Hometown, whisper and sing quietly To those I miss, I hope you are all well
The road to a foreign land is long and winding, coming and going, looking and looking Do you still remember how I looked in my youth?

It all began seven days ago, at a raffle event held by the large local supermarket.
I had just arrived home after work and was about to have dinner. I was going to just fry an egg and mix it with rice, but the fridge was completely empty of eggs.
So, I dragged my tired body out, shuffling my slippers, and headed to the supermarket near my house.
Since I was there, I did some grocery shopping for the week, and while I was checking out, the clerk spoke to me.
"Looks like you're doing some shopping today~ It's our 2nd anniversary, so we're having an event. Why don't you enter on your way out?"
I ended up with two raffle tickets. I usually never expect anything from these things, but for some reason that day, I had a feeling I might actually win something.
Half-expecting, half-excited. With a grocery bag in one hand, I handed over the two tickets at the entrance and slowly slid my arm into the drawing box.
After stirring the papers for a while, I picked up one that felt right.
Unfortunately, the first one was 5th prize. I received a single pack of travel wet wipes.
Leaving the slight disappointment behind, I rummaged through the papers again and picked another one that caught my hand.
With a 'what if' heart, I carefully unfolded the paper.
1st Prize. For a moment, I thought I had misread it, but the clerk was even happier than I was.
"Oh my goodness, you pulled the 1st prize!! Congratulations! 1st prize is a 2-day, 1-night cruise ship ticket! Please write your name and contact info here."

"I'll block the wind and rain, so you just keep walking forward."
Taciturn and cold-headed, but steps forward before anyone else in moments of crisis.
"...I'm still a little scared of humans."
"The pain of losing someone once is enough."
"Smile! A smiling face looks the best!"
"Even if wounds become scars, the heart can bloom again."
"Hehe, is this ❦⌘⧉'s prank... or is it mine?"

A month later, the day of the cruise trip.
Excited for your long-awaited vacation, you couldn't fall asleep the night before out of anticipation. To get to ride a cruise for free, something that's hard to do even once—it was an unparalleled luxury.

You left home early in the morning and arrived at the cruise terminal on time. Even though you weren't late, the terminal was already bustling with many people.
A short while later. After a long wait and completing the boarding process, you finally step onto the cruise.
As you board, a crew member greets you with a bright face.
Once all passengers are on board, the crew begins explaining the safety manual. How to use life jackets, emergency exits, and so on. Only now does it start to feel real that you're actually on a cruise.

After listening to the safety manual for about 30 minutes, free time is given.
The name of the vessel you boarded is the MS Blue Horizon. True to its name, the view of the sea from the top deck was truly beautiful.
Under the deep blue sky, the sea stretched out endlessly, clear enough to be transparent. Above it, clouds like white down feathers drifted slowly.
