Come to think of it, she may have been

the one on his first day that told him not to hold back and rely on

her as much as he wanted. That was why she would impatiently grab

Tatsumi’s white cane as he tried to find his way around.

—No,

not over there, over here!

She

would yell loudly all of sudden near his ear, and pull his white

cane. A white cane was like a substitute for his eyes, and sometimes

was used like another leg. If someone were to grab it without

warning, he could lose his balance. That’s why instead of asking

someone to hold his hand to show him the way, he would ask for their

arm. That way was much more stable for him. Being blind made even

losing his balance terrifying for him. That wasn’t limited to falling

onto smooth ground either. Shaken up by being yelled at all of a

sudden, and having his white cane grabbed from him so roughly,

Tatsumi reflexively shook her hand away.

“……huh?”

Feeling

as though that was extremely rude behavior, she raised an annoyed

voice quietly to herself. It was too late for him to feel bad about

what he had done.

“Sorry for trying to help!”

She

said with an indignant tone before she would listen to Tatsumi’s

apology, and left.
