The Night Before The Social Gathering

Hisaki and Heisuke shared about their finding the boy named Tadashi with Takuya and Mrs. Chisaka. They narrated the story during lunch on that day.

"There must be something that made the boy act like that. Hopefully, his parents find a cure for him."

Hisaki agreed with what her mother had concluded. Heisuke and Takuya also shared the same view with the ladies.

Tadashi's parents did mention that he could actually speak. But, it stopped after something occurred before, certainly related to a psychological shock.

Even though mental health treatments were mostly frowned upon in their conservative culture, Hisaki wished Tadashi's parents wouldn't let the stigma hinder them.

Then, the people at the table changed the subject. Takuya started to share about his new task at the university. Hisaki was so tempted to ask him about Shizuka but, she held herself back.
