After weeks of waiting for Agate to show up, Arima received a strange message from her virtual friend - ag4t3. She stated that she had something to confess to Arima.

"Could it be her?" Arima had to accept that ag4t3, the person she had been confiding in all this time, could be Agate. Unfortunately, it was really her.

ag4t3: At least I saw you one last time. I had been standing outside watching you for two lessons that morning. I'm sorry that I have to leave. You didn't go to school the day our teacher announced my transfer. I wanted to tell you this during the last time we had blueberry ice cream together... But that day was the first time I saw you smile. I didn't want to destroy it... I'm sorry... but can you wait for me to come back?

Arima: ...

Arima's feelings at that moment bewildered her, making her not know how to react. Thus, she could only stay silent and say nothing. She pretended not to care again! Yet Arima did not know how her silence made Agate exhausted and hurt.

Arima: It's almost been a year since we've had a chat. Wondering what's been going on in my mind? I've thought about you a lot... When you come back to see me, I'll greet you with a smile, just like always. Consider this my promise. It's your birthday today, too. So, please listen to the song 'Lost In Love'. Happy birthday!

"The distance between two hearts doesn't mean they can't love each other."

Arima posted that quote on her blog before closing her blog. Although time kept flying, she still held onto her unwavering belief that Agate would eventually return. Even though many seasons have passed, Arima still waited alone and austerely...
