After a long pause, this story will finally resume too but I decided to up the rating to M because it's a rather heavy story. If you feel bad and/or uncomfortable then it's normal and I did a good enough job. I took my time to make as realistic as I could. I hope you appreciate my rendition.

Hachiman woke up with a hangover like feeling. He had a really tough night. After he and his sister somewhat made up a little last night, his mind was still in disarray. Conflicted, guilty, angry, insecure, Hikigaya didn't really know how to act from now on. He knew he wanted to apologize to Kawasaki and Yui, also Yukinoshita for being rude in the club.

He decided to go along with it and see how things will unfold since he had absolutely no idea how to approach things anymore.

Washing his face and brushing his teeth, he finally went to the kitchen where Komachi prepared him his breakfast as usual but the atmosphere was tense and still quite cold. Excuses or not, what was said has been said and what happened, happened. It will take time for their bond to be the same as before but this time for sure it will be stronger than ever.

They both ate in an awkward silence, having nothing to say to each other. They washed the dishes silently, looking at nothing in particular. Eventually Komachi was the first to say something.

"What will you do about the girls?"

"Like hell I know. I'll just follow the wave."

"I see..."

"Well, I'm off, see you this evening Komachi."

"A-Ah. See you." said Komachi quite surprised.

It was indeed surprising to see Hachiman going to school before her.

Hikigaya was wandering in the street, watching his feet. Not looking where he was going he bumped into someone at the corner of the second turn.

"M-My bad I wasn't looking where I was looking. Sorry."

"Jeez Hikio, be more aware of your surrounding..." Said the blond queen which is living close to the Hikigaya household.

"Ah Miura... Morning."

"Yeah morning, fancy seeing you for once. Are you sick or something?"

"Not that I know. I just felt like leaving the house earlier. Don't think too much about it."

Yumiko then came next to him to scan him. She brought her face close to the cheek she slapped yesterday.

"Oi, too close woman."

"Hmm seems like you have nothing much left. Lucky you, I can't say the same for me, my hand still hurts." She said showing him her still bandaged hand.

"Want me to apologize for something I didn't do?"

"Well I wouldn't be like this if a certain moron stopped being edgy and moody. Take responsibility, you'll have to write the lessons to help me."

"Ask your 'friends' instead. Teaching you Japanese and History is already a hassle. Don't burden me more than that."

They started to walk to school bantering at each other. Yumiko being two meters in front of the loner to keep a 'safe' distance to avoid misunderstandings.

"Anyway, how's Komachi? Did you make up?"

"Somewhat. It's not the best but better than nothing I guess."

"I see... That's good, I'm satisfied."

"Hmm?"

"Nothing."

"I see."

Soon enough, the both of them arrived at the school ground and went to their classroom separately like usual. Yumiko rejoined her clique, Hikigaya came without being noticed. He just glanced in Kawasaki's direction. Saki felt some dead fish eyes on her and looked back with annoyance, confirming it was Hachiman, she just ignored him.

Great, I really pissed her off. I hope she won't beat the shit out of me.

Hikigaya sat in his chair and greeted Saika who was still warm to him.

"Are you feeling better Hachiman? Your aura is less scary than yesterday. Seems like something good happened!"

Ah my angel. What would I do without you?

"We can say that, not the best but my day is better than nothing."

"Hope so! I don't like seeing you like this. I pray for you to patch things up with Kawasaki-san too. It's too sad seeing you act like this toward each other."

"Hmm? Well maybe? I'll see."

The loner glanced from the corner of his eye the clique, and he felt that something was off yet Miura was the same as always at first sight. Laughing and talking about fashion and gossips while keeping Tobe in check. All in all wasn't it a nice view to start a good day?

The lesson was about biology. One of the subject where Hikigaya was the worst at after math. It was interesting in his eyes, but he just couldn't get the explanations of the teacher. Miura seemed to be invested on her side.

Yeah, I guess that's to be expected...

Hachiman was sleepy, he just couldn't focus and felt his mind drifting apart.

To hell with science...

He woke up only when he heard the bell for the lunch break. Stretching himself from this good little nap. He quickly glanced at Kawasaki, Yuigahama and Miura. Kawasaki already went who knows where while he caught a glimpse of pink hair disappearing at the door frame. Yumiko however was in her seat. It was odd. The fire queen was not fiddling with her phone at all. She was answering to her friends who seemed as perplex as the loner. This sight was bizarre. Moreover, there was this uneasiness coming out of her, something was weighing on her shoulders.

