"Yawn~."
I stretched my arm wearily as I yawned in boredom.
Leaning against the wall on the terrace of the first-year students' building, I sat in the shade with earphones plugged into my ears, listening to the songs of 'Echo.'
[You know, bunking classes and ignoring her won't change anything, right?]
I picked up my phone and stopped the music as El's voice resonated in my head.
"....What a nice weather today is, right El?" I asked, looking at the clear afternoon sky as I touched the earring on my left ear.
[....It's been a week since she opened up, and here you are trying your best not to come into her view.]
"....What do you want me to do then?" I asked, closing my eyes.
[....At least stop ignoring her—.]
"...And then what?" I interrupted, clenching my fist, "...Let her die because I want to be close to her?"
[...Azariah—.]
