Giyuu's eyes widened as he looked at the others. He bit his lip, his mind racing.
"B-But... what if he... what if he doesn't want to talk to me? What if he... he hates me?"

Shinobu took his hand, squeezing it gently.

"Tomioka-San, look at me."
She waited till he met her gaze.

"Shinazugawa-San loves you. He might be mad, he might be hurt, but he doesn't hate you... And I know it."

Giyuu's eyes welled up again as he heard Shinobu's words. He took a deep, shuddering breath.

"R-Really? He... he still loves me?"
He asked softly.

His heart pounded in his chest, hoping that Shinobu's words were true.

Obanai face-palmed at Giyuu's question, letting out a tired sigh.
"God! Tomioka... why do you not realise? Shinazugawa could literally die for you, why do you think he wouldn't love you! It's fucking tiring to keep telling you the same thing!"

Giyuu flinched at Obanai's outburst, his eyes wide with shock. He looked down, feeling ashamed.

"I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to doubt it..." He mumbled softly. He took a deep breath, trying to gather his courage.

"Y-You've got this, Tomioka-San! I believe in you! So, no more being sad, okay!? I'm tired of seeing everyone cry!!! Once this is over, we have a festival to enjoy! So, make sure you talk things out well, okay?"
Mitsuri stammered, her tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Y-You're right... I need to talk to him."
Giyuu slowly stood up, his gaze shifting to the starry night sky.

Obanai watched as Giyuu stood up, a small sigh escaping his lips. He looked at Shinobu, who nodded encouragingly. He looked back at Giyuu, stretching his arms.

"Look, you're gonna go meet up with Shinazugawa tomorrow. We'll most likely be at Kocho's. Update us on what happened."

Giyuu nodded, his heart racing in his chest. He looked at Shinobu, then at Obanai, before turning to leave. He paused as he took a step forward.

"I-I'll... I'll let you know what happens."
He said softly before quickly leaving.

Obanai watched Giyuu leave, letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
Shinobu watched Giyuu disappear into the distance, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back. It's getting late..."
She said softly.

She looked at Obanai, her gaze soft.
"Thank you for explaining it all to him."

Obanai looked at Shinobu, who was watching him with a gentle expression. He sighed, rubbing his temples.

"It's nothing, don't mention it. Let's just hope he doesn't mess this up."
He turned around to leave as well.

Shinobu nodded, a small smile on her face. She looked over at Mitsuri who wiped her tears off.

"Let's head back now. Shall we, Kanroji-San?"
She asked.

"M-Mhm!"
Mitsuri nodded, holding Shinobu's hand.

The three walked off, followed by Tengen, who crossed his arms and looked at the sky, deep in thought.

Hope they get back together... This shouldn't last another second.