Miura finally glanced at the stare she was feeling for a little while, both the queen and the creep stared at each other. Her green eyes were pale, they didn't have this fiery light anymore. Her irises were contracted so much that it was like my eyes, still not as unsettling as his. Hikigaya knew those eyes. Eyes that were tired of all the shit they see in this damn world.

He decided to acknowledge her stare and nodded to her before standing up and making a discreet sign to follow him.

"I'm sorry guys but I'm really not feeling well this morning... I'll go take some fresh air and get some medicine from the nurse..." Said Yumiko giving a half-truth to her friends.

"Are you sure Yumiko? You look pale, what if something happens to you?"

Ah Hayato, always so kind and yet repetitive. It's like I've already seen the same pattern time and time again. Not even your words can cheer me up.

"No that won't be necessary to escort me. Thank you for the proposition though. I'm just lacking a bit of sleep. Nothing dangerous."

The clique watched her with troubled expression, mostly Hina and Hayato who knew that there was much more but since both of them want to keep the fragile bond of the group intact, they decided not to pry further.

Miura stood up and left the room, soon enough, she saw Hikigaya who was surprisingly waiting for her.

"What do you want Hikio?" She said in a tired voice.

"You look awful you know? Like some dead fish eye guy close by."

"Shut up creep, I don't even have the strength to hit you..."

"I guess that's my lucky day then. Follow me."

Reluctant, she still followed him because she had questions roaming in her mind, and he was the only one being able to answer them. Hachiman stopped at the machine and decided to take two Max Coffee and a sandwich.

"Hey Hikio who told you I wanted a Max?"

"Drinking a bitter Black Coffee would be masochistic in your state. Also, what do you want to eat? Consider yourself lucky that I'm willing to buy you food."

"I'm not hungry!"

"I see." He said taking the same sandwich as him.

"I told you I was not hungry! Are you picking a fight?"

Yumiko held her head, the lack of sleep the hunger making her head ache.

"Now now, calm down Miura. You need to eat, I always eat this when i feel kind of down and I'm feeling down a lot." Said Hachiman extending the coffee and the food to her.

She sighed and accepted. After that they both reach Hachiman little spot and sat down at a reasonable distance from each other.

"So what do you want Hikio? It's unlike you."

"I should be the one asking that. Your eyes... They are definitely like mine now. And you aren't playing with your phone, something happened I guess? I won't pry though. Not my style."

Yumiko kept silent and opened her can to take a huge gulp of the sweet nectar which made her feel a bit light, but she still slumped her head down. Hikigaya took it as an affirmation.

"I see..." Was all he said.

"Why do you care anyway Hikio? You have better things to do with Komachi. You shouldn't have to take care of my problems."

"I somewhat made up a little with Komachi. It's still awkward and heavy but at least it can only get better and genuine from here on out. Though the real thing does hurt, at least it's not poisonous."

"What about Kawasaki?"

"I... I'm still thinking about how to approach her."

"She's hard to get close to right?" Said a thoughtful Miura glancing at Hachiman.

"Yeah maybe, I still have to handle Yukinoshita and Yuigahama."

"Hm hm."

They fell into silence and eat their food silently.

"Well that did not really help my mood Hikio. The Max was nice on the tongue though... Guess I'll go back. The others will get worried. Hope you get along again with those guys I guess. See you."

Hikigaya watched her stand up and go back into the facility. He had been thinking during the whole lunchtime that he knew all too well those eyes, and he told himself that if that was him, he would have loved someone to care about him. Someone to ask him if he was alright. Someone there to save him. But who was he to Miura Yumiko? Only but a pawn of the Queen. He should not step across the line between them, and yet he wanted to at least ask.

"Miura?"

"What is it?..."

"Are you alright?"

"Of course I am? Why would I feel bad haha! Silly!" She said with the brightest amused fake smile she could give.

Hachiman stayed silent. It was not for him to do anything. He was not even sure if there was something awful happening to her. Yet he felt a bad omen within his guts. He decided to shrug it off.

The break was now over and Hachiman managed not to sleep during the lessons, since it was the part of the day when History and Japanese was taught. He couldn't stop glancing from time to time at Kawasaki, Yuigahama and Miura.

