The sound of fireworks exploding in the night sky drowned out their breathing, neither of them looked away.
Fushimi Roku's hand was still suspended in mid-air, his fingertips trembling slightly; while Minamoto Tamako's ears were already red, her knuckles turned white from gripping the railing too tightly.
"Ah, I brought this..."
Fushimi Roku snapped out of it, took out his wallet, and said, "I've thought about it, you don't lack anything. Giving a ring seems strange, giving a necklace feels like I'm copying others, so I decided to give you what you most want."
He took out the red Redemption Voucher, looked away, and handed it to Minamoto Tamako: "Those things... I should have told you about them in the first place."
Minamoto Tamako received the Redemption Voucher with both hands, wanting to say something but not knowing what, her mind all a jumble.
