Noboru was surprised to be given a hug, by a person he didn't know very well no less. He realized the true intentions though when she slipped a note into his pocket. He quickly said goodbye to the others before going outside, as if to take a phone call. Looking at the note, he read through it. It said something about the shrine and meeting there. He took off running, just now realizing how hard it was to run in his new clothes.
