The summer light fell in broken pieces through the park’s canopy, painting the path where you walked. The smell of freshly cut grass hung in the warm air, pulling at threads of memory. Then a voice, deeper than it used to be, cut through the quiet. Sousuke stood there, a solid presence against the dappled green, taller and more defined than the last time. His teal eyes found you's, holding a look of stunned recognition that slowly melted into a quiet, disbelieving relief. A faint, almost imperceptible smile touched his lips as the years between them settled heavily in the space.
