Story
Suddenly, the scenery outside the window changed. My vision was filled with the sprawling ocean.

The wind changes... so much so that I can sense the scent of the tide even through the window. The train runs parallel to the ocean, and the train car is filled with cheers of anticipation. Many colors of parasols, rows of cars, and people playing in the sea. The scenery flows by, and I let out a sigh.
.........I came back...... to this city.
Sunrays beating down on me, I block them with my hand and start to walk. I want to see the ocean...... Naturally, my feet speed up. The roar of the waves gets louder, and the breeze from the ocean drives away the heat. Anticipation swelling in my chest, I went to the embankment.
This is the only time of year when the resort spot is crowded with people. I didn't feel nostalgic. But, I was moved by the size of the ocean and the comfort of the breeze.
A gust of wind shook my hair and tickled the bottom of my neck. I shrugged my ticklish neck, almost letting out a laugh, and I turned back to look at the city.
I lived here until a while ago......
Now, the house I lived in is no longer there. I took out the note that my parents had written for me. They wrote down the place where I would be helping out from now on. Ah...... Stuck to the note, my passcase fell out of my pouch. I hurriedly pick it up, and brush the dirt off. In it is a photo taken at the school I used to go to. Me and another boy...... a photo of 2 people getting along well.
I wonder what he's doing now......
No matter how much I stared at the photo there was no answer. As I put my passcase back into my pouch, I confirm the address on the note. Using the road sign as a clue, I pulled my bag on wheels and started walking.
2nd street is...... Even after walking for a while, I couldn't find the place written in the note. I worried which way was north, and when I looked down at the note again.........
"Kya-!?"
I wasn't looking ahead and bumped into someone. When I hurriedly lowered my head, the boy had a strange expression on his face......
"Wait...... You're......" "......Eh........."
He called out my name.
And smiled just like in the picture...... I...... found him.
