Akira chased Kaito from the room before going back to her bedroom. She was a little excited and also a bit worried. On one hand, she was looking forward to going out with Kaito, but on the other, she had to admit she was afraid of the outcome.
She considered herself a self-aware individual. Therefore, she knew that the path she was taking could lead to a dangerous consequence.
However, she was enticed.
She did not want to give up on the feeling she had every time Kaito looked at her.
When she emerged from the bedroom, she was wearing a simple blue skirt and a white top. Even though the look was casual, the charm was unmistakable.
She found her mother in the sunroom, painting while facing the garden. She had a look of frustration as she held the brush over the canvas, hesitating. There was not a single mark on the white material,
"Mom, I am going out." She said.
