Cloudy days had become a new regular in Numazu as the rainy season was about the begin. Unfortunately, practices had to be cut short a majority of the time for the Aqours members since other clubs had reserved the gym and there wasn't enough space in their club room. They usually called it quits for the day when the first cloud was spotted as You's ability to tell the weather was always spot on, no one ever questioned her. Riko constantly told Chika to fill out the permission slip to get permission to stay in the gym but the little mikan just kept forgetting.
Which led them to now, all nine members were practicing on top of the roof. It was only about thirty minutes into practice but each girl danced with everything they had.
You stopped in her tracks mid song only to quickly look at the sky. All the girl's had taken note of You's strange behavior, following their sight to the pure blue sky above them.
"The calm before the storm."
You had said aloud before quickly running to grab her things. She swiftly skidded across the concrete to her bag that was at the corner of the roof, wildly packing her things together. All the girls looked at each other as no one had said to head home yet. Kanan was the first to speak up,
"You-chan, where are you going? We're still practicing?"
You tried to quickly pick up her things with her shaky hands. She shouted back over her shoulder for Kanan to hear,
"There's a thunderstorm coming. I- We have to leave now if we want to make it home in time."
All the girls looked up at the sky once more except confused this time. It seemed today was the one time they had a clear sky in days, they didn't want this time to go to waste. Dia intervened,
"The sky is clear though. We should be fine for at least another hour. We haven't had a full practice in days, I think we can risk waiting until we see the clouds."
You, having already gathered her belongings, threw her bag over her shoulders. Tipping her hat down to avoid eye contact, the young sailor began speed walking towards the stairs,
"I'm sorry Dia, but I can't risk that. I have to go, now."
The members all looked at one another, mentally asking what was happening. They weren't sure what to do. Chika, however, felt that as their leader she should make the decision of what should happen next. She stepped up, quickly grabbing You's wrist to keep her from walking further away,
"You-chan, it's just a storm. We can wai-"
You pulled her hand from Chika's grasp in an instant before quickly cutting her off,
"Don't tell me it's 'just a storm'. You wouldn't understand anyways."
None of the girls had ever seen You ever react so hostile towards Chika. You only glanced towards her members for a moment before turning back to her path. She didn't want anyone to see her like this. As You made her way towards the stairs, the eight remaining members watched in silence as she quickly jogged out of sight.
——-
"So, Chika-chan, what was that all about?"
Riko and Chika were alone now in the club room. You was right about the storm as they could see large dark clouds coming in. They had planned to continue practice but without You to help Kanan, it was much harder to pick out who was messing up dance moves thus throwing everyone off. Kanan, being as exhausted as she was from trying to watch everyone and her own steps, ultimately called off practice entirely.
