Hiro: "Good morning Noa."

Noa: "Morning..."

Hiro: "Did something happen? You seem a bit gloomier than you did yesterday."

- Yesterday...

Noa recalls the shape of Ayako's lips.

Noa: "No, just me being my usual dumb self..."

Hiro: "Dumb? So something really did happen. Must have been a rough first day of school."

Noa: "Nah, I'm just having trouble understanding girls."

Hiro: "Girl troubles already? You must be one smooth operator. Unfortunately, I'm not of any use on that topic."

Noa: "You kidding me? I'm sure you have several girls fawning and falling over themselves for you."

Hiro: "I'm not sure what you mean."

- You got to be kidding me. He's even more clueless than I am. I guess it's no use.

Noa: "What would you do if someone was sad and they asked something of you that was out of character for you."

Hiro: "I guess that depends. If it was someone I cared about I would do it, but if it went against my morals then I would try to find another way to compromise."

Noa: "Hmm..."

- I guess he's not that clueless after all.

Hiro: "Sorry if that didn't make any sense."

Noa: "Hiro."

Hiro: "Yeah?"

Noa: "Thanks."

Just then beautiful girl walks in to class. Noa notices her. She seems popular since everyone is greeting her.

The bell rings and the teacher takes roll.

- She definitely was not here yesterday...

Noa: "Who is she? "

Hiro: "Her name is Kazumi Auichi. She was absent yesterday."

Noa: "Kazumi?"

Hearing that triggers a warm nostalgic feeling within Noa.

- Kazumi Auichi. She does seem like a nice person.
