"Where have I seen you?" the boy thought out loud, and when realizing the words he had said, his face flushed with a vivid scarlet color.

"You are Hideki are you not?" she said with tears filling up her eyes. Astonished by this the boy asked "How do you know my name?" For as long he could remember he had been living in the outskirts since he was a poverty stricken boy with no family. The woman hugged him and proceeded to tell him who she was. "I am your mother." Shocked by this the boy was unable to say anything when the door burst open, and the girl he had met on the train entered. "So it was you Hideki!" yelled out and proceeded to hug him.

The boy then realized what had just happened. He had been reunited with his family. Then the boy felt inside his pockets and took out the balloon. "Happy things come from unusual places."
