Honoka was still nervous around other people except for Umi. Sometimes she's able to interact with Kotori and other people but she still has trouble opening up to people because the lack of trust that she has in people. She's been trying to change but nothing she tried was working. She was starting to believe that changing was not possible.

Honoka was in the kitchen waiting for breakfast to be made. Umi's dad saw her there and decided to talk to her. He put his hand on her shoulder to get her attention. Before he could say a word Honoka screamed and grabbed his wrist and threw him over her shoulder. Umi's dad groaned because of the pain but he was able to shrug it off.

When Honoka saw who it was she immediately tried to apologize.

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry" Honoka stuttered

"It's fine. I scared you so it's fine" Umi's father said

Honoka reached a hand toward Umi's dad but she took it back when he reached out towards her hand to grab it. He could see just from the look on her face that she was still afraid of other people. He was amazed that his daughter was able to gain her trust in such a short amount of time. He got up himself and started to make some breakfast.

Honoka waited and then she felt another hand on her shoulder. She got scared again and screamed again. Took the hand that was on her shoulder and threw the person over her shoulder. She saw that she just flipped Umi's mom.

"Ouch" Umi's mother said

"S-s-sorry" Honoka stuttered

"It's fine. I'm okay" Umi's mother said

Honoka felt really bad because she just hurt the two people that took her in. She also revealed that her family originally used her for other things other than torture. They would often force themselves on her. In other words her entire family raped her. The actions of her family caused Honoka to not have trust in anyone. When she told them they were livid and horrified that a family could treat someone like that. Umi's parents asked their daughter how she was able to gain Honoka's trust in such short time. Umi said that she was able to gain her trust by rescuing and protecting her from bullies. But she also said that Honoka didn't even put all of her trust in her, her own girlfriend.

Honoka was waiting for Umi to show up and then she felt a pair of arms wrap around her. She screamed again and flipped the person behind her over her head she heard thud and looked to see that she just flipped Umi. She was upside down against the wall. Honoka was horrified that she just hurt her own girlfriend.

"S-s-sorry! A-a-are y-y-you o-o-okay" Honoka stuttered

Umi was a little dizzy from that throw but she was able to respond to Honoka's question.

"I'm okay, don't worry" Umi said

Honoka felt guilty about hurting everyone in Umi's house. But she couldn't help it since she kept her guard all the time.

Honoka and Umi were at school and no one approached Honoka since she was always with Umi. No one ever messed with her since she was a known marital artists in the school and the bullies knew that they stood no chance against her.

Kotori saw both Umi and Honoka together. She approached her friends and greeted them.

"Honoka! Umi! Good morning!" Kotori said

"Good morning Kotori" Umi said

"Good morning Umi" Honoka said

Honoka was already behind Umi. Kotori saw this and was hurt to see that Honoka still wasn't comfortable around her. Umi did tell her that the process would be slow but that make any less painful. But she hid it since she understood that Honoka has been through so much. Kotori's pain was nothing compared to Honoka's pain.

"Well aren't you three lively this morning" A voice called out to them

They turned around and saw that it was the vice president, Nozomi Tojo.

"Vice president Nozomi? What are you doing here?" Umi asked

"Please just call me Nozomi. I just got here myself" Nozomi said

Nozomi then shifted her eyes to Honoka and saw that she was still very clingy to Umi. Ever since Honoka's suicide attempt both her and Eli have been trying to find the bullies in the school. So far they've only been able to catch a few of them but most of them were still hiding in the school somewhere. The bullies that they managed to catch were expelled, suspended or got detention.

Nozomi saw Honoka stiff up. She was able to turn Umi around and make her face Nozomi she wouldn't have to. Nozomi was amazed that Honoka's strength was able to force Umi to move.

"Honoka, you remember me don't you?" Nozomi asked

"Honoka only nodded. She was way too shy to talk to Nozomi.

"Then you have nothing to be afraid of" Nozomi said

Honoka didn't move from her spot. Eli made an appearance.

"You probably scared because of your washi-washi technique" Eli said

"Washi-Washi? What's that?" Kotori asked

"I'm glad you asked allow me to demonstrate" Nozomi said

Nozomi went behind Kotori and then she grabbed her breasts. Kotori squealed and her face was red.

"W-w-what are you doing" Kotori asked

"This is the washi-washi" Nozomi said

Nozomi started to rub Kotori's breast which caused her to moan. Umi was just watching this with a look of shock on her face. Eli clapped her hands to get Nozomi's attention.

"Alright Nozomi that's enough" Eli said

Nozomi let go of Kotori and went back over to Eli's side. Umi chose this time to speak up.

"Nozomi, are you saying that you did that to Honoka?" Umi asked

"Yes, I did" Nozomi said

Umi was amazed that Nozomi could say that with straight face. She could see that Nozomi had no regrets on doing what she just did.

"Why would you do that?! Of course Honoka would be scared of you. Even if she wasn't traumatized she would still be scared of you since you sexually harassed her" Umi said

Nozomi looked at Umi and smiled and did the washi-washi on Umi next. After Nozomi was done she saw that Umi's face was really red.

"W-w-what is wrong with you?! Why did you do that?" Umi asked

"You felt left out didn't you so I made sure that you got the washi-washi too" Nozomi said

"That's not the point! I'm trying to tell you that you shouldn't do that to people!" Umi said

Eli chose this time to speak up.

"Umi, I think you should just give up" Eli said

Umi looked at Eli with a confused look on her face.

"I've been trying to convince her to stop but nothing worked so I just let her do what she wants" Eli said

Umi was about to question Eli's decision but she didn't want to waste anymore of her energy since she needed all of that energy to protect Honoka. Umi's parents arranged her to be in every class that Honoka was in so she could protect her. It was almost time for class so everyone headed in the direction that their class was in.
