"She's been really kind to me," she continued, fishing a handkerchief out of a desk drawer and proceeded to dry her eyes with it. "Kuroe-chan went with me to Mirai-" She caught herself. "Imaizumi-san's practice. I had a feeling I shouldn't go there alone after what he said about me on the network."

Miyume colored a little at the embarrassing memory. She really would have preferred Mirai not broadcasting their troubles to the whole school. Of course, she'd been just as careless with her own improper behavior. People couldn't talk about a girl that gave them nothing to talk about and she'd given them plenty, it seemed.

"I'd asked him for a break. Things were getting so serious so fast and I'm sick." She sighed. "I didn't think he'd go public. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable."

Miyume made no attempt to apologize for 'them' as a unit. It'd be best for everyone if she stopped thinking of them as partners, especially after he'd so callously betrayed her trust and treated her with such disrespect.
