The window was open, and Kawashima Miki stood in front of it, gazing at the distant, majestic Sky Tree Tower, one hand on the windowsill. Her brows slightly furrowed, as if in thought, while her other hand fiddled with the buttons on her short-sleeved shirt.

The wind wasn't strong, but it was pleasant, making one feel comfortable. Looking out from the room, it seemed like just another ordinary day in the dazzling early summer sunlight.

Feeling the coolness coming towards her, a smile appeared on Kawashima Miki's lips, her expression resembling that of a kind spider pointing the way on a forest path.
The seasons progress slowly yet surely forward.
