I'm not sure why, but when I got the school lake, I felt a weird chill. Subconsciously, I pulled my jacket around tighter. Suddenly, I noticed the back of a girl as she was slowly walking along the lakeside in front of me. A unexplainable impulse came over me and I started walking towards her, gradually getting closer and closer. As I approached, I saw that it was her! That elegant view of her back. That raven-black hair in a braid! Then, when I got closer, I realized her head was hung low and she was sobbing.
