We returned from Kyoto and found ourselves sitting in the club, surrounded by silence. In my mind, I couldn't help but dislike this quietness.

Yui spoke up, breaking the silence. "Hey, everyone seemed normal today...," she glanced at me and her voice trailed off slowly. "...you know what I mean, right? It's like...everyone..."

Hachiman: *nodded in agreement.* "Yeah, it was as if nothing had happened just by looking at them."
Yukino chimed in with cautious optimism. "If that's true, then it's a good thing."

Yui: "You're right, but I was on edge the whole time. Maybe it wasn't something worth worrying about after all? Everything seemed completely...normal." She paused for a moment before adding with frustration in her voice, "I just don't understand what they're all thinking anymore."

Yukino: No one does. From the start, we had no real idea. There was no way to know, even if we know each other. Understanding one another is a totally different problem.
Hachiman: I wouldn't really worry about it too much. I also think it would be best if we all go back to normal.

Yui: Yeah, we should come back to normal.

Y/n: I agree with Yui.

Yukino: Normal, huh? So I suppose that is what you consider normal then? Are you saying you'll keep acting like this, using yourself as a sacrificial pawn? You just... *clenches her fists* ...I...

Yui: Yukinon...

Y/n: *covered my eyes (whisper)* I'm sorry...

*Knock*knock*

Miss Hiratsuka: Just me coming in. I wanted to ask a favor of you guys. Did something happen here?

Hachiman: No... So, you need something?

Miss Hiratsuka: Right. You can come in.

Meguri entered the room.

Meguri: There's something I wanted to get your help with.

Yukino: Oh, Shiromeguri.

A blond-haired girl entered the room.

Yui: Oh, hi there Iroha!

Iroha: Hey Yui, hi everyone.

Yui: Yahello! Long time no see.

I took a glance at the girl. She looked at me and smiled.

Yui: Wow, so you are a candidate for Student Council president?

Iroha: "Yes." *Looks at me then at Hachiman* "I bet you think I'm not really cut out to be the president, huh?"

Hachiman: No, actually I don't.

Iroha: I know people say all sorts of things about me, like I seem kind of dumb or slow.

Yukino: So then what is the problem you are bringing us?
