"Ah," Nozomi halted when she almost bumped into the familiar blonde male. The latter looked at her in a bit of surprise as they meet once again.

Nozomi was going for a walk around their school after she went to a classmate's house to do their project when she stumbled upon Takajo Tsukasa, the blonde who is attending Oya High and the same guy who helped her before when she tripped.

After they went to Sannoh, the twins parted ways. They both have different partners for a school project and they went to both of their classmate's houses to do it.

"Hey," Tsukasa greeted with a small smile plastered on his face. Nozomi smiled and looked down for a second and then looked at him once again.

"Oh, shit," she muttered, making Tsukasa raise a brow at her. The girl ignored him as she opened her bag and searched for something.

She stopped when she found what she was looking for and looked at Tsukasa with a smile. She handed the handkerchief that he used to tend to her bruised knee at that time.

"Thank you for– you know, at t-that time..." she stammered as she couldn't find the right words to say. Tsukasa looked at her amusingly as he took the handkerchief from her hand.

"You're welcome," he told her. The two stared at each other's eyes for a while until there was a vehicle passed them by and made a loud beeping noise. Nozomi flinched and shyly looked down at her feet.

"I'm Takajo Tsukasa, by the way," Tsukasa introduced himself and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. He wasn't like this with many people but somehow it made him feel embarrassed when he was with the girl in front of her.

Just all of a sudden, he was conscious and worried about his appearance.

"I know. It's just I didn't know that you are him. I mean, I know you by name. So I didn't know you when w-we met..." Nozomi shook her head and laughed. "I'm sorry, I'm talking too much. I–I'm Nozomi. Odajima Nozomi."

Tsukasa lightly chuckled and nodded. "I know."

"You know?" Nozomi blinked confusingly.

"Yeah, it's just that I didn't know you're her. I mean, I know you because I met you before," Tsukasa smirked teasingly, making the girl playfully roll her eyes.

"Right," she stated and laughed along with him.

"So, are you from around here?" the male asked and the girl shook her head.

"I'm from Toaru City. I need to take the train," she said and gestured for the station that is a few meters away in their direction.

Tsukasa nodded his head. The girl started to walk but then looked at the blonde in confusion since he was walking with her.
