Here we go:
1984 was a very unique year for Kaori, she was repositioned at the East German Austrian boarder 4 years after she started there, although this time as a commander.
She was really sent there to spy on people trying to escape the country via Austria, although there weren't many defectors, it was a really boring and tedious shift a majority of the time with Kaori as well as some higher ups complaining of their grunt like missions despite their ranks in the military.
However any complains weren't taken likely not just by the Stasi, but also from the KGB and they are known for not being very sympathetic in terms of dealing with defectors.
People many years ago would speculate this year would be the year of Ingsoc and big brother as George Orwell made us believe, instead it was the year of Macintoshs and Dan Marino.
Meanwhile in present day
June saw the holidays begin for Watari, Tsubaki and Kōusei, they had worked very hard in exams, Evan though they would get in their schools even if they fail as they were going to practical schools.
Kaoris parents had opened their first franchise in Tokyo and now their brand were now one of the biggest in Japan and for them they realised without Kaoris medical costs, they could live the high life although Kaori will return very soon but no one but Kaori knows about it
