Yoshida Aiko's vision blurred as tears began to form.
"Aiko-chan?"
She quickly put the letter and pictures back in her locker, cleaned her eyes, and raised her head to see who it was.
But from the voice alone, she already knew.
Pierre stepped forward. "What was that?"
Aiko opened her mouth to answer, but she faced ahead and opened her locker. Promptly, she transferred the items into her school bag.
"What's wrong? Why are you ignoring me?" Pierre asked and grabbed her arm.
"Get away from me!" Aiko shouted and wriggled her arm from his grip.
Ksh~
Her schoolbag fell to the ground, and some of the photos fell out, along with the letter. Aiko hurriedly bent down and zipped the bag up. And then, she faced ahead blankly, looking completely out of it for a few seconds.
Pierre's eyebrows furrowed. He squatted too and simply asked, "Were you threatened?"
His words shook Aiko, who was still traumatized by the events of the night prior.
