Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day
What are we doing for fun tomorrow?
At that place, there are endless ways of finding pleasure. Dig in the soft dirt under the trees, and you will find a lot of rhino beetle larvae. You can skip flat stones at the dry river bed. You can play sumo in the pine tree leaves. Daruma-san ga koronda is good too.

Oh, there is that color—white. It’s the color of the dress she is always wearing.
But that white is like the towels when you take a bath: slowly changing to indigo as water invades inside.
Even if it was white, it would still vanish.
Tomorrow, to replace the white that suddenly vanished, I decided to wear a white T-shirt—within that haziness.
The Tree Hole was wide open.
It was the Tree Hole in the big tree growing behind the secret base.
Its abysmal darkness conjured a feeling it might stretch to another world.
She was there, looking.

When this was done, everything would be fine—I thought, heaving a sigh, and turned my head around...
Through the crevice between the stones, she...Meiko was looking this way.
I was more and more scared, stuffing stones inside recklessly, for I could not throw stones at Meiko. It would have been much better if I hadn't said "I hope we could meet again" on that day.
Meiko was inside the Tree Hole.
From that day onward, she continued hiding inside, silently.
