The days passed quickly, and even after a month, Ayaka had yet to come back. At first, Kai worried about her, but seeing there was no action from her family, she must have told them what she was going to do. Realizing that, Kai shook the thought away and patiently waited for her.
After all, knowing how her family was, they should have been the first to search for her. Instead, they acted like nothing happened even after he called them to ask about her. They only said Ayaka went for a training session but left any other information blank.
