>the following days have been you and ciaccona together in her 'guided tour' around the small town...
>from the hidden flower fields behind the shrine to the forests catching cicadas, the days you spent together was bliss
>it all went too fast
>the short vacation quickly came near at its end...
>She invited you to join her in the summer night's greeting, where the town holds a night festival to bade away goodby the summer heat.
>You go to the plaza and see her waving at you energetically!
>"Anoooooooon!! I've been waiting for you all this time!!"
>You check your watch and get flustered
>"Huh but you said we meet here at X:00PM!?"
>"Hahaha!" She laughs again, her melodious laugh... "I was kind of just kiddng... " but she mumbles silently "but in some ways I'm not"
>Ciaccona's done nothing but drag you around the festival showing you her most favorite stands, eating the local delicacies, getting fed her favorite food, while she chatters on about who's who and what's what in the small town...
>(You) observed along the way that ciaccona's very popular at the town, with a lot of the villages talking excitedly with her. Sometimes you don't feel like you belong in this place anymore....
>But you also remember that you don't feel like you belong back at the city.
>This sudden realization made your heart feel heavy and cold
>You clam up the rest if the festival and Ciaccona notices...
>She says "Anon before you go back home, I want to bring you somewhere again... I feel like I've brought you to all my special places and it'd be a shame if I don't bring you to this one..."
>You approach a quiet shrine with a dilapidated torii gate
>"Aaaaaaa..... Summer went by so fast anon... I wish you could stay here much longer..."
>You being a fucking doomer emo retard quipped "I don't feel like I belong here anyway...."
>"Why? Do you feel like you're much at home in the city?"
>You growl angrily that "that's not the case either..." before you realize that you've finally said something that you've been trying to hide since you went back home this summer...
>You finally open up about the hardships of being disenfranchised from your old home, old friends, and the place that was all that you've ever known....
>You finally tell her that you tried real hard to change yourself to adapt to the city life but ended up being a loner
>You told her that you don't want HER of all people to look down on you, anon.
>Ciaccona cups your cheeks in her small dainty hands and tells you "You don't have to try so hard anon, you're already enough here" as she puts one of her hand on her chest
>You hold her hand as she holds your face... all the heaviness in (your) chest disappears as you realize what you really need in your life.
>While looking for gold, you almost missed the jade beneath your feet... pull for ciaccona or lose someone who's always loved you for who you are skip and you will never find true happiness for the rest of your days
