✨A big thank you to my sister who helped me color this chapter!✨
This has been in the works for a while. I started working on the first page three years ago but struggled to find the peace of mind to finish it, since it was always meant to be a bonus as opposed to a part of the main storyline. As such, I kept postponing it, since I felt like I had to prioritize chasing my weekly deadlines instead.
With my sister's help though, I finally managed to do both and thought that this would be the appropriate time to post it.
I hope you enjoyed reading this little extra material! It's up to you whether you want to see it as canon or not.

My heart! They're so precious, and so much themselves, as kids! Love how they always look and act according to their age (also in the main storyline) - another example of great and sensitive artwork! And yeah, definitely canon :)

I choose to believe it's cannon, awfully sweet tbh

Today is the 2 year anniversary of my grandmother's passing. I often worry abt my mother, who must be suffering in a way similarly to how Nao has. Losing a parent is a terribly painful thing, but this comic lifted my spirits a lot!! Thanks for the cute bonus ❤️❤️

The soccer ball is a metaphor for cupid's arrow 💘

I love how Nao’s goofy smile looks like his mother’s. 😁
Tink
In my head, this is canon! I love how soft his smile is when he thinks back to that time

Chip Bianco
Aww I love this!!!
Sandy Shar
Say we decide if it is cannon or not, but for many of us this is confirmation of what we already know... Ah Souta forgets stuff too easily. 🙃
Caerulex
CUTE OMG
Elliot Summers
I smiled through almost the entire thing <3
B. Rowdy Lufkin
This was perfection. They look so good in color, too!!!
Mari
This is SO adorable and makes so much sense for them!! Since the beginning, even without knowing, they were there for each other, Souta brightening up Nao's life and Nao being Souta's partner to help him with his dream of playing. You have done a great job creating two true soulmates 🥰 Also, everybody knows the way to someone's heart is kicking them in the face with a ball 🤭
