A courtyard in the back of the onsen, opening up to a scenic view of a mountain valley. Although it was night ti, flowers along the ground glowed with a soft white light. Sakura trees on either side swayed with the night breeze, sending petals floating through the air.
Rin walked out into the area and held up her hand, catching a flower petal in her open palm. She watched it for a bit, smiling as it flew away, and then turned to look around. "I still can't believe this place is real."
It was beautiful. Mister John and the studio were capable of making pretty sceneries too, but sothing about the fact that this place was *real* instead of virtual made it that much more beautiful.
Rin shifted her kimono a bit and then started walking around to explore.
There was a stone path leading through the valley and up to a pagoda. Flower beds lined either side of the path, letting off soft light. And in the distance, Rin could see so koi fish swimming in a pond.
A peaceful and serene atmosphere. And another thing reminding her of just how grateful she was to be living the life she was now.
Being able to have caring older sisters to look after her. Being able to have friends she could talk to and have fun with. Being able to chase after the dream she gave up so long ago...
"Yosh!" Rin clapped her hands and then pointed up at the sky. "Let's work hard and fill the sky with fireworks, Hana!"
Just like Mister John had been her shooting star. Just like how Onee-chan could live free and smile these days so happily. Just like how Aneue could be a normal person instead of dealing with the yakuza...
"We haven't made it yet, so let's keep working hard!"
Inspired, Rin headed back to her room. Even if she couldn't stream right now...
"Ah! I almost forgot!"
Rin took out her phone from her sleeve and then took a picture of the surroundings. After that, she made a quick Chirp on Twotter and then made her way to go check out the pagoda.
