Even though the old couple knew what the child would say, they still asked her every year without fail.
Perhaps one year, on her birthday, she would tell them what she wanted without any hesitation...
What she wanted.
They waited for that year to come.
They never expected...
That year had really arrived.
Sooner than they had thought...
They couldn't say whether it had come quickly or slowly.
In any case, it was a good thing.
It was all in the past.
The child looked at them with her large, dark eyes and said she missed Pangpang very much. She wanted to see Pangpang...
Her little eyes drifted slightly, but a dim light flickered in them.
Let's ask her teacher for Pangpang's contact information. If the teacher knows the child misses her friend, she should be willing to give us the contact information for someone outside the family...
But...
Had they gotten it wrong?
The child was older now, and she hadn't kept in touch.
"Back then..."
The old couple's words made the child feel both shy and happy.
"What is it?"
"So many people came that day..."
If only she could, how she wished she could erase that memory from the child's mind...
Grandpa asked without thinking.
"Grandpa and Grandma have very good memories."
"One of the Little Brothers had a very beautiful fox..."
Grandma looked at Grandpa and said, word by word.
Which one had transferred away?
They had thought Pangpang was a friend from the child's school whom they hadn't met.
"Because Grandpa and Grandma love Baby's Breath so much."
Grandma furrowed her brows.
And then they had lost touch.
"I know!"
The child froze.
The child's clear, slightly soft voice rang in their ears.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa and Grandma don't remember Pangpang."
