Chapter 32 - mentor's duty
Seeing Junpei always makes you immeasurably happy. Not just because you genuinely like him, and enjoy spending time with him, but it feels like an affirmation of sorts. The moment he
isn 't
by your side is when you feel the most anxious. You feel tempted to spam him with messages, every chance you get. You live in constant fear that he might somehow run into Mahito, even if he avoids the movie theater altogether. You know it 's counterproductive to let your anxiety get the best of you, but you really can 't help it. Especially now that Mahito has already made his appearance.
At this very moment, though, Junpei is safe. You can
see
that he 's safe. He 's here, right in front of your eyes, and thus, your smile is as bright as can be.
Except Junpei doesn 't smile back.
