Sakuya's expression went from concerned to irritated in record time, the girl throwing yet another scathing glare at him. He sure liked to get under her skin, didn't he? She bit her tongue for the moment as she focused instead on Himawari, who seemed surprised to hear Noriaki's voice. The realization hit her as she looked up at him, backing away with her hands raised to her chest. The change from surprise to disappointment was as quick as Sakuya, albeit she took it much harder.

[color=lemonchiffon]"I'm sorry for my rudeness,"[/color] She apologized in a quiet, exceedingly formal voice, losing all her previous energy as she gave Noriaki a polite bow. Once she straightened, however, she looked up at him with teary eyes. [color=lemonchiffon]"I thought you were Nakano-senpai..."[/color]

Sakuya pulled out a handkerchief, offering it to her. [color=salmon]"Silly,"[/color] She gently chastised her. [color=salmon]"Why would you think that?"[/color]

Letting out a hiccup, she took the handkerchief and held it for a moment. [color=lemonchiffon]"They're both tall, and they both have dark hair, and blue eyes,"[/color] She finally spoke, looking back at Noriaki. [color=lemonchiffon]"My name is Natushime Himawari. I thought that...that Nakano-senpai came back, and that meant..."[/color] She trailed off, dissolving into tears. 

Sakuya's expression softened, though she pinched Himawari's cheek. [color=salmon]"Nii-san wouldn't want you crying like this,"[/color] She said gently, straightening up. 

Surprisingly, Himawari's tears ceased immediately, albeit she was still a little sniffly. She stared at Noriaki for a moment, frowning. [color=lemonchiffon]"I'm sorry, Senpai,"[/color] She apologized.

[color=salmon]"Apologize to Nii-san, Hoshino doesn't resemble him at all. Come on, I'll take you home, pretty sure your mother's wondering where you are,"[/color] Sakuya replied, taking her hand before deciding to address him. [color=salmon]"Don't think too harshly of her, she's been through a lot."[/color]

Both Oka and Sora were talking when Maki entered, albeit the pair fell quiet. Letting out a sigh, Oka gave Maki a wary look, unimpressed by her words. Sora was more open-minded, though he did throw Oka a look before deciding to greet Maki. [color=dodgerblue]"You must be Ito-san,"[/color] He assumed. [color=dodgerblue]"Thank you for coming! Nakano-senpai had a previous engagement, but we're here to welcome you regardless!"[/color]

[color=dodgerblue]"I'm surprised you bothered to show up at all,"[/color] Oka outright admitted, though she didn't linger on the thought for too long. [color=dodgerblue]"Going forward, you'll be part of the Disciplinary Committee. This includes logging and responding to students' complaints when it comes to issues that may arise."[/color]

Sora tried not to laugh but instead decided to err on the side of caution. [color=dodgerblue]"So, basically, you patrol the halls and if anyone comes to you, you try to help them,"[/color] He explained. [color=dodgerblue]"Simple, right?"[/color]
