She wouldn't cry. She couldn't. So she kept her head bowed low, glad that her hair was covering her face. Because then he couldn't see her, and then she could go on and--
"I... I see." No, she didn't. But if he said that then surely he needed to go now, and Tomoko shouldn't be selfish at all. "I-I shouldn't be keeping you, Ryusei-san-- I c-can walk from here."
