However, she was the only one who seemed to particularly affect his emotions. He seemed to be able to completely release his emotions in front of her and did not need to have any burden.
The few days they spent together were both sweet and painful for him. He would often think of them in his spare time over the three years.
The happier those days were, the more painful it was when she left without saying goodbye.
