'I could have easily asked her that question, but I held back. I have already learned enough truths for one day.' He didn't ask her if she still liked him, but he made his feelings for Sumire clear. Would she have told him, if he didn't say that? Or would she have continued to lie to herself?
When he was sure the girl had left, he returned to Sumire's room.
Huan had curled into a ball shape and had fallen asleep beside Sumire. Hino draped the quilt around Huan, and sat down on the chair beside Sumire's bed.
'When you open your eyes, you're going to have a great time telling me that you told me so.' This must be the reason why Sumire stopped being jealous towards Cassie. She must have observed the girl long enough to know that she was lying to herself and everyone.
