"You. You've been here before, aren't you?"
Hayashi Makiko, the school nurse, asked. Like the first time I saw her, she still wore that dark purplish lipstick. Unlike Miwa-nee, she's purposely showing off her mature charm. What Miwa-nee has is like a natural charm she gained because of her having a child.
Maybe that will also happen to Akane when we get a child in the future. Ah. Why am I already thinking about that? Understanding love comes first! I can somehow feel it now but I'm still far from understanding it.
"Yes. Last Friday, I brought a classmate who collapsed here."
"Right. And now, you're bringing another collapsed student. You, are you that unlucky?"
This school nurse. How was that connected to unluckiness? Eh? Is she someone who believes in superstitions?
"No, we were in PE and this girl collapsed from exhaustion."
"I see. Put her down to that bed. You can go back now."
