My smartphone buzzes with a notification. There's a new message on LANE.
"Aston Machan sent a file."
Taking a glance, it appears to be a sound file—no context. Maybe she's still typing out a message?
Nothing comes through, even after waiting, so I tap the Play button.
"Battery level okay. The microphone is also working. Yay!
Well then, allow me to begin. It's time for Aston Machan Radio! Heh, Heh, maybe that's too silly...
Now then, let's do this safely, and gaze at the sky from the rooftop. I'll even let my legs dangle over. See? This isn't scary at all.
There are lots of puddles from the heavy rain yesterday. Thanks to that, Machan is between the skies. The big sky above and the little sky below.
Right now, I am among the very skies themselves."
I pause the clip and stand from my chair. I can picture it in my head—a place within the academy where one can gaze upon the lovely sky.
If I dash up the staircase with all my might, then just how will she greet me? Perhaps with a troubled smile?
"You found me. Machan was here all along."
