Ichika Tomari
The Garden

Today was the day. Today he would meet the girl he was going to spend the rest of his life with, the girl who would love him. Ichika was feeling a strange combination of nervous, and excited. He would already have met her, had the Match Offices not already been full, so he had to wait, even though the waiting was unbearable. He wanted his match and he wanted her now

In order to help pass the time as painlessly as possible, Ichika was spending his time in the garden. It was always quite and peaceful in here, so he could come here to be alone with his thoughts. Granted his thoughts always ended up being about his unknown match, even before she had been found...but still. Something else pleasant about this place was that it was nice and sunny. Ichika liked the sun; it was bright and warm. Just like his match was, he just knew it

What would she be like, he wondered. Would she want to move in with him right away, or would she want to wait? What kinds of things would she like to eat? What would she want to do? These questions were swirling around in his head so much that it was a little disorienting. "I'm finally going to meet her; my destined one"
