It's another overcast morning, the grey clouds hid the otherwise beautiful blue sky from everyone's view. The earth seemed a bit dimmer with less life. Everything looked dull as well.
The skies rumbled and the birds flew away in terror. It made people feel less productive as a whole, anyone who has lived here long enough would recognize this as a precursor to rain.
Wu Yan, Kotori, Tohka, And s.h.i.+ori walked on a street in Tengu city. They are currently heading towards the school. Tohka stayed by Wu Yan's side while munching away blissfully at a piece of bread. Wu Yan yawned as if he didn't get any good sleep. Kotori walked at the front of this group, she didn't look back once. Her usually cheerful demeanor is gone, instead, she looked awfully shy today, she kept blus.h.i.+ng for some reason.
The four of them continued in this awkward manner, s.h.i.+ori had her qualms about this situation but she didn't say anything.
When they are about to part ways, s.h.i.+ori got close to Wu Yan's ear in order to whisper something.
"s.h.i.+do, doesn't Kotori look a bit off today?"
"Does she?"
Wu Yan batted his eyes which are teary after he yawned. He replied with a question that did little to alleviate s.h.i.+ori's confusion.
s.h.i.+ori didn't mind. s.h.i.+do is always sleepy in the morning, she continued mumbling.
"Normally, Kotori would be all happy and cheerful, skipping while she walked is common for her too. Look at her, she's not even speaking let alone giggling. She's keeping mum and that's not like her."
s.h.i.+ori continued.
"Moreover, she didn't talk much or laugh at home too…"
Wu Yan examined Kotori and he saw how red she looked and he almost laughed out loud.
Kotori is probably acting like this because of what happened last night.
Last night, after Kotori recovered from her stupor, she blushed like mad and ran into her room to hide. She came out of her room in the morning only after s.h.i.+ori pleaded for her to come out. She's too embarra.s.sed to look at him in the eyes.
