Her mind somehow turned to stone, like if the gods had planned this or something, and she heard the words, "Uta, why don't you introduce yourself to him?"

Uta turned to the individual her friend Mitsuri was pointing at and just stood there dumbfounded.

Mitsuri placed a hand on uta's hand that was tightly gripping her handbag and asked, "Hey, you okay?"

The back of her neck heated and her pulse started to betray her.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she looked back at her best friend and sat down.

She says with a hesitant laugh, "Sorry, I'm just weary, that's all."
"I'm uta, you?"
In her entire life, she had never felt this ashamed.

He introduced himself, "Yoriichi Tsugikuni, nice to meet you, uta," which made her believe that he was being passive aggressive toward her.

She was so embarrassed and ashamed that her back and ears were burning. She pondered whether the man knew about what had happened in the park or even cared, given that his demeanor remained unchanged.
She was even more ashamed that she was the only one in pain here.
Or so she believed.

Yoriichi was thinking of ways to avoid looking at her and trying not to appear disrespectful; he felt just as uncomfortable as she did, but it was hard to tell from the way he was acting.

It wasn't exactly the warmest interaction to throw a man to the ground till his hand bled.

Uta had placed her order and was currently waiting.
When Mitsuri caught a sight of her friend, Uta, she kept looking back to see whether she was alright, but she was always fixated on Yoriichi.

And whenever he would give her a glance, she would look away.

She relaxed with her chin in her palm and watched Uta's emotions and actions.
She had a humiliated, worried, or even anxious appearance.

She indicated there was something wrong or incredibly dumb going on with them.

by slightly furrowing her brows, she tapped her friends shoulder.
"Uta uta"

She turned to face Mitsuri, her cheeks feeling somewhat warm and her ears crimson at the tips.

"What's going on with you and yoriichi-san?"

She was a little startled.

"Was it really so obvious?"
She shook her head.

Mitsuri is aware that she should keep her distance but asks, "Is there something wrong? Did something happen?" If the situation is serious, she must act gradually.

She fidgeted her fingers,
"NO-no, it's nothing." Her touch was soothing, but her hands appeared to be perspiring.

"It's just,...y'know" mitsuri raised a brow

"What do you mean?.."

"I might've met him before"

"Might've?"

She laughed awkwardly to hide her humiliation.
They were whispering to cover their conversation at this point because it appeared someone may overhear them.

"I need all the details."

"Why should you know?"

"I should support you if something serious happened, because I'm your friend."

"Nothing happened t all, I probably forgot about it."

It was clear to Mitsuri that she was lying, so she was skeptical and had some self-doubt.
"Please make an effort to remember."
