Opening up

“I apologize first for interfering, Sara-san... You can tell me if I did something unnecessary.”

After gaining some distance from where I found her, I broke the silence between us with that apology.

No matter how certain I was that she didn’t like to be confronted by him there, it wouldn’t erase the fact that I somehow overstepped in that situation.

If anything, the ideal move there would be just to observe first and interfere if ever the situation starts to get out of hand. That way, it will be even easier to extricate her and have more justification to do so. Contrary to that, we fabricated a lie that may or may not be revealed to that guy.

But well, it’s already done so there’s no going back to it anymore.

“No. You saved me there, Onoda-kun. Honestly, I don’t think I can face him properly right now.” Sara hurriedly shook her head before lowering her head in shame. The tone she used sounded a little gloomy with a hint of guilt.
