“Don’t worry about including me if it’s easier not to,” Tsubaki tried to reassure him. She could understand if he wanted to spend his nights with closer friends. If she were in Sora‘s shoes, she would probably appreciate having friends from home nearby when the sun went down. “Just so long as you’re not by yourself. Promise me you’ll at least go with someone!”

During the day was one thing, but night time was just too dangerous to take chances.

Tsubaki put on a smile. “I don’t have anything to do, honestly. I was just hoping to catch you sometime today to see how you were.” She hoped she hadn’t stressed him out by offering to come along like a pest. If her company was a bother, she wouldn’t take it personally. “I don’t mind, but go ahead if you’d rather I not.”
