Her Trauma (1)

Although Serizawa-senpai accepted when I told her that I wanted to take care of her, she’s still somewhat different from my girls.

If I had to guess, it’s like I accepted her dependence on me and on her part, she accepted my presence in her life. Someone like Haruko that she could depend on.

Well, perhaps that’s not a guess since I instantly felt that her fear towards me visibly lessened.

We went back to our earlier position wherein we’re both entangled with each other, with Serizawa-senpai on top of me.

“I... Onoda-kun, listen to my story. It mostly happened to my mother’s home country and my birthplace...” Serizawa-senpai started her story.

And while I went back to brushing her hair to make her comfortable, I listened to her somewhat tragic story that led to who she was today.

I put all of my focus on her, preparing for the resurfacing of her fear once she reached the point where it manifested in her story.
