A deep sigh escaped from Tooru’s lips. Once again he had found himself sitting alone on a bench while eating his hamburger. After finishing his meal, Tooru then stood up to throw his trash away, deciding to go for a walk.
Walking near the coast, the young man took his phone out, put on his earphones and started scrolling, searching for a song to listen to. While classic rock was his favourite genre, he also enjoyed listening to synth-pop.
Girl, forget your name tonight
Tooru loved walking by the coast. He loved seeing the sea full of life. The day was perfect, after weeks of begging his boss to have a day off, Tooru finally got what he wanted. After all, today was a special day. After being separated for month, they were finally going to be reunited.
And your world, you know your world was never right
While he was walking, he saw a child and his mother contemplating the sea together. Huh, both of them seem to be happy, thought the young man. Tooru never really had someone close to him during his childhood, his parents abandoned him for unknown reasons. It was his grandfather who took the responsibility and raised him. Even if his grandpa loved him, Tooru didn't feel any love towards him or, well, towards anyone. He developed some antisocial tendencies as the result of his first years of his life being defined by solitude. That was… until the day he met this boy.
Leave your mirror memories behind
Who would have thought that a simple encounter at the hospital would've changed his life?
Just bring only what you came here to find
Already 3pm?! I need to hurry up, I want to be there, for him, thought the young man.
So you can kiss your cell and key into the grave
The port of Morioh was quite big, it was mostly used by cargo ships, but others like tourists and fishermen still used the port. Despite being a man of the land, Tooru actually enjoyed the idea of spending his time in the sea, maybe he could become a marine doctor? As he walked on the port’s dock, he saw a large ship approaching the coast. There he was, waving at him. As the ship approached, both of them were smiling and waving at each other, impatiently waiting for the ramp to come down. When it did, they both ran towards each other.
So you might live like you will die some other day
“Josuke, you're finally home I missed you…” said Tooru as he hugged the sailor. Josuke wrapped his arms around Tooru. Josuke’s hand rested on Tooru’s neck and cheek, their lips met each other as they felt the lovely sea breeze.
“I missed you too, Tooru”
And be home
