The sun shone through on Noboru's face. Waking up, he took a long shower, trying to forget, or maybe remember, yesterday. Stepping out of the steam, he wrapped a towel around himself and went back to his room. He took a few practice punches at the punching bag, lightly tapping it with each fist. He stepped out of his towel and changed into his school uniform, rolling up the sleeves so his arms could breathe. He walked by his siblings' doors, not bothering to wake them up, a little revenge for yesterday.

He reached the gates and waved towards Sato, who seemed to be standing there waiting.
