Seiji remained silent for a few moments.
"She definitely shouldn’t stay like this. We need to help her recover her memory. It can’t be helped if we need to take some risks for this… but even so, I still hope that we won’t end up hurting her."
Natsuya nodded in understanding.
"I’ll try my best."
There was yet another period of silence.
Finally, Natsuya came up with an unexpected yet reasonable suggestion.
…
The next morning.
Mika had a strange premonition as she received Seiji’s phone call.
"Hey, Seiji, what’s the matter?
"Eh!? Staying… somewhere else overnight!?"
The pigtailed girl was shocked.
That was because he told her over the phone that due to some circumstances, he slept over at a friend’s house last night, and he planned to stay there for an extended period of time! He would be unable to go to school or walk home together with her.
What was going on? What happened!?
