Karuizawa Kei hadn't sent you a single message or called you during all that time. You were relieved, but also a little disappointed, though you had no idea what you were disappointed about.
At two thirty in the afternoon, just as you were feeling a little drowsy from getting up early and not taking a nap, a video call invitation appeared on the screen.
The first thing you saw was a profile picture of yourself making a heart with your hands. A second later, you realized it was Shiina Hiyori's new profile picture.
You remembered Shiina Hiyori saying that morning, "Let's video call sometime when we're both free." You hadn't expected the chance to come so soon.
With the time difference, it should have been around seven or eight in the morning in London.
You hesitated over whether to accept the video call.

Kitagawa Ryo chose to accept Shiina Hiyori's video call invitation. Perhaps he wanted to avoid facing the truth about Karuizawa Kei, or perhaps he simply wanted to see Hiyori again after so long.
