Hisaki knew she had been delaying this matter for weeks. As long as she didn't make any significant move, everything would just be fruitless. She couldn't completely rely on Takuya.
After parting ways with Heisuke, she headed to one of the public phones.
Hisaki didn't immediately dial the numbers after inserting the card. For some reason, her heart began to pound heavily. The constant hammering sent a ringing noise to her ears. Her legs felt weak all of a sudden.
"It's now or never, Hisaki."
After taking a couple of deep breaths, Hisaki's index finger started to press on the keypad. The dialing sound almost got drowned by the erratic beating of her heart.
The call was connected after several rings.
Hisaki's uneasiness prompted her to immediately speak. Her voice was shaky.
"...Mom, it's me."
What followed next was a deafening sound, enough to freeze her in fear.
"YOU WRETCH GIRL! YOU KNOW TO CALL HOME?! DIDN'T YOU ABANDON YOUR PARENTS ALREADY?!"
