"Why aren't you eating dinner?" Taira Sakurako feigned ignorance. She had a natural buff for acting clueless, doubling the credibility of her act.
"Not in the mood to eat." Fushimi Roku turned over, with his back to Taira Sakurako, lying on his side on the tatami.
"What's wrong? Weren't you quite happy this morning?" Taira Sakurako asked.
Upon hearing this, Fushimi Roku suddenly sat up. He was in a stage of overthinking and suspicion. When he heard Taira Sakurako's question, he immediately thought of what she had said at noon, 'What if Tamako suddenly regains her senses? Once she realizes you're a lousy boyfriend, you're done for...'
"Did Tamako say something to you?" Fushimi Roku asked suspiciously.
So, the signs of a breakup were there all along, and he just hadn't noticed.
"Say what?" Taira Sakurako found it baffling, not knowing why Fushimi Roku suddenly pointed the finger at her.
