Eraku (Y/N) is a loner that stays on the back on the class without talking to her fellow classmates. Back then, she is called 'Glass' from her middle school which eventually became a mystery to herself. She is seen as...

"Good morning, Era. I just want to ask you something. I heard from Kita that your school is going to hold a festival. Is it okay if I come to your school?"
"Good morning to you, too, Hiji-san! And, yes, definitely, you can! But, Hyogo is too far from Miyagi. You have practice, too... Wouldn't it be a bother for you?"
From the other line, Ushijima's eyes were wide in surprise. She... isn't stuttering anymore... He chuckled, making (Y/N) from the other line blush. A miniscule smile still visible on his face, he leaned on the wall of their gym. "As long as it's you, it is definitely not a bother. I'll come by tomorrow or the third day. We don't have practice these days since we can't participate with exams coming."
Ushijima's deep voice never failed to make shivers run down on (Y/N)'s spine. The gentle tone he used everytime he talked to her always calmed her down. Of course, (Y/N) doesn't know that Ushijima only speaks that way to her. She furrowed her eyebrows in concern. "I see... exams... It's before Inter-High, huh?"She wanted to see him again, but she wanted her friend to prioritize his studying."You don't have to come if you're busy, Hiji-san."
"No, I will definitely come. For you." (Y/N) blew a fuse. She bet that he was saying all those words with a straight face. "By the way, I heard from Sakusa that you got into an accident. Why didn't you tell me immediately? Is everyone from your team alright? Especially, you, Era. I know how selfless you can be, so... did you have any injuries?" He was being unusually talkative and emotional, surprising his teammates who were either standing and sitting close to him.
(Y/N) chuckled loudly, unknowingly earning wide eyes, blushes and gapes from her classmates. "Slow down, Hiji-san. The team is fine and I'm completely alright. There is no need to worry. I am now considered Inarizaki's guardian! I can handle myself!" She punched her fists at the side determinedly, her (E/C) orbs shining in excitement, causing her classmates to be shocked. Was this the same presenceless and stuttering Eraku (Y/N) they knew?
She softened, remembering her words to Aran. "There are times where I can't handle everything by myself will definitely come, so, if I can't, then... I will just have to rely on other people's strengths. Only a little though." Ushijima sensed something from her tone. And, it was confidence. He was so glad. She was finally having confidence in herself. "And, if it is alright, Hiji-san will be the first one to listen to my troubles!"
