Once, twice, the phone rung out at the small yet well kept apartment. Monet mewed in announcement of the new noise alerting her owner. Mrs Yui smiled making her way to her phone, petting Monets head and picks it up, holding it close to her ear "Yes?" The other side of the line was silent for a second, before a voice spoke out , "Hey.. Mrs Yui.. its me, Mayu".

Mrs Yui nodded scooping up her cat in her arms "Mayu, good to hear from you, any reason you called or did you just want to chat?" She was a bit confused on why Mayu called her,  after all they just saw each other when visiting Seiko. "Well I just wanted to talk, about the others." Mrs Yui raised an eyebrow "Others? Like Morishige?". "No like, the others from the school.. the class rep and them.."

Mrs Yui blinked surprised. "So you haven't forgotten them..?", there was a pause before she got her response, it was hushed but distinct "Im sorry.. " there was a slight gasp as if she was trying to choke down her sadness , "I pretended not to remember.. Shige said it would be best.. but I cant anymore..". Mrs Yui was silent hearing her students soft and shaking voice over the phone.

"Its fine, really, Suzumoto its alright" She said smiling softly. Mayu wiped her eyes sniffling "Its not.. ". Mrs Yui frowned and thought, "How about this, go back to see Seiko.. and tell her what you told me, she'll be overjoyed and you two can talk.". A deep inhale followed across the line before saying slowly , "If thats what you think I should do.. I will... bye... Mrs Yui..." Mrs Yui nodded smiling hoping it translates over to her voice, "Bye Suzumoto, good luck.".

With a click the call ended. Mrs Yui sighed sitting down on her couch and flipping open a small composition notebook and began scribbling down that days events.
