At the end
of summer,
Riku returned
to his hometown.
A year had passed
since he started
his university life
in Tokyo,
and he was filled
with excitement
about coming back.
He was especially
looking forward to
reuniting with
his childhood friend,
Kenta.
"Hey, Riku!
Long time no see!"
Kenta's voice
called out.
Riku turned around
to see Kenta
waving with
his usual smile,
but something
felt off.
The two of them
sat down
by the riverside,
each holding
a can of coffee.
It was their favorite spot
since they were kids.
"So, how's university life
in Tokyo?"
Kenta asked.
"Well, it's been
quite an experience.
I've encountered
new ways of thinking,
and it feels like
my world has broadened,"
Riku began to speak
excitedly.
He talked about
the value of diversity
he learned
in his philosophy class,
the interesting aspects
of different cultures
he discovered
through interactions
with international students,
and the social issues
he became aware of
through volunteer work.
However, the more Riku talked,
the more he noticed
Kenta's expression
clouding over.
"Yeah... I see,"
Kenta replied curtly.
"What about you, Kenta?
How's work going?"
"Well, it's the same
as always here,"
Kenta responded.
The conversation
didn't flow.
They used to be able
to talk for hours.
"Hey, Kenta,
there are various issues
in this town too.
Maybe we can do
something about them,"
Riku suggested boldly.
Kenta suddenly
raised his voice.
"What are you talking about?
What do you know
about this town?
You've only been
in Tokyo for a year,
and now you think
you know everything..."
Riku was taken aback.
"That's not what I meant..."
"It's fine.
You go your own way.
We'll manage here,"
Kenta said,
standing up
and turning his back.
"Kenta..."
Riku called out.
Kenta paused
for a moment
but walked away
without looking back.
Left alone
by the riverside,
Riku watched
Kenta's retreating figure
and thought.
The more his world expanded,
the more the distance
between him
and those he cared about
seemed to grow.
But was this
what growth meant?
Riku looked up
at the sky.
The dusk sky
was painted orange,
yet it seemed
somewhat lonely.
"Surely, I can build
a bridge,"
Riku murmured.
He was determined
to find a way
to reconcile with Kenta.
That would prove
the true value
of his broadened world.
Riku stood up
and slowly headed home.
In his mind,
the conversation
with Kenta
replayed over and over.
He knew
he would reflect
on this conversation
many times
in the future,
and each time,
he would gain
new insights.
