As Akira was leaving the restaurant, she thought of something.
Even though she had been with the Yamazaki family for a while, she had not managed to bond with any of them. She got along with her father, and she was not resistant to her second brother. But it could not be considered a relationship.
As for her mother, it was just tense and awkward.
Of course, most of the issues cropped up after Hanae's trick on that first day.
Moreover, she did not feel comfortable in the Yamazaki house.
Still, her father, mother and second brother made an effort to be closer to her despite the situation.
Perhaps it was time to respond to their efforts.
Maybe her decision was based on the guilt she felt for the part she played in Hazae embarrassing Sayaka in public. Or maybe, she did have a desire to know her real family. Regardless of the underlying trigger, she wanted to know her new family members.
After all, it was the reason she moved to Mountain Ridge.
