The next day, I spaced out in class until the lunch bell rang. Next thing I knew, I was walking aimlessly down the hallway. Confused and alarmed, I turned and looked back the way I’d come. Had I subconsciously followed after Shimamura like a homesick little Swiss girl yearning for the mountains? If so, I certainly didn’t see her anywhere. Oh god, what if she saw me stagger out of the classroom like a zombie?

Then I wondered: What floor was I on? I glanced out the window and determined from the view that I had to be on the second floor. That left one last question: Do I go to the cafeteria or return to the classroom?

It felt like I’d just caught myself sleepwalking. This was mildly concerning, considering the school building had a lot of staircases where I could fall down and break my neck. From now on I should try to restrict all zoning out to the first floor… Guess that’s easier said than done.

As I was debating whether to advance or retreat, a familiar face walked past me. She noticed me looking at her and turned back, her long-ish hair swaying with her movements. It was Hino.

“Sup, Ada-cheechee! Whatcha standing around for? Feeling lightheaded or something?”

“No, I’m fine.”

“Oh, are you waiting for Shimamura?”

Sadly, no, that’s not it either. “Not particularly,” I muttered under my breath.

Just then, it occurred to me that Hino’s other half was nowhere to be seen. I’d expected her to turn up by now.

“It’s not often I see you flying solo, either. Where’s, uh, Nagafuji?”

“Say wha…?!”

Hino glanced around sharply. Did she not notice until just now?

“You’re right… She’s not here! Normally she hardly ever loses track of me!”

What are you, her guidepost? I imagined Nagafuji wandering away into the sunset. It didn’t feel right. Then I imagined her wandering away into a candy store. Okay, now I see it.

“Well, I’m sure she’ll turn up at the cafeteria eventually. I’d better grab us a table.”

She seemed confident in Nagafuji’s homing instinct, but I wasn’t so sure. Right as Hino was about to walk off, however, she suddenly stopped short and beckoned to me.

“Wanna come have lunch with us, Adatsy?”

“Who, me?”

“You see any other Adachi-san standing around here? Anyways, I just figured you were already headed there.”

She flashed her pearly whites at me. With her short stature and frank, unreserved personality, she felt more like a little sister than a peer…but I knew she’d probably get mad at me if I said that out loud, so I didn’t.

“Okay then, I’ll tag along.”

Seeing as she might have the answers to my questions, I decided to accompany her. Was this our first time hanging out together without Shimamura? Come to think of it, yes, it absolutely was. In fact, it was my first time hanging out at school with someone who wasn’t Shimamura. Why? Because I never felt the desire to be around anyone. As for the reason behind that, well…I decided not to dig up the past. I didn’t have room in my brain for more worries.
