Miyume kept quiet during all the talk, though she seemed to smile slightly with relief when she was excused from exercises. She was only half-listening, her attention split between Ishichi's examination and the discussion. She answered the nurse's questions truthfully, careful to keep her voice soft so as not to disturb class anymore than she already had.

If Ishichi had acquainted herself with Miyume's file, the symptoms she complained of would sound very familiar but not as severe as ones experienced in the past. Fatigue, aches in her legs that rated a six on a pain scale of one to ten, her arms felt a little weak, and she'd been experiencing pins-and-needles sensations off and on since that morning. If Ishichi checked Miyume's reflexes, she would notice they were more sluggish than normal.

In contrast to previous classes, her eyes didn't stray once toward Mirai and it wasn't clear if she was even aware of the looks he kept giving her and Chloe. Miyume had, however, glanced briefly at Chloe long enough to flash her a small, reassuring smile.
