I love you more than I did before

After the waltz, Sumire felt drained, so many people congratulated her and swarmed her. She somehow managed to slip away, but she knew they were still looking for her. 

It was a good thing she managed to slip away since right that moment; she felt sick. 

'I should have prepared for this.'

After all, for the past few days, she hadn't been in the best of state. Sumire managed to go outside and headed to the outdoor sink area. She turned the faucet on and watched the waterfall; she lifted the sleeve of her dress to reveal the red wound. 

It's happening again; it's happening all over again. It was going to happen; it's only natural it would happen with such a nightmare like that. That and Sumire lifted her arms; she has become so frail. Even wearing a dress like this won't be enough to hide it. 

Unfortunately, she cannot just go home without saying anything to Hino. Hino is most likely with the other reporters. 'I don't feel like doing an interview.'
