August 14th, 1913. Ivan is getting ready for work as usual, a cloudy sunny morning shining through his window, creating somewhat breeze and calm vibe inside his home. Before heading out, Ivan looked behind at his house before turning back and walking away. He misses how his mother usually wait out in front of the house just to see him walk away.
Ivan walked his way to the road, it was still crowded, but not too much by now since he have gotten up early. Each step is like a song to his ears as he gets used to it. Soon, he sees the woman again, Yuriko. Yuriko notices Ivan and waves at him, smiling a shiny bright white in her teeths.
"Huh? Yuriko?" Ivan thought to himself before walking closer to her.
"Hello, Ivan! it's good to see you again" Yuriko smiled as she talks to Ivan.
Yuriko gives a small, but warm scented box to Ivan. Ivan peeks at the box to find a simple breakfast inside it, porride and bread. For Ivan, it was like a diamond to him.
"Thank you so much, Yuriko. I.. I can't say a single word, this is a great gift for me. I'm so grateful to have this, Yuriko" Ivan proudly stated. Yuriko looks up at Ivan, smiling to see his words are genuine and truthful
"No problem, Ivan! it just seems like you do need it. What are you working for?" Yuriko asked softly.
"Blacksmithing, it's like a few buildings away. If you want to visit you could, but I'll be busy to have some company while working, it's best if you sit and watch me work." Ivan stated.
Yuriko nodded and walks inside a building, it seems like it's a.. Bakery? Ivan watches as Yuriko soon dissapear inside the building before continuing his journey to go to work. His mood is suddenly lifted and happy, Ivan felt like he has a friend to talk to, Ivan couldn't handle his emotions so he has to go to work while smiling. a few pedestrians side eyed Ivan, but didn't mind to ask. Ivan didn't care, atleast he was happy for once after a while.
