The denial of acceptance was still present. The void you left became wider and deeper. It was absurd. I was searching for you in the crowd, trying to find out if there was a person like you. I went to the beach where we recorded my school requirement, the music video. I kept walking at the seashore.

        What happened that day played in my mind like some sort of film. You disappeared like those footprint traces, vanished by the sea waves. My monotonous life came back when you faded away—but you know, I thought that phase of my life was the most miserable yet my circumstances now proved me wrong.
