Private Higashikawa Academy.
Located on a small hilltop in the old district of Deep Mountain Town on the west side of Fuyuki City, it is a very ordinary school, except there are a few more magicians than usual.
At dismissal time in the afternoon, the setting sun slanted down, casting long shadows on the ground. Tohsaka Rin, slowly walking out of the school gate, was closely observing the back of the distant purple-haired girl, frowning slightly: "Why does everyone seem a bit off today..."
As someone who cares most about her sister, Tohsaka Rin naturally noticed Makoto Sakura's changes with great detail. It seemed to be a positive change; her smile appeared much sunnier, as if she'd let go of some heartache, becoming more cheerful... unlike before, when she seemed gloomy, like she was forcing a smile.
Of course—
A good change is still a good change, but it's just a bit too sudden...
Especially at such a crucial moment, it's hard not to make Tohsaka Rin feel worried.
