"Suzuki, please take us to that place."
"But young miss, your father said…"
"Forget what my father said about not letting me use that place again. There's no one living in it and it's the only private place I can bring Ruki to. We only have less than an hour so…"
With her eyes looking at us from the rearview mirror, Suzuki-san eventually nodded, "I understand. Please put on your seatbelts."
"Mizuki…"
"Shut up for a minute, Ruki. I won't let this rare chance pass. To save you time, I'll have Suzuki drive you to your school… Will you overlook my selfishness, this time?"
I tried to interject but was immediately cut off by her.
Compared to the first half of her voice that was riddled with her coldness, the latter half was filled with warmth as I watched her amethyst yellow eyes tremble as if it's holding back her tearglands from leaking out.