Finally, the last bell rang. Time seemed to slow down for the loner. The time he had feared all day long was now upon him. He took the longest of time to pack his belongings into his bag. He saw Yuigahama and Kawasaki leave in a hurry without saying anything to him. Glancing one last time at Yumiko who was daydreaming, he sighed and went to the club as usual.

"Yumiko?"

She was brought back to earth by Ebina

"What is it Hina?"

"You were spacing out for a bit there. I tried calling you multiple times already. Are you alright?"

"Yeah yeah of course don't worry about me, I'm just dozing off. I'll go back home and have a long sleep to recover."

"Yumiko... We are friends you know? You can talk to me if something is bothering you."

"I-It's fine I told you, I'm just a bit sleep-deprived because of all the reviewing I've been doing lately."

"Is that so?"

Yumiko nodded with her fake smile. One that Ebina could tell the instant she saw it to be false. She, too, wears this smile often as well as Hayama. She wanted to be of help, but she remembered that if Yumiko was this distant from her it was her own fault for keeping her at arms length to never cross the line she fixed herself.

"Okay then Yumiko. See you tomorrow..."

"See you..."

Yumiko stood up and packed her belongings and left while Hina watched her go. Hayato came next to his bespectacled friend.

"Is she alright?"

"I don't think so. But she won't open up about it. Maybe it's time to drop the act Hayato."

He winced at Ebina's words and clenched his fists in his pockets.

Hachiman stood in front of the club's door.

"This is it... No more chance to get cold feet."

He took a long breath and exhaled the exceeding air. He then opened the door and was met by the eyes of not 2 but 3 girls. Kawasaki Saki, Yuigahama Yui, Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Hikigaya-kun, we need to talk." Said the ever so cold Yukinoshita.

"Yes Hikki, you haven't been your normal self lately."

"Hikigaya..." Said Saki looking at her feet.

Please don't make that face...

"I figured as much." He said taking the chair facing the 3 girls.

Hikigaya was a wreck, he was on edge. The pressure was enormous, he felt intimidated like never before. He actually feared what could result, but he had to take responsibility.

"Sorry."

The girls were surprised of his initiative to apologize.

"I'm sorry for lashing out at you when you didn't do anything wrong. I was being unfair. I was selfishly keeping my problem to myself instead of telling what I was going through."

"Hikki..."

The black and silver haired girls watched him intently not betraying anything on their face.

"I can let it slide on my side Hikigaya-kun but the person who has been hurt the most here is Kawasaki-san."

"You're right... I was dishonest. Kawasaki... Sorry for pushing you away. I know you meant good but please understand that I am not comfortable with physical touch. Yet I don't feel like I deserve your forgiveness for how I treated you. I'll do anything you tell me to make it up to you." He said bowing his head down.

"H-Hrm!..." She wriggled in her chair.

"I-It's fine, though it really hurt me ya know... I just wanted to be the one to help you this time. I can't just forgive you yet... It's still cay too fresh... I'll think about your proposition."

"Now Hikigaya-kun tell us. Talk to us. That is our request. We want to know. We want to help you." Said Yukinoshita with the kindest smile she ever gave the loner.

"I-..."

"SENPAI!" Yelled Isshiki barging in and grabbing him by the shoulders while reaching him like a rocket.

This time the atmosphere wasn't funny. The girls glared at her and she winced.

"Isshiki-san... Can't you see that we are in the middle of something important. I ask that you kindly leave for now. Am I being clear?"

"Y-yes... S-Sorry for barging in... You alright Senpai?" She said worried.

"It's fine Isshiki, just don't startle me like that again. I'll be fine."

"If you say so..." Reluctantly she left the room but the 4 inside knew she would eavesdrop. They all sighed.

"As I was saying... My relationship with my parent isn't the best you know? I basically never see them much except sometimes on the week-end. And even when we can spend time together we have nothing to say to one another. My mother. I know she is trying to reach me sometimes, but she doesn't know what to do anymore. My father... He has always been harsh with me. Saying that I needed to be a man and obey."

"I mean, it's kind of a habit now. It has been several years now. It's how things are but it's heavy to bear it to myself sometimes. I just want my parents to talk to me. I'm not some ghost. Then comes Komachi. I know what I may have said to her was cruel but it was the truth. I hate her for stealing all the affection of our parents. It's like I was a cockroach in my own house. Something shameful only useful to brag about because he managed to get into Sobu..."

