After a few days of guilt stagnating within his mind, Kunikida wakes up early in the morning and heads over to school.

He goes over the previous lessons as an overview, evades the questions concerning his private life, and manages to get his students back on track with his schedule that he had written in his notebook so long ago. For once, Kunikida feels normal. And yet…

There is an air of uneasy silence. The students probably aren't highly aware, but there is an undercurrent of energy that thrums through the halls of the school, echoes throughout the empty alleyways in the city. Even though it is serene and peaceful, there is something so muggy and dreadful in the air that Kunikida does't feel his mood shift.

Hurriedly, Kunikida avoids the back alleyways of reclusive corners and makes his way back into his apartment.

Not for the first time, he wonders, did he really do the right thing?
