732 We must make a choice

'Desire… could something like that be so open?

'No, this isn't desire, he's simply expressing concern for me.

'But why is he concerned about me?

'Because he's simply such a person who thinks it's natural to help others…

'But isn't that way of thinking also a type of "desire"?'

Miyabi became confused.

Yet, she also felt as if she'd realized something.

Miyabi felt faintly as if she understood what her junior meant by the story of what the other girl had "learned" through her trial.

Now, Miyabi was facing her own trial.

Either she would learn to "control" her other self, or she would be "controlled" by her other self.

Fear, rejection, and avoidance… Those were all useless. She could only face "herself" head on…

"Senpai?"

Seiji noticed that Miyabi seemed to be thinking something. He called out to her, but received no response.
