Inside the director's office, Shouko was served tea by Director Shinohara. The two ladies sat on the couch while talking to each other.
"I didn't come here only for a few days yet, Aimi has been picked up by her new parents?"
Shouko was surprised when she heard the news from Chieko whom she came across earlier. The young carer told her the good news.
"The Ishida couple was a bit anxious, they planned to welcome the winter at their hometown with Aimi," Director Shinohara was all smiles as she shared the news with Shouko, "They are very good, very kind. They funded a farewell party for Aimi and gave the children new books. They really live up to their reputation as teachers."
Shouko was so glad when she recalled the couple. She couldn't really remember their face since she had just met them once, but, they gave a pleasant vibe. It was really fortunate for Aimi to be chosen by the couple.