"I patched up with Komachi yesterday. It felt good to be able to say all we had on our heart but still, things won't ever be the same. It's heavy but at least it's real."

"Hikigaya-kun..."

"Hikki..."

"Hikigaya..."

"Now you know the gist of it. Complicated huh? I don't want to bother you with my shitty life after all. But I wanted to be honest."

"It's not bothering us Hikki. We want to help you and support you but we can't do that if you don't open up to us. Now we can."

"Yes Hikigaya-kun, if you ever need someone to talk to you can count on us. We are here, you're not alone any more remember that."

"Thanks I guess..." He said scratching his head still being uncomfortable.

Yukinoshita stared at the door and massaged her temples while sighing.

"Isshiki-san you may enter now..."

The little fox shyly open the door and came close to Hikigaya with a sad face. She puts a hand on his shoulder and talked in a quiet voice.

"So that's why you were strange yesterday?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, you can count on me to comfort you then senpai..." She said while hugging from behind to which he winced.

"I-Isshiki!"

The sight made the others annoyed, particularly Saki who pouted after averting her face.

"Iroha-chan! Stop that!" Said Yui shaking her arms and screaming with red cheeks.

"This is rather uncalled-for Isshiki-san." Said Yukino glaring at Iroha.

"But a hug always helps to south the mind." She answered as serious as she could be.

"Isshiki please, remove your arms. I don't like physical contact."

"Ok..." She said removing her arms from him and taking a step back.

"Shall we share a cup of tea then?"

Everyone nodded.

Yumiko was walking in the street and people were avoiding her, they got scared of her eyes. They had bags and they looked lifeless. She would not resent them because she knew that she was a poor sight to the eye.

The reason was her parent. Those creatures calling themselves parents and abusing her mental sanity by burdening her with expectations she had never agreed to follow. She never wanted to be a top student. She never wanted to be like them. She had her own dream. Being a businesswoman did not attract her in the slightest nor being a model like her mother wanted. The only thing Yumiko wanted was to be able to choose freely what to do, and she wanted to take the medical course.

Her biological father, the first husband of her mother was a kind man. He was a developer and a humble man. He had no real big dream. All he wanted was to make his family happy and living a simple life. He was a good father.

After a long aimless walk, Yumiko entered her house and as usual and to her relief, they weren't there. Throwing her bag who knows where, she just went to the fridge to drink a glass of water but her eyes caught something purple on the table in the kitchen.

Her eyes widen. Her whole being started to shake. He legs felt weak, and she had to lean on the table not to fall on her knees. Her shaking hand tried to desperately assemble the broken pieces in front of her. Her phone was broken in multiple part.

"No... No no no! NO! NO NO NO! NOT THIS! ANYTHING BUT THIS PLEASE!" She screamed while her eyes let waterfalls of tears stream down her already tired face.

There was a word next to it

- This way you won't feel the need to take it back. It's your punishment for being a bad student. Your Father -

Yumiko let herself fall to the ground and cried, sitting at the side of the table, she hugged her legs and buried her face in her knees.

"This was the last thing I had! This was the last thing I had! This was the last thing I had! This was the last thing..."

She kept on repeating this sentence over and over again. The trauma this sight caused her reopened some old wound in her mind and her heart. This was the one thing she didn't want to happen. School, parents, mental abuse and now this. Miura snapped. She had reached the limit of her mind capacity, and she fell asleep out of pure fatigue. She blacked out.

Hachiman was drinking his tea and chatting from time to time when he felt like it with the girls. Saki had already left because she had things to do in her complicated schedule, Isshiki had left too. It had been a good 45 minute that they were.

He had one question on his mind and couldn't think about anything else. His stomach was in shamble too. He felt uneasy, something was wrong.

"Yuigahama?"

"Yes Hikki? What is it?"

"Has Miura said anything weird to you today?"

"Yumiko? Hmm... I don't think so. She was weird but you know that already. She was so tired and her eyes were lifeless just like you. Gh?! Hikki did you do something indecent to her?!"

"Cut it out with the jab at me. Just a hunch that something isn't right."

"Yes but what can we do if she won't talk to us..."

Hachiman looked at the roof of the room and made a decision.

"Yukinoshita if you may excuse me, I have to go. I have a real bad feeling about this."

