Higo could feel his heart skip a beat when he heard that voice. It was none other than Kumiko, the girl he had been waiting for in the last couple of months. When he turned around, the boy could see the smile, the dimple, the kind eyes… Everything that he missed suddenly appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but have his eyes tear up.
Thud!
"I really… Really miss you…" Higo whispered softly, giving the girl the warmest hug he could muster.
"Uf!" Kumiko winced in surprise as she didn't expect Higo to engulf her in a bear hug the first moment he saw her. Well… In hindsight, she should've expected this, as it was also the first thing she wanted to do after meeting him in this foreign land. "I am here… I am here… Don't worry about it…" She whispered gently while also rubbing Higo's hair fondly.
