Minako was back at her house.
To her disdain, the first person she saw was her sister, Rika. The woman was, for some reason, cheerfully talking with Tomoko and a blonde girl Minako didn't recognize.
Minako couldn't understand how this had happened. She had made sure that her sister's relationship with her daughters would be terrible. So how had things just... changed like that?
Tomoko was too stupid to realize her mistakes on her own. And Minako knew her sister was too shy and weak to confront anyone.
"This bitch..." Minako mumbled under her breath.
Etozawa, who stood by her side, felt her anger, and his heart sank. Up to that point, he had been the one carrying the conversation, since Minako had fallen silent.
"Did something happen?" Rika asked with her usual gentle smile.
"No, nothing," Minako answered, forcing a smile of her own.
