Yuki's brow furrowed as she processed his words. "What do you mean?"

"Well…" Aki began, his gaze shifting to the ceiling as he tried to articulate his thoughts. "Arakan-kun just joined our class yesterday, right? Aoi-chan told us she didn't know him, but today, they came to school together like they've known each other forever. And she was even calling him by a nickname. Isn't that strange?"
