When I widened my eyes slightly at the unexpected appearance, he averted my gaze. Then, as if to change the subject, he pointed to my sneakers.

He replied nonchalantly and skillfully tied a ribbon. As I watched him, images of our childhood came to mind.

‘Hugo used to tie my shoelaces for me back then, too.’
Even back then, his hands were slender, and now that was grown, it hadn’t changed.

As I stared at him, reminiscing, Hugo suddenly twisted the corners of his mouth and muttered:

My reunion with Hugo in a long time, was short.
He glanced at the map in my hand and asked, “Are you looking for the teacher’s office?” and pointed in the opposite direction I was going.

No one had ever promised it, but it became an unspoken rule in my family not to talk about Hugo and other awakened ones.
