--playlist of this chapter: Best Friend by Marylou Villegas
...
In Petra's life, there are not many moments of togetherness with a friend who is so close like Hime. It was the first time in her life that Petra could feel the warmth of friendship other than the one Ken had given her years ago.
Seeing Hime who walked closer and hugged Petra from behind, suddenly made Petra's heart beat fast. It was as if an invisible hard object had squeezed his chest until it was tight.
So is this the bitterness of parting? Petra thought sadly.
Then, there was no command from anyone and just like that, a drop of water fell onto the surface of one of Petra's pale cheeks. With her condition not fully recovered and back to health, Petra just let Hime do what she wanted to do to herself.
