It didn't take Tomoko too long to get back to him (ten minutes, at the most), though now she's carrying a smaller bottle containing the newt toes that she needed. She was looking pleased about her purchase though.

Seeing Ryusei where she left him, Tomoko thought about surprising him - and so she took a route opposite of the one before, intending on tapping him from behind. She could be very quiet in her approach, even when the store's atmosphere was already relatively somber. She grinned, then reached out to touch him.
