Concerned about whether the man she held unrequited love for could clear his name, Akeda Kanae truly made a great effort, desperately trying to recall the past, but after more than a decade, and with countless milestone life events having occurred in between, her memory was very vague. She thought for a long time before finally venturing, "Does shared elective courses count apart from attending regular major classes? I seem to recall seeing them together a few times in the library. I even once joked with Omomi, asking them if they were preparing to date, but I really can't remember what they were doing. I only remember it probably had something to do with a certain elective course..."
As she spoke, she became uncertain herself, "It's also possible they just ran into each other occasionally, or maybe it was for something else. At that time, I think it was the second half of our junior year, everyone was busy with job-hunting courses, only the two of them seemed more at ease."
