Akira looked at the vintage store with scrunched eyebrows before turning to Sayaka and Hanae.
"Go ahead without me. I will meet you here when you leave the store." Akira said.
"Where are you going? Do you want to check another shop? We can all go there together afterwards." Sayaka was worried that something was wrong with Akira.
"It's something personal," Akira responded.
Sayaka wanted to push a little more, but she remembered what Daiki had told her. She had to remember that Akira was a grown-up with her thoughts and feelings. Moreover, she had been away from them for most of her life.
They did not have a right to control her decisions.
"Alright. Hanae and I will shop a little here. Call me if anything comes up." Sayaka forced herself to say before walking to the door.
Hanae looked at Akira before following her aunt. After they stepped into Pantheon, Akira walked up the street a little before she crossed it.
