As Ishikawa poured out her emotions, Hiro's eyes snapped toward her, taken aback by the intensity of her sudden outburst.
However, when he looked closer, he saw more than just anger. Her face was twisted with conflicting emotions, and though she seemed furious, her reddened eyes brimmed with unshed tears, revealing a deeper sadness.
'Did I say something wrong? Is this my fault?'
Hiro stood frozen, his mind racing to understand the cause of her distress. But no comforting words came to him. He remained silent, unsure of what to say.
His silence only seemed to fuel her anger, as if she had been waiting for some kind of response from him.
Ishikawa's mouth opened to say something but she refrained from saying. Then she turned away to leave without uttering a word.
Hiro was puzzled by her gesture.
Even so, when he found her leaving, he rushed to stop her. Then he grabbed her hand and said, "Where are you going?"
