Kiyohira knows that she is peeking at him. He doesn't look at her. She is a ball of nervousness. Like a person who is guilty of a crime, she is afraid of being caught.
When he destroyed her house, he knew that he destroyed her place to hide. Back then, he didn't care how it would affect her. She wasn't afraid of him when he destroyed her place or threatened to throw her in the prison. She is afraid of him now. He isn't happy. Instead of getting closer, he feels that he is further away from her.
He hears the sound of her stomach's grumble. She can't pretend to sleep now. The heavy silence feels unbreakable.
When they reach home, she bolts to her room and locks herself inside. His grandmother frowns at him. Takeshi raises his brow. "Did you fight with her again, Elder Brother?"
"No." He glares at him. "Why are you still awake? Go to your room."
