For a few minutes after I entered her room, the two of us soon talked about her return to school. Since tomorrow is Friday, Komoe told me that she decided to return to school on Monday.
Naturally, she asked me if I was serious about picking her up and escorting her to school. Even without admitting to it, it’s what tipped her over to be convinced by me.
With the prospect of gaining me as her friend that would shield her from being too paranoid about how her classmates would see her, the girl found that enough assurance.
And well, not to brag, but my improved physical appearance that she somehow grew fond of also made it possible. Although I had no idea if there would be another result if I came here pre-haircut, the effect of it certainly made my life both convenient and troublesome at the same time. It’s balanced if I must say.
