章節 98: Returned to Her Home

As early as six in the evening the next day, Heisuke had been waiting at Kaagawa City train station. Hisaki was supposed to arrive at seven, yet he came early. Heisuke was among the crowds who came and went from the place.

This time, Heisuke rode on the bus. He didn't want to disturb Shuuya who was still busy visiting the relatives on his and Aino's sides. 

The traffics were bearable despite still being the holiday season.

Just yesterday, people all over the country flocked to the shrines to pay their respects and pray for a better year. Heisuke and Mrs. Saeki weren't excluded. They waited in lines in the cold yet, everyone bubbled with joy.

Because the mother and son didn't have any relatives, they just went around visiting neighbors and friends. Almost the residents of the apartment building were away. Like Hisaki, they hailed from other places.
