There was not much time left before class began...
In the hallway, uniformed students streamed toward their classrooms in a vast tide, all moving in the same direction. Only Wu Yan and Tobiichi Origami walked against the flow, heading the opposite way beneath the curious gazes of the surrounding students...
The two said nothing along the way, maintaining their silence as they walked against the crowd. Only when they reached the stairwell did they leave the stream of students behind, climbing the stairs until they arrived before the tightly locked rooftop door...
As if they had agreed beforehand, Wu Yan and Tobiichi Origami stopped at the same time. With perfect tacit understanding, they turned to face each other. If anyone had seen this scene, they might have thought one of them had brought the other here for a confession.
That was, if they ignored the grim expressions on their faces...
The noisy voices of Raizen High's students still echoed in the distance, reaching their ears clearly. Yet at that moment, both of them had selectively shut out every sound. Though they were less than three or four flights of stairs away from the crowd, the place had strangely become an isolated space of utter silence...
Looking at Tobiichi Origami's doll-like, exquisitely beautiful face, Wu Yan could not help thinking, It would be nice if she could smile. Of course, that thought vanished in an instant. Wu Yan knew that making Tobiichi Origami smile was even harder than making Ikaros smile.
After all, Tobiichi Origami carried a burden that an ordinary high school student could never bear.
Hatred!
And that hatred had completely erupted when she saw Kotori yesterday!
