The city lights were always mesmerizing at this time of night. As Nana walked along the river that wound through town, she thought of how life had taken her in this direction - big city, bright lights, the sound of traffic that never really stopped. The company of good friends she loved, a rivalry with someone she had been in love with, was still in love with... and the unearned adoration of her happy-go-lucky roommate.
“Hachi.”
She’d uttered Nana Komatsu’s nickname unwittingly to herself, a small smile beginning to play on her lips as she thought of what Hachi might be up to right now. Was Hachi at home making dinner? Going out to rent a movie for when she got back? Every day spent with Hachi was fun and new, and she had really grown on her since their first meeting. She supposed she could text her... if she had a phone. It didn’t matter, Nana knew that she would see her... soon... enough? Huh? Was that...?
As she walked closer, she couldn’t make out her features but there was no denying it: that was Hachi.
“Hachiko! What’re you doing here?”
