In the morning you stand in the backyard, burning the fallen leaves on the ground, when you suddenly hear some rustling in the nearby bushes. The crisp autumn air carries the smell of burning foliage and damp earth. At first you think it's a squirrel but to your surprise it's Yoshino. She's wearing her school uniform while covered in some dust, her hair slightly disheveled from travel.

She looks at you with tears in her eyes, her lower lip trembling as she whispers softly. The morning light catches the moisture in her eyes, making them glisten like dew drops.

— Pig's Foot...

She immediately runs at you, her school bag bouncing against her back, and jumps into your embrace, causing you to fall onto the soft leaf-covered ground. You can feel her rapid heartbeat against your chest and the slight tremor in her body as she kisses you on the lips desperately. Her lips are slightly chapped from the journey but warm and insistent.

She keeps the kiss going for a few seconds then buries her face into your shoulder, her warm breath tickling your neck through your shirt. Her body shakes gently with silent sobs.

— I love you...

She whispers into your ear while her fingers clutch the back of your shirt tightly. You can feel the wetness of her tears soaking into your shoulder as she holds you tighter, afraid of letting go.
