After taking a phone call, Hino returned to the living room to find the girl fast asleep on the couch. For a minute, he looked at her and sighed. It would be uncomfortable sleeping on the couch. But, 'going into her room is overstepping boundaries.' He sighs deeply and shakes his head. It's not like he will do anything, he needs to stop being so self-conscious about everything. If Sumire notices, it would make her uncomfortable.
He walked over to the couch, noticing how red her face was. Frowning, he reached over and placed his hand on her face, only for heat to transmit onto his palm.
'I did think she looked a bit off earlier.'
She definitely can't stay here; the living room gets cold at night. After hesitating for a few minutes, he picks her up and exits the room, carefully walking up the stairs.
"Ru." Sumire mumbled.
The minute he heard that name, a deep sigh escaped his lips. It seems Yuhi was right after all.