"What makes you say that Hikigaya-kun? On what basis are you making this supposition?"

"Just a hunch..." He said looking at her straight in the eyes. Those eyes conveyed a deep fear to the Ice Queen who just silently nodded.

"Thanks." He said leaving the clubroom in a hurry.

"What is it Yukinon? I'm starting to get worried about Yumiko there!"

"I-I don't know but Hikigaya-kun's eyes. I've never seen such fear before in one's eyes. I really hope it's just a hunch of his. Can you text Miura-san just in case Yuigahama-san?"

"I-I'll try!" She then dialed Yumiko's number instead of sending a message to get a direct answer.

Beep

Beep

Yui turned pale, her hand was shaking around her phone.

"S-She isn't answering!"

"Maybe she is busy at home. No need to get so worked up without any clear proof."

"No no no Yukinon that's really strange! Yumiko has never missed any calls we made between us so far! This is definitely weird! I-I have to go!"

"I would only slow you down with my poor endurance. Keep me informed of the detail Yuigahama-san. You may go." Said Yukinoshita with worriedness in her eyes.

Yuigahama stormed out of the room leaving Yukino to herself.

"I hope this was just a hunch of his..."

Hachiman was running like he never ran before. He didn't take his bike this morning, so he had to use his legs to their fullest. He really hoped that it was just a hunch.

Yumiko woke up from the ground, lifeless, tired, she wasn't feeling anything.

"Urgh..."

She tried her hardest to get up, using the table as a support. She directed herself to the bathroom and looked at her own reflection in the mirror.

"I'm tired... Why do I keep this up... I can't anymore. I'm way too tired. I just want to sleep and wake up from this bad dream."

She opens one of the cupboard containing some medicines her mom used from time to time. After a quick look she found it, the Restoril (Temazepam). A medicine against insomnia. Taking the pills, Yumiko went back to the kitchen and served herself a glass of water and swallowed some pills without reading the notice. She didn't care. What she wanted was to sleep for good.

She waited a bit but the effects weren't coming she then remembers that the old bastards was hiding some sake bottles. She found it quite quickly. She decided to take a handful of pills and swallowed them using the sake she had managed to find. It was a hot cocktail in her throat, she almost threw up, it was burning her mouth and slowly her whole esophagus. She coughed, she coughed a lot and some pills fell on the ground with some saliva due to the harshness of the alcohol. She then felt lightheaded the longer she waited. Yumiko let herself slide down the fridge until she sat on the floor.

"Ah... I feel real sleepy now, it feels nice... It doesn't hurt anymore. My mind is clear..."

her vision got blurry, Miura was drowsy and got dizzy. Her head felt light, she just wanted to sleep but she tried to keep her head straight. She felt her strength leaving her little by little.

"I feel so light... It feels nice... Finally, I'll be able to sleep..."

Some tears fell from Yumiko's eyes, she had a small resigned smile on her face.

"I'm coming dad..."

Hachiman managed to reach his street, and he remembered that Yumiko told him that she lived at the corner nearby, so he ran around each house to find the nameplate. He managed to find it rapidly, their house was quite fancy, it showed the wealth of this family.

He knocked on the door, no response, he knocked again and again.

"MIURA!" He yelled but nothing.

Getting tense he put his hand on the door's handle and tried to open it and it indeed opened, Yumiko forgot to close it. He was reluctant to enter but when he was about to act he heard a voice calling him in a hurry.

"HIKKI! Yumiko isn't answering her phone!" She said managing to get next to him after a long race. She was catching her breath.

"Yuigahama? What the? Ah no time for that, quick help me, the door's open!"

Both of them entered the house, it was way too calm.

"Yumiko?"

"Miura?"

They both called her name but no answer was heard. They decided to venture further inside in a hurry, and they finally reached the kitchen on their way and Hachiman just stopped in his track, Yui bumping her head in his back in surprise.

"Urgh, Hikki why'd you stop?"

Hikigaya was frozen, he was shaking and his voice was trembling, sweat started to form on his forehead. Worried she looked at the same direction as him, and she saw the seemingly inanimate corpse of Yumiko. She yelled a scream so high that all the neighbors were surely alerted.

Hachiman was brought back to earth by the screech and ran in panic to Yumiko, he looked around and saw nothing dangerous, no blood, no knife. All he saw was pills and a broken bottle of sake. He put his finger under her nose and felt air coming out.

