Bonfire Night

Everyone gathered at the dining table. Unlike before, Ashnard didn't wake the others. Ashnard was already waiting at the dining table when one by one people came and sat down. Seems to have something to say, though everyone there saw Ashnard sitting quietly.

Meanwhile, Nina who got off, and immediately took the seat next to Ashnard, was feeling restless. Confused and awkward seeing from last night's events, Ashnard didn't mention it at all. Ashnard just stood there as if nothing had happened between them. Nina was thinking everywhere because of this.

Ashnard's right hand which was previously on the table dropped down. Then, slowly reached out and grasped both of Nina's hands that were in her lap. Ashnard tugged at Nina's left hand, then let her grip hang in the air. Under the table, hidden from anyone.
