581 Fear of Change

Even though Lila just said she would invite them to the tournament. She felt overwhelmed when she saw the ticket. Her friend's performance from the other day still remained firmly in her head. This entire time, for the past half-year, what has she been doing? Lila has reached such a level of brilliance despite being in so much pain. Kasumi thought she could face her friend, but as one would expect, she can't. How can she stand beside Lila with the way she is now?

Tears started to stream down her face before long, which did not go unnoticed by Lila. "Wahhh, Kasumi? Why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying!!"

Lila laughed, "But you are," her friend grabbed hold of her hands and brushed their foreheads together. "I don't know what your thinking, but I don't blame you at all, Kasumi."

"How come?"

"How to put it? I know you've been doing your best for me this entire time."

"Stupid," Kasumi wailed. "You're stupid."

"I know, I know."
