Reflecting on this question kept Hojo Shouko silent all the way to the station, merely sipping her green juice bubble tea.
She glanced at the train and turned her head to say, "Aozawa-senpai, I'm going to head back first."
"Mhm."
Aozawa waved his hand.
Hojo Shouko stepped into the women-only carriage. She glanced around, found an empty seat, sat down, and placed the groceries she bought at her feet.
She looked at the green juice bubble tea in her hand; there was still a small half left.
Even when drinking absentmindedly, the habit of taking small sips meant she never consumed too much bubble tea at once.
Habits, huh, Hojo Shouko thought, glancing around the carriage at groups of stylishly dressed young women laughing and talking together.
There were also some older office workers sitting quietly, easing the fatigue of work.
Hojo Shouko pulled her gaze back; an answer suddenly formed in her mind.
Indeed, it's different.
