Mori Ran's face immediately darkened at those words.
Darkened frighteningly.
Fujino could imagine it—or maybe he couldn't. He had never been through it himself, but he could still understand Ran.
Suzuki Sonoko's mouth twitched as she awkwardly tried to comfort her. "Um, Ran, you... well... anyway, just... calm down."
"Sonoko, I'm very calm." A smile suddenly appeared on Ran's face, but paired with that dark expression, it looked bizarre.
Her face was adorable, yet terrifying.
Clearly, Ran was not telling the truth.
It was like how people did not recognize their own state when they were emotional. Whatever they said was usually the opposite.
