouds had gathered overhead, and a flash of lightning briefly illuminated the sky.
"Looks like a storm is approaching," Noah remarked.
Akari glanced at him with a playful smile.
"This reminds me of you. The dragon of lightning and storms."
"Hehe. So you'll think of me whenever you see cloudy skies?"
"Of course. Actually, I miss you even when there's no particular reason."
"I-Is that so...?"
Akari's voice grew noticeably quieter.
