The park.
A low iron fence.
Lined with ornamental plants.
The paint slightly faded.
Swings on the left.
A slide on the right.
A sandbox in the middle.
A water fountain.
A walking path.
---
I stopped at the entrance.
No gate.
Just an opening.
Yuna stopped beside me.
Her eyes immediately darted around.
Searching.
---
Two kids stood near the swings.
Waving their hands.
"…Yuna!"
Their voices were louder than usual.
Lighter.
Yuna raised her hand slightly.
A simple reply.
"…yeah…"
She didn't run straight away.
Just walked a bit faster.
Heading toward them.
---
I entered after her.
A normal pace.
Unrushed.
The ground was a little dry.
Uneven grass.
Paved walkways.
Some parts shifted out of place.
Yuna had arrived.
Standing in front of them.
"You took so long…"
One of them said.
"…sorry, I went shopping with Papa for a bit…"
Yuna replied.
The other one gave a small laugh.
"…that's fine, let's play…"
---
They moved toward the swings.
