In the wake of Saya's revelation about her upcoming wedding and departure, Yuki couldn't contain the whirlwind of emotions stirring within her. As the evening light cast long shadows across the room, she found herself standing at the door, feeling a mixture of sadness and curiosity.

Maik's gentle words had encouraged her to speak with Saya, and it was an opportunity she couldn't let slip away. Yuki took a deep breath and walked over to where Saya was sitting.

Saya looked up at Yuki, her face a blend of warmth and sadness. She knew that Yuki had been listening to their conversation, and she welcomed the chance to talk. "Hi, Yuki. Is there something you'd like to say?"

Tears welled up in Yuki's eyes as she hesitated. Her voice quivered as she finally managed to speak. "Saya, I... I don't want you to go. You're like family to me. I don't understand why you're leaving, and it makes me sad."

Saya's eyes glistened with unshed tears, and she reached out to gently touch Yuki's cheek. "Yuki, I feel the same way. I care about you deeply, and it's not easy for me to leave either. But sometimes, life takes us in different directions, and we have to follow our hearts."

Yuki nodded, her voice barely a whisper. "I know, but I'll miss you so much. You've always been there for me, and I don't want things to change."

Saya pulled Yuki into a warm embrace, holding her close. "I'll miss you too, Yuki. You're a special and wonderful young lady, and I'll never forget the time we've spent together. But even if I'm not here with you, you'll always have Maik, who loves you very much."

Yuki clung to Saya, her tears flowing freely now. She knew that their paths were diverging, but her heartache remained. Saya comforted her, offering words of encouragement and understanding.

As they held each other, Yuki whispered, "I wish you all the happiness in the world, Saya. Please don't forget me."

Saya smiled through her own tears and replied, "I could never forget you, Yuki. You're a special part of my life, and you'll always have a place in my heart."

Their farewell was bittersweet, but it marked a new chapter in their lives. Yuki and Saya shared a bond that transcended time and distance, and they would carry the memories of their time together with them, wherever they went.
