Mafuyu, do you have a minute...?

Yes...?

Mizuki gave me a pendant that supposedly “suits me perfectly” the other day...

When I tried putting it on, I dropped it by accident, and right at that moment the stone on top came off and rolled away.

What did it look like?

A teardrop with this beautiful mix of blue and pink colors. The stone's gradation was absolutely gorgeous.

Okay, I'll keep it safe if I happen to find it.

You will? Thank you, Mafuyu.

Oh, but please don't tell Mizuki. I'd prefer to keep the fact that I broke and lost a part of such a nice gift a secret.

You're thinking about how someone else is going to feel about what you did, Luka...?

Mafuyu, just what kind of person do you think I am? I'm not some meanie who hurts others for no reason.

(Plus, this has nothing to do with trying to get a certain someone to move forward.)
