gyaxa | The Starry Night We Dreamed of that Day

Akira: This takes me back.

Will: Me too…

Akira: Hey, Will…

Will: Hm?

Akira: Do ya remember the last meteor shower, the one five years back?

Will: Five years ago…?

Akira: Yeah. That's when you told me you were gonna enroll in the Academy.

Will: Um…

Akira: I figured ya forgot, but let me just say this.

I'm sorry I said heroes were lame that day.

Will: Huh?

Akira: I knew you always admired heroes, and dreamed of becomin’ one yourself…

I'm really sorry…

Will: … I guess that might’ve happened.

Akira: So ya did forget.

Will: Ahaha…

It didn't weigh on my mind like you probably think it did. Well, I was pretty upset to hear it, though…

Akira: … Figures.

Will: Well, I didn't know if you really meant it…

I probably was so happy when you told me you wanted to be a hero too that I forgot all about it ♪

Akira: Heh, what's with that?

Will: But it all adds up now. The reason you gave up the leading role is cuz you remembered what happened back then, right?

Akira: … I guess.

It kept weighin’ on me, and I kept skirtin’ around the problem, which ain't like me at all…

But I knew I had to make the call and apologize to you.

Will: So that's what happened…

Can you hear me out for a minute?

Akira: Ah, ya had somethin’ ya wanted to say too, right?

Will: Yeah… When I told you I wanted to become a hero way back when we were kids…

Akira: Y'mean the thing ya brought up in the interview?

Will: Truth be told, I was really nervous that day…

I mean, I had never told anyone I wanted to become a hero before.

I was so scared I'd be told I couldn't cuz of my weak constitution that I couldn't bring myself to say it…

Akira: ……

Will: But then…
