The light streaming into the rest area was lively, and the gentle curtains by the bed swayed with the indoor light.
Everything remained the same, but on Hanamaru Hanabi's downcast face, there was no longer the radiant smile from noon.
She had no confidence in herself.
"Sakura, Sakura-kun... Hanabi... doesn't know what she should do..."
"Hanabi... is just an ordinary girl, she doesn't know what's useful about herself..."
"Whatever Hanabi does, she's clumsy and takes a long time to learn."
"Hanabi..."
Uesugi Sakura placed his index finger on her soft lips.
"Did something happen? Lately, I've felt that Hanabi is acting strange."
Hanamaru Hanabi hung her head low, her small hands intertwined, not daring to meet his gaze.
"It's because Hanabi is useless... it's only natural Sakura-kun doesn't like her anymore."
Uesugi Sakura squatted in front of her.
"Why do you always say these things?"
"Hanabi... dislikes herself very much..."
