Morishige went out with Yoshiki to briefly chat over lunch. As they were walking, Morishige couldn't help but be a little nervous, despite him keeping his cool. They sat at a table and ordered. Morishige sighed, biting at the inside of his mouth.

"What should I do?" he asked aloud. Yoshiki gave him a concerned look and crossed his arms.

"Dunno what you're talking about," he said. "What's up?"

"I think Suzume and I should break up," Morishige declared, tapping his fork against his plate. Yoshiki choked on his water, spluttering.

"What?! But you an' Suzumoto are really close!" he exclaimed. "Are you crazy?"

Morishige looked at the blonde from across the table, clasping his hands together. "No. I just think that it would be better for us to split. I'll still be friends with her, of course, however..." He paused, trying to find the right words. "I think her relationship between herself and Shinozaki is much more important." Morishige could've sworn that Yoshiki's eye twitched.

"Huh, well, okay... I'm not into that lovey-dovey crap, so leave me out of it," Yoshiki bluntly stated, looking at Morishige in the eye. Morishige dismissed the conversation with a nod and they ate.

"Suzumoto," Morishige greeted, his hands to his sides as Mayu opened the door, giving him an inquisitive look. She looked so natural right then and there.

"Hm? What's up, Shig?" she asked. "Here, come in."

Morishige took off his shoes and sat down in the living room, quietly looking down at the ground before speaking up, looking over at Mayu. Her head was tilted to a degree and her beautiful green eyes were innocent and curious. "I believe that it's best that we split."

"Okay," she said slowly, furrowing her brows. She was taking this news surprisingly well. "Will you still be in my group for the trip to Nara?"

At the end of the school year there would always be a trip to some museum. The trip would last for four days. This year was the Nara National Museum. Groups had to be formed with at least three people, at least one of them being a third-year.

Morishige thought it out slowly, realizing that there really wasn't that much time left until the trip. "I'll make it work."

Mayu smiled, her eyes beaming. "You're an angel, Shig."
