Night filled the sky, and tiredness loomed over the group. Asahina didn't want to go home; she couldn't. When she told  the rest of them, they looked at her.

"Maybe we can have a sleepover?", Ena said, scrolling numbly through her feed. "What? I'm looking for some things we can do."

Asahina mustered a fake smile. She then looked over at Kanade, who then kissed her on the cheek. That made her really smile. "If that's the case, I wanna be with Kanade", Asahina said.

Kanade blushed, looking down, and murmured, "Uh...Y-yeah...I'd like that..."

Mizuki finally spoke. "Well, what are we waiting for? I think we should give makeovers! Yuki, do you want me to fix your hair?"

Asahina had then remembered: She cut her long, lucious hair. It barely made it to her shoulder blades. She almost regretted cutting it if she hadn't remembered that it grows so strong, it'll grow back by the next few months.

"It's pretty like that" Kanade said, combing through it gently. 

The touch of Kanade's hand on her head made her heart flutter, as if it always would do that whenever Kanade touched her.

They spent the rest of the night talking about things, relationships and how they should work, parents, especially Asahina's, and exactly what they were going to do tomorrow.

As the rain poured down, Asahina's heart pondered on the same thing.
