The rain still filled the sky.
Hanamaru Hanabi's condition improved quickly, but she could only stay at home.
Every time Uesugi Sakura went to see her, she always stared blankly at the gray, misty sky outside the window.
This cold grayness made Uesugi Sakura feel as though she was about to disappear.
Clearly, it was just a cold, so why did he have such a feeling?
Perhaps it was because she hadn't smiled much these past few days.
In the gentle patter of wind and rain, Uesugi Sakura carried a plastic bag full of sweets and opened the door to the Hanamaru home with a key.
"Pardon the intrusion."
There was no response from Hanamaru Hanabi.
Uesugi Sakura changed his shoes at the entrance, and the leather shoes beside him indicated that Hanamaru Hiroki was also at home today.
Entering the living room, Mrs. Hanamaru was busy with lunch, while his father-in-law watched the news on the sofa.
