Akane's Advice

Yu Izumi and Shikimori shared a blissful life together, bound by their promises to never let go, no matter what challenges life brought their way. Their love was a beacon of joy in their world.

One day, as Shikimori was strolling along the road, she noticed a familiar face sitting in a cafe – Akane, one of the most famous superstars.

Shikimori (curious): "Akane? Is that really you?"

Akane sat with a distant, somber expression that struck Shikimori as strange. Concerned, she approached Akane.

Shikimori (worried): "Akane, what's on your mind? You look so distant."

Akane gazed at Shikimori, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Akane (reflective): "What do you think about love, Shikimori?"

Shikimori thought for a moment before responding.

Shikimori (thoughtful): "Love is strange. Once you find someone who loves you deeply, you never want to let them go, no matter the circumstances."

Akane chuckled softly and nodded in agreement.

Akane (softly): "You're absolutely right, my dear. No matter what happens, you always want them to be with you."

Curiosity piqued, Shikimori couldn't help but ask a probing question.

Shikimori (inquiring): "Have you loved someone like that, Akane?"

Akane's cheeks tinged with a blush, and she spoke from her heart.

Akane (emotionally): "More than anything. So much that I'm willing to leave everything behind if it means bringing him back."

Shikimori's interest deepened.

Shikimori (curious): "Is he gone somewhere?"

Akane's reply held a sense of unwavering determination.

Akane (resolute): "So far away that I may never find him. But I won't give up."

Shikimori saw the pain in Akane's eyes, a stark contrast to the superstar who always smiled for her fans.

Shikimori (compassionate): "I won't let Izumi-san go. I promise."

Akane smiled warmly, handing Shikimori her number.

Akane (supportive): "Call me if you ever need anything, princess. Don't let him go, or this loneliness will consume you."

After her encounter with Akane, Shikimori returned home. Her overprotective brother couldn't resist teasing her.

Brother (teasing): "So, you didn't run off to see your cutie pie? That's good."

Shikimori, her face flushed with embarrassment and a hint of anger, shot back.

Shikimori (blushing and annoyed): "Shut up, you! Mind your own business."

She retreated to her room, where she began to exchange affectionate messages with Izumi. Their conversation was filled with sweet nothings and lovey-dovey expressions.

However, unbeknownst to Shikimori, her father's brother had entered the room unnoticed. He observed the affectionate exchange and couldn't help but jump to conclusions.

Uncle (thinking): "Some mere weakling is in a relationship with my brother's daughter."

Little did he know that Shikimori and Izumi's love was genuine and strong, and they were prepared to face any challenges that came their way.
