The reconciliation was there but not quite complete; this was the impression Uesugi Sakura had in the past few days.
Ever since that night, although Hanabi would acknowledge his presence outside, she basically still wouldn't talk to him.
When they met at school, it was just good morning, good afternoon, good evening... When they crossed paths washing hands, she at most gave him a shy, almost evasive glance, then...
Then said nothing and walked away.
It's frustrating. Clearly, she was the girl who made him experience the terror of women that night, but in the end, it felt like he was the one bullying her.
She's still staying at the Hanamaru household these days, and of course, Mrs. Hanamaru didn't mind, explaining to Hanamaru Hiroki that Hanabi just simply wanted to stay for a few days.
Though Hanamaru Hiroki somewhat noticed signs of a quarrel between the young couple, he didn't proactively point it out, going about his routine like usual, as if nothing had changed.
