Courage to Fly

A Time of Rest

It is now March. The year was coming to an end. Asahina was to graduate, in a matter of months. All of those past issues, seemed so far away. It was already nearly a year.

May, when it all began that rainy, fateful day, and the following event of the concert, being trapped all summer, and all had finally come to a peaceful end.

Therapy had been helping the Mafuyu household, especially with the amicable moving of Asahina; she had the full support of her parents to move out; she was ready to spread her wings and leave the nest. 

One sunny day in March, the nineteenth in particular, Shizuku, Airi, Kanade and Asahina basked in the ambiance of a peaceful time of rest. It was lunch break for at school, and to Asahina, one of the most peaceful moments she'd ever had.

Ena and Mizuki would have been there too, but they decided to simply stay at the school they were at. School wouldn't  become much of an issue for them once they graduated. 

The picnic was calm, the food delicious. The lake behind them streamed peacefully in sync with the wind. The two couples seemingly enjoyed the double date, and had finally found some peace in their chaotic and fun year.

The aftermath of their little outgoing was calm as well. The sun must have tired out all of the girls at Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy. 

The lessons were a breeze, and the cool spring air made it all the more magical. The teachers taught with the lights off, since the sun's brightness was far too beautiful to waste. 

The time at school Asahina had seemed all the more peaceful, and she was happier now that her family was working to resolve things for the better.

Her mother had a lot of generational trauma, and that pressure turned out to be what was pushing Asahina in all of these different and stressful situations.

Her father, a workaholic through and through, was only one because of the fact that he wasn't always exactly the type to work on his emotions, and would use work to ease the tension.

Now that all of that had come to the light, things finally seemed to calm down.
