Kokoro called me. Of course Niko thinks she is still at Chiyoda elementary school and not at Joshigakuin. That girl has a lot of fortitude. Being a Yazawa, she still fits her shougakko uniform. She's old enough to be part of the discussion, along with Mama Yazawa, my mother, me, the rest of Muse minus Eli, about how we tell Niko the truth. I want Kokoro to parcel out some things and then I want to tell Niko. I have Mama Yazawa's approval, so I just have to plan the time and method. The fact that "only I would tell her what's going on" is probably going to bring us closer. Kokoro and I have always gotten along extremely well. I am not so oblivious as I was, I think Kokoro had a crush on me for a while.
Niko and I met up at a kissaten. We planned our first tutoring session to be there tomorrow. Kokoro had already told me Niko thinks I have shakaiteki fuanshougai. I guess I can't blame her. I told her i would treat her this time. I think she thinks her socially anxious tutor came out of her shell a little and she was pleased. Of course it's awkward and I don't want to go too fast. I have finally gotten to where I can look at her in a wheelchair, though. So there is progress.
It was sad learning from Kokoro that Niko had dreams about the wreck. With all that she's forgotten, why would God let her remember that when she needs to sleep? I think after she's told the truth would be a good time to say her tutor will also help her with physical therapy when she's not at the hospital.
