“Huh? Onoda-kun?!”
“Sorry, Yuuki-san. Looks like we got swept away…”
In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, Fuyu and I ended up in this kind of unfortunate and baffling situation. I had her hand tightly within my grasp and my whole body used to ward off any more push from behind, opening up a space for her to move and not to be squeezed into this corner.
How did this happen?
I should dial back a few minutes before all this.
Mornings in our humble city are rarely bustling. Our population isn’t as dense as those in the metropolitan area, after all. So only in rush hours or when there’s an occasion where people tend to gather would one encounter it.
However, as rare as it might be, it’s definitely still happening.
And to our luck, we encountered it this Monday morning.
Having spent the early morning with my two girls, we left the house half an hour later than normal.
