As she was standing in front of the kitchen table, Himari silently berated herself for showing such behavior in front of Kazuya. He must be perplexed by her sudden action.
Yet, it was unbearable for Himari to quickly adjust her emotions in a span of a short time.
She felt so stuffy and painful inside. It was as if sharp spears kept digging into her heart, reminding her of the pain she had to endure before.
She really wanted to find a place to hide, where no one could see her.
But, she had to keep on smiling and laughing as if there was nothing wrong.
After all, it was something that she hid deep inside her heart.
"Himari?"
Himari's shoulders jolted. Those dark thoughts shattered away. She abruptly looked up to where the voice came.
He was standing so close to her.
She could see her face reflected on his dark eyes.
Without she wanted to, a drop of tear finally trickled down her cheek.
