[ Ω ]—— A year can pass by fast for someone whose spirit doesn’t yield that easily to the cruel surroundings.

He waits for his housemate to return from work, counting the minutes almost obsessively. As the hour nears, he’s seen practically bouncing around the house. Eventually he doesn’t wait, and Hikawa doesn’t have the time to open the front door with his keys before Shouichi suddenly swings it open and ambushes him, burying his face into the man’s coat and hugging him tight.
“Hikawa-san! Do you know what day this is?”
Above them, a healthy mistletoe with bright colors has been hung.
