Admittance
When Eri and Futaba found Akane and Fuyu returning to the living room, they couldn’t say anything at all. Their suspicions about Fuyu’s relationship with me seemingly got stuck to their throat, failing to be voiced by them.
They had to awkwardly bring up another topic to get past it.
Likewise, despite being informed of what happened, Akane and Fuyu also didn’t bring it up themselves.
However, that topic was already like a guillotine hanging over our heads. Any one of us could cut the tie and send it hurling down at us.
Not gonna lie, it sure was an awkward scene seeing them acting very carefully with their words after all the fun we had earlier and during dinner.
While going through other topics, Eri and Futaba would occasionally look in my direction. It’s as though they’re telling me to bring up that topic since I was the root of it.
I understood what was going on in their heads. They couldn’t bring it up with Akane also listening at the side.
