After that, Ayakoji Chiyoko had completely severed private contact with Kagura Hikaru, becoming merely a collaborator.
On usual days, Ayakoji Chiyoko acted as if she did not know him, cold and distant, and when she had to interact with him for official matters, she spoke sparingly and left as soon as it was over.
"I probably failed."
On a bench in a secluded corner of the courtyard, Kagura Hikaru said this to Kiryu Hina, sitting at the other end.
He confessed the recent events and the relationship with Ayakoji Chiyoko that had hit rock bottom.

She didn't avoid him, but her attitude towards him was just like that towards a stranger, with interactions only for official matters, making the situation where they casually chatted privately almost impossible to happen again.
