Yeah I'm posting this again late at night. I won't be able to sleep unless I do it.

Flashback to a few days ago

Overseas outside of Japan, Ann is finishing up her remaining work, still thinking about when she will be able to return to Japan and visit her friends again. She's looking outside the door to the dorm room she's staying at, studying for her finals

Ann: ...

Friendly Female Student 1: Ann?

Ann: Huh? Oh sorry

Friendly Female Student 1: are you ok? You've been getting distracted a few times

Ann: I'm fine, don't worry, just other things on my mind

Friendly Female Student 1: You Sure you're ok? Our teacher is expecting us to finish our project if we're to graduate

Ann: I know, don't worry, we'll get it done and graduate happily

Friendly Female Student 1: okay, oh right you said you're going back to Shibuya in Japan after you graduate right?

Ann: yeah, I have people there waiting for me to come back, and I don't want to make them wait any longer... especially him

Friendly Female Student 1: Him?

Ann: nevermind, let's get back to work, we can talk about it later

Friendly Female Student 1: okay then

The student walks out as Ann sits there

Ann: I'm almost done here, once I'm done I can go back to Japan, I can see everyone again... especially Akira...

She missed Akira a lot. She still loved him but didn't let that distract her, most of the time

Ann: I can't thoughts of him distract me from this... does he even actually love me...? He didn't say he did when I asked him before... but he never did say no either... yet he definitely heard me, did he just not wanna hurt me due to what we were working on back then? I wonder if maybe his feelings have changed... I doubt it

Friendly Female Student 2: love problem?

Ann: AHH! N- no it's nothing, don't worry about it

Friendly Female Student 2: Who's Akira?

Ann: No one important, don't worry about it I'll be out in a second just let me get changed hahahahahahahaha

Friendly Female Student 2: (She's weird) *leaves the room*

Ann: I'm getting distracted, just get this done and I can see him again

She gets dressed to go hang out with some girls she promised to hang with today, but she keeps spacing out a bit

Ann: *spacing out*

Friendly Female Student 1: hey Takamaki, you ok? You're kinda spacing out with a sad face

Ann: I'm fine... just tired

Friendly Female Student 1: are you sure?

Ann: Yeah, it's nothing important... (it's very clear it is important if I keep thinking about it, and it's distracting me from doing a lot of things here) Let's just have fun ok?

Friendly Female Student 1: ok

Friendly Female Student 2: what kind of fun?

Ann: well the amusement park is close by, we can go to that
