Kiryu Hina waited in her seat.
Sitting upright and tense, she kept her eyes fixed on the classroom door, waiting for that girl to appear.
Due to inexplicable nervousness, her gaze began to dart around.
There was something that needed confirmation.
This was merely a condition of the transaction, a result of a promise made under duress; it didn't come from her heart.
To forgive her ex-boyfriend's affair partner was outrageous, even for someone not directly involved, seeing it from a third-party perspective.
But she had to do it.
Kiryu Hina believed there were many ways to gain someone's trust, and one of the most important was to keep a promise.
If she couldn't be honest, then she couldn't even take the first step towards being a perfect person.
Just like before, proceed with a smile and acting.
