Mudur one day before.

While Aoyama is at Ren's doorstep, he overhears Ren's conversation with his father.

"Sumimasen (Excuse me), I just delivered the documents from Seto sensei." Aoyama ventured to speak because he did not want to linger waiting.

"Oh Sensei come in for a minute." Jouji invited Aoyama to sit down. But he was very surprised when he saw Ren about to come out with his bag and jacket thick.

"Ren once said to Dady" Jouji said, preventing Ren. He no longer knew what way could make Ren to not do silly things.

Aoyama who saw the situation immediately turned his face away, he did not want to interfere just that Jouji still had to hear an explanation from him.

"I'm sorry." said Ren, then his footsteps went to the door even though his father prevented his hand.

"Anoo I think it's better not to be prevented, sorry if my words are presumptuous. But I'm here not to see your commotion."

Aoyama stood up from her seat, then handed Jouji a brown envelope.

"What does sensei mean?" jouji wondered. He was very angry at the assistant doctor Seto because he did not understand the current situation.

"With such circumstances, which parent would let his child go. Especially to Tokyo." This time Jouji's anger was no longer held back, he grabbed Aoyama's kra.

"Dady stop it." Ren dropped his bag and approached his father.

"Hasn't it been his desire to leave? Even if your son is not allowed to go home, it will still not affect his condition. In the end he was just like a bird locked in an iron cage and died. Sorry, I just delivered a message from Seto sensei. I also had to hurry to visit my Aunt in Tokyo. Sumimasen (excuse me)."

Without guilt Aoyama said goodbye to go home, while Ren who heard could only peck for a moment then brought his bag back to the room.

Ren sat in his room for a long time and he never slept. His gaze looked at the graffiti on the room wall and slowly approached it. Seen a smile on his lips then Ren climbed on his bed and fell asleep.

..."Dream ten years ahead"...

The next morning, Ren wakes up to the noise of his father in his room.

"You'll be late if you don't get up soon."

Jouji said by putting some of Ren's medicines into Ren's small bag.

"Ohaiou." Sapa Aoyama who was already in the guest room and Ren only replied with a nod.

"Go." Ren's father said that with a slight smile and quietly.

Hearing his father's words, of course, Ren was surprised and scratched his head that was not itchy.

"What's really going on? Did Dady's head hit?"

By wondering Ren approached his father, because it could not be that easy as his father changed his mind.

"Go, before I change my mind."

"That's right." Ren muttered with a small laugh then carried his bag and rushed towards the station.

Aoyama says goodbye to Jouji before following Ren away.

"Explain to me what really happened? Dady changed his mind as quickly as possible" Ren said, starting a conversation with Aoyama while in a taxi.

"I think so too, just think of it as a miracle." Aoyama replied jokingly and followed with a small laugh.

"Kisekii? (miracle), just think so. But I never believed in miracles."

"Watashi mo (me too). Your father gave me permission because he knew I was going to Tokyo too. If you're not okay there, call me right away." Aoyama replied to Ren's question seriously.

"But I like Seto sensei better than you."

"I'm better than Seto sensei. Come on down, you don't want to be left behind by the train."

As usual Aoyama with his indifference responded to Ren's words. He also immediately took Ren's belongings and dropped them off.

Then the two of them immediately got off the taxi and headed for the station door.

Hinana and her friends were already there, and Ren began to smile on his lips.
