The old man picked up the torn photograph and sighed. It was a picture of him and two of his best friends, Sulli and Tyler at the top of Mount Fuji. Several decades had passed since this picture was taken.

Alex jumped off his bed as he realised he was going to be late on his first day at college. He threw on his favourite outfit and dashed off to his college. Upon arriving the college campus, he saw a girl dressed in black walking in rounds frantically. He decided to walk past her as he was already late. "Excuse me!" he immediately stopped in his tracks.

She took her camera off her neck and asked a passer-by to help them take a picture. Flash. The picture was taken and all three of them had a beatific smile on their faces. The trio took several photos after that and agreed the first photo they took was the best. It was the
