"You are beautiful, son." said Nanami as she touched Sienna's right cheek, implied a deep sadness and longing of Nanami's self that was clearly visible in Sienna's eyes.
"S-sou desu ka? Arigatou gozaimasu.." replied Sienna with her awkward smile
"Now you rest first while tidying up all your belongings" Nanami said as she patted Sienna's shoulder gently
"Wakatta desu."
"Sienna, Nanami Ba-san and I are going to the living room. If you want to catch up, just call me? I already knew you would get lost." poked Izumi while sticking out her tongue
"Mou doused yo." Sienna pursed her lips flat
"Ahahaha Suman, Suman.. Bye bye~"
Then Izumi and Nanami left, leaving Sienna at the door of her room. Sienna waved her hand then silently pensively in front of there, motionless and unshifting her blue suitcase. He looked down at the floor with a blank look.
"Young-san... Aitakata.." Sienna tried to hold back the tears that had already welled up in her eyes
*talk: I miss you
Two minutes later Sienna shook her head and patted both of her cheeks hard enough to leave a reddish mark on both of her cheeks. He looked in front of him with great seriousness.
"Dame yo!! I can't think about my personal feelings, it'll hinder. Come Sienna. You have to be excited! For your mother and your two sisters!" said Sienna who was encouraging herself. Then he immediately brought his suitcase into the room and closed the door.

"Oi, you said you wanted to eat something, right?" asked Naoki with an annoyed face, he glanced at Ryuuga who was walking beside him
"Hn. Why?" ask Ryuuga
"What's this?! You just took me around from earlier! We've been through a lot of places to eat, are you crazy? What the hell do you want?" babble Naoki with annoyance. While Ryuuga just throw away his face and do not care about his words.
"Just go home."
"Huh?! Whatchu mean?"
"If you're tired, you better go home. I don't want to hear your complaints" said Ryuuga, who made Naoki sculpt. He was surprised to see Ryuuga's change in face. For some reason at that time he could see the sadness on Ryuuga's face very clearly. Naoki already knew that Ryuuga was hiding something so he just went around.
"Well.. What are you doing? Any problem? It's only right that you were so unclear from now on" Naoki said with a heavy sigh.
"No. I'm fine."
"It's good that you doctrine yourself with the words 'fine' but you also have to remember, there are times when you have to let go of your burdens so you can make those words for yourself." said Naoki while looking straight ahead, Ryuuga who heard the words from Naoki immediately turned his head with a surprised face. Yeah, how not? This was the first time Naoki had said anything proper.
"Eh."
"Then?"
"You're also a smart person. You know humans are social creatures, right? I've grown up with you, we've been friends since we were 4. Do you have the heart to let me always know your problems from others? I'd be so grateful if I heard it right out of your mouth." Naoki continues to advise Ryuuga to realize how much he cares for his playmates.
"Stop your rant. I know you're not stupid."
"You mean?"
"You already know all the problems of my life and I don't need to explain anything anymore" he replied flatly
"Eh? So sure of you. I just know your problem isn't you. I want to know what you're feeling, after all."
"I don't feel anything." she replied
"You crazy? If you can't feel anything, you can't show such a sad look, you won't feel any emotion at all and at anyone, you won't feel lonely and look for another outlet that will only get you worse."
"Know it. I hate it when you know everything about me." Ryuuga said as a cover for their conversation that afternoon. Ryuuga immediately breezed away and left Naoki who was silently sculpting. Naoki is still very surprised by Ryuuga's confession to him.
"What.. Just now she admitted to me..?" he murmured, he asked himself. Now he doesn't know what his heart is feeling. His feelings were stirring up and making him feel unhinged. Sad, happy, upset, and angry, all mixed up to make him feel strange.

"Nanami ba-san, looks like I should go home now. I've had many meetings with friends and lecturers." said Izumi who was getting ready to hold her small bag on the shoulder.
"Souka's? Alright then, be careful huh." Nanami said with a gentle smile.
"Ne, ba-san? Can I ask you one thing?" izumi asked while whispering near Nanami's ear
"What do you want, Izumi-sama?"
"Ba-san I want you to take good care of Sienna. He's a very valuable person to me." said Izumi
"That's your request? I will gladly fulfill, Izumi-sama." said Nanami with a knotty smile
"Hontou ni?! Arigatou, ba-san." Izumi hugged Nanami tightly and then took her off, "Huh.. I want to see Ryuuga again after all this time. But yes, because Sienna is here, I will often play here." said Izumi with a sigh
"Very good decision~"
"Hehe."
Suddenly someone appeared with his big suitcase in the back. Nanami was very surprised to see that person. Izumi frowned confusedly then she turned around and was surprised.
"Tadaima~" greeted the man with his sweet smile
