At least something different happened today, Mitsuo thought, touching his fingers to his lips where Hasunuma had kissed him. He studiously ignored the fact that someone had collected all the pillows in the dorm into a neat pile before he and his classmates had awoken, he had hiccupped one hundred times in a row, had been completely convinced that he was going to die as a result of this, and been visited by a god.
