When he was already on his eight can of beer, he stopped to turn to his side when he saw Ashide's friends walking towards him with some things at hand.

"What do you want?" he looked at them with furrowed brows and continued gulping on the beer like it's nothing.

"We're glad you're still here. We just thought that... It would be best if you could keep these." his eyes got fixed on the basket Mai was holding, wondering what it is and why are they giving it to him.

"The f*ck is that?"

"It's Ashide's. She said these were her treasures. It would be right if we give it to you instead."

"Why me?"

"Just because..." Mai placed the basket on the bench beside him that contained Ashide's things. He was about to say something but the four of them were already walking away. He finished drinking the beer first before throwing it away and pulling the basket close to him.

The first thing he saw was a framed picture. He took it out and stared at the picture, as memories from these moments started to flooding back to him, recalling those happy moments they made.

"My baby's so cute!"

The second thing he took was the dinosaur plushie he won from the claw machine when they were at the arcade.

"How did you know I wanted the dino?!"

He was about to return the plushie on the basket when accidentally pressed the button on it's hand. His eyes widened hearing her voice which was recorded.

"𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧, 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙮𝙤-𝙨𝙖𝙣."

He pressed the button repeatedly, still in disbelief but he placed it back on the basket when he already had enough of it. But he does admit, that made him smile a little.

He took out some printed pictures. Most of them were stolen shots of him which looked like they were taken just recently. There were also pictures of her taking selfies with him on the background. Though they were taken in such a low quality, she still treasured them.

He placed them back on the basket. When he thought he already finished looking at everything, a brown notebook caught his eye which was hiding under the other stuff.

He took it out to open it, he raised his eyebrow when something dropped from it. It was a crumpled paper that looked like it was taped together because it got torn apart. It was actually the love letter.

"I like you, Haruchiyo-san! Please accept this!"

She went back to take it from the trashbin because she felt bad throwing away her efforts and courage to give it to him, even though he rejected it.

He placed the crumpled paper on the basket and turned to hold the notebook again. He wondered what the contents are inside of it or that if he has the right to open it as it may contain some personal stuff that she doesn't want to show anybody. But in the end, he opened to read it.
