A few days later February 8th, at Tsukuhara high school.
It was finally time to return to school. Hino contacted her and Yuhi last night, saying it should be okay now.
'There may still be a few reporters lurking around. But they are not allowed to approach you.'
Certainly, when Yuhi dropped her off this morning, she spotted the reporters. But even when Yuhi left her alone, they couldn't do anything. It was the first day back, but her dear had emergency work and had to leave.
He said he would be on time for the meeting later, but she was already missing his presence. Although it was only for a short amount of time, it reminded her of the time she spent with him during Christmas.
Being in her dearest embrace is the best, even though he kept teasing her. After changing her shoes, she quickly left the locker area and stopped at the end of the hallway back staircase. Shin was leaning against the stairs.
Sumire slumped on the bottom step.
