Chapter 87
【You started using the nighttime to meet with Mayuri after Yuko fell asleep.】
【Mayuri often had disagreements, so you took her out on adventures. The nighttime streets and parks became your favorite places to play, shrouded in mystery due to darkness and silence, which excited Mayuri.】
【When Mayuri was in third grade, a touring art troupe came to Ino County with evening performances. You had planned to go see their show with Mayuri, and the girl had been looking forward to it.】
【You stood her up. Yuko discovered your nightly outings and looked at you with uneasy eyes, staying awake all night, lying by your side.】
【She didn’t stop you, but you couldn’t abandon her, no matter her emotions.】
【You heard from your mother that Mayuri waited all night.】
【By the time you settled Yuko, the art troupe had left Ino County, and you missed your chance to make amends.】
【Mayuri stopped talking to you.】
【Yuko watched you more closely, making it increasingly difficult for you to meet with Mayuri.】
