Marika's Kindness (1)

With the addition of Marika visiting me, this truly became a loaded Monday. A very loaded one with little to no rest for me. In any case, this was a welcome surprise at the same level as Misaki pulling me with her during lunch break.

Indeed, the thought of checking on this tragic golden ringlet passed through my mind. Last Friday put her in a position where she had to confront Ichihara Jun directly, after all. I was wondering what happened or if her situation was aggravated. I didn’t receive any message from her despite the reminder I left to contact me.

Anyway, seeing that bright, cheerful smile when her eyes caught my figure, it’s apt to say that nothing serious happened. But the next moment made me wonder.

How is she alone?

I looked past her shoulder to check if someone would enter after her but until she pushed the door closed, no one else appeared.
