The memorial's lake

[At]

Jard stood by a small tree near the memorial lake, letting his mind wander onto his last memories of being there, with a sensation that felt like getting stabbed in the chest with a very sharp knife. He almost let out a wail of sadness, though with the strongest bit of his will, held back the wail, instead choosing to stare out across the lake. Eventually, things seemed to dim, and he knew that he wasn't fully there, as he heard a song that belonged to a quite dead girl he knew. He turned to look at the source and his hallucinations faded, again, the world taking the cheery, yellow brightness that suggested it would be better off to forget and move on, and Jard, like a unmovable statue, stood staring across the edge of the lake, and with a sigh, watched for people coming to the memorial, knowing it was only a matter of time before they showed up like leeches on -her- memory. then, to shake off whatever phantasm had claimed him, he briefly wondered what yumi would do if she ever gained the ability to read his mind. The results were less funny then he would have expected
