"Shirakawa..."
The girl's eyes seemed to be hidden with mist as she softly murmured, reaching out to gently touch Shirakawa Sawahei's cheek.
"You were just looking at me, right..."
"Why... didn't you look at me a little earlier..."
"..."
He had no way to answer this question, nor did he know how to answer it. All he could do was lightly hold the girl's small hand, transmitting his warmth through his palm.
Tsukimi Sakurazawa withdrew her hand, blinked, and softly said, "Shirakawa."
"Aunt Higashino said that the nights here can get very cold."
Shirakawa Sawahei paused for a moment, understanding the implied meaning in the girl's words, and immediately shifted his bedding, successfully letting the two of them snuggle together.
"This way it won't be cold," Shirakawa Sawahei knowingly said, "What do you think?"
"I think it could be a little colder."