"Thank god she isn't dead!" he said.

Yui came to Yumiko's other side and put her hand on Miura's shoulder, shaking her a bit.

"Y-Yumiko! Yumiko, wake up please! Don't leave me!" Said the crying mess that was the airhead.

"Don't you dare do that to me!"

Her eyelids opened very slowly.

Yumiko was doing an overdose of medicine, she was so confused and dizzy that she couldn't distinguish anything and the voices were distorted in her ears.

"W-Who is it? Dad?"

Hachiman dialed the 119 in a hurry.

'Hello, what is the emergency?'

"Hello, someone is not breathing here. I suspect that she took a large amount of pills which are...' He looked around and found a box of pills 'Restoril pills, Temazepam and there is a bottle of sake on the ground"

'Okay we are sending someone to you, where are you?'

Hachiman gave them the Miura's address.

'How is the victim?'

"She is sitting on the floor and is really drowsy, almost asleep."

'Listen to me and do exactly as I tell you. This person is doing an overdose right now, this is only the first sign, she will soon collapse and her breathing will become hard. You will have to support her breathing using CPR. But first lay her on her back and then tilt her head back with a hand on her chin and pinch her nose closed. Then place your mouth like a seal on the person's lips and give 2 slow breaths. Her chest should rise and not the stomach, if the stomach rise, repeat the head tilt part. Then administer the CPR steps. Place one hand on top of the other and place it in the middle of the chest area then use your body weight to administer compressions that are at least 2 inches deep and delivered at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute. After 30 compressions, administer two rescue breaths and start again the compression until the person shows signs of life. If she stays unconscious, continue the thing until the ambulance is here.'

"Ok got it we'll do our best. Thank you."

When Hachiman hung up he saw Yumiko falling on the floor on her side. Yui cried and yelled out of fear. He on the other hand made his way to her in panic but still being focused on what to do. First seeing she feel, he checked her pulse and breaths. It was there but very weak.

Hachiman then rolled Yumiko on her back and freed her airway by tilting her head using the CPR method.

Yuigahama was in shock and frozen.

"YUI!" Yelled Hachiman to get her back.

"Y-Yes?!"

"Come here and put your hand in the CPR position on her chest and prepare for compression."

"I-I can't do th-"

"We have no time to waste damn it, she will die! If I do it with my strength and my weight I will probably break a lot of ribs!"

"O-Ok!" Yui said and place her hand in the middle of the chest, arched above Miura and knees on the ground.

"At my signal you will do 30 compressions 2 inches deep at a pace of 100 compressions per minute approximately. Do you best."

Hachiman then pinched closed Yumiko's nose and seal both their lips together and administered two slow breaths, her chest rose as expected. Yui was in a daze, the boy she loved putting his lips on her best friends lips.

"YUI GO!"

She snapped out of it instantly and started to do the compressions.

They both repeated the process again and again and again for what seems to be an eternity for the both of them. The Clock showed that they were at it for a good 10 minutes.

"What are they doing Hikki?! I can't anymore, my arms are killing me!"

"Then take a break and let me do it!"

Yuigahama let Hachiman push her gently and observed him do all the compression with a mixture of sadness, guilt, anger, fear and something else in his eyes. She never saw him like this. He was in turmoil.

"Damn it Yumiko wake up already! Don't you dare do that! Komachi will cry and I won't accept that!" He said, his voice trembling and tears starting to fall from his eyes out of desperation.

He continued alone to compress and administer the rescue breaths. The ambulance was finally close as they heard the alarm in the street.

The emergency doctors came into the house and surrounded the 3 young persons.

"Mister you can stop we will take the lead! You did all you could for now, leave it to us."

"No, Yumiko wake up!" hachiman was in a trance and continued like he was alone to apply the CPR.

The doctors had to grab him to stop him and take Miura to the hospital.

"Mister are you ok? Mister!"

"H-Huh?"

"Hikki! The doctors are here, they will take Yumiko to the hospital now, you can take a break."

"I-I can't do that. C-Can I come?"

"Of course, you can accompany her. Follow me."

Hachiman turned around and saw Miura's broken phone with the paper, and he felt a seething anger build inside him. Clenching his fists he took the phone with him and followed the guy with Yuigahama in his track. They entered the ambulance with Yumiko.

The door were then closed.
