Maki's favourite time of day was sunset. Late evening, when the long last rays of orange arched across the sky. When Tegoshi saw her on top of the hill, just standing and watching the sun go down over the water, something about the image stopped him in his tracks. Her silluette against the sky, skirt barely moving in the wind. He forgot the message he was supposed to take there, and just stood watching her as she watched the sunset, until the sky turned blue and purple and the streetlamps came on one by one.
As the last light faded from the sky, Maki finally turned and stopped, when she caught sight of Tegoshi, standing at the bottom, still looking up at her now illuminated by orange streetlights instead of dusky orange sunlight. Tegoshi didn't have to ask the question, where were you before?
"Standing in the middle of nowhere," she said. And smiled. "Standing in the middle of nowhere, watching the sky fall down."
