Spring Wonder
Chapter 1

Written By: Chris Schumacher
Based on the characters and situation created by Matsumoto Izumi.

They stood in winter-chilled grass before the worn stone. The
marble had faded over the years. Gone was the melodious mixture of
vibrant blues and cool greys. The stone had sat here for many lonely
years, a sentinel of the dead.
Etched on its surface were lines, swirls, loops, dashes and
points which represented thoughts: symbols. The largest symbols meant:
spring, sun, beauty, sunrise. The beautiful rise of the spring sun.
These symbols were a name: Akemi Kasuga.
Today was the first day of spring, sixteen years after Akemi's
last breath. Those that Akemi left behind stood before the marker,
dressed all in white. There were three children that Akemi wouldn't
have recognized, and a husband who was almost two decades older.
