Summary
It's a stressful time of year, and Aira is reminded of that as he wanders down the shopping centre. There are lone shoppers, sure, but there are just as many groups of what he assumes are friends or lovers. He walks past a pair of friends, still in school uniform, just outside the idol merch store he used to visit with Kohaku.
Aira wonders if that's what they looked like back then. Maybe in a different world, if they'd met normally.
It's like that for a while, though. The Japanese sweets shop near the entrance, the overpriced carp print Kohaku'd pointed out once, the traditional crafts stall further down the hall, the café down the way—because Kohaku is everywhere, even when he's not here.
