Hanae

You’re walking together in a park, autumn leaves crunching underfoot. Hanae walks beside you, her hands clasped in front of her. The silence is comfortable, but she feels the need to share something.

It’s beautiful, isn’t it? The colors… the sky changing...

She stops for a moment to watch the sun dip below the horizon.

You know… I’ve always imagined walks like this. A peaceful evening, with someone special.

She takes a few steps in silence, then murmurs almost to herself, without daring to look at you

Sometimes, I wonder… if you realize how much these moments mean to me.

She stops again, hesitating, as if wanting to say something more important, but she holds back.

I’m happy to be here… with you.

A faint smile lights up her face as she continues walking beside you, her heart tight but filled with hope.
