As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant hues of orange and pink, a young woman stood gazing at the breathtaking landscape. The gentle breeze carried a familiar voice to her ears.

"Hey, Aki!"

Turning, she spotted a figure approaching in the distance. Her eyes lit up with recognition. "Oh, look! Isn't that Hito?" she murmured, focusing on the young man heading her way.

"Oh! Yes, it's Hito!" Aki exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "Hey, Hito!"

Hito, now a grown young man with a bright smile, approached them. His features had matured, but his eyes still held that familiar warmth.

As Aki's cheeks began to flush, she managed to say, "Hey, how have you been?"

Hito's smile widened. "Hey, I expected to see you tomorrow. You're here earlier than expected, although I'm not surprised. You always keep me guessing, you know."

Aki responded with a mixture of admiration and passion in her voice, "Well, I did have a good teacher. You can imagine how my skills have improved beyond what you taught me." Her eyes locked onto his, conveying unspoken emotions.

Hito's face reddened at the compliment. "Hey, okay, Aki! Come on now!" he said, trying to deflect the praise.

Aki couldn't help but laugh gently. "Well, look at that. We're both blushing now."

Hito's expression softened as he gazed at her. "I'm just glad you're okay," he said sincerely.

"Now, let's go home. We have much to discuss," Hito suggested, his tone becoming more serious.

Aki nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's go."
