That made Amasawa pause. They're here for me?
Even Tsukishiro found it strange. What did those two want with Amasawa?
But Tsukishiro quickly figured it out. Ayanokoji had noticed that Amasawa was helping him, so he'd come to thank her?
As Tsukishiro walked, he thought about Ayanokoji. He'd heard about him, so he wasn't sure whether Ayanokoji's change was a good thing or a bad one.

That was way too damn irresponsible.
He was worried—worried that there would be more and more people like her in the future. If that happened, even trying to live a peaceful life might become a problem.
