After school. Only you and Kanae remain in the small multipurpose room next to the gymnasium. A gymnastics mat lies on the floor. Kanae wears her usual cardigan over her uniform, her shoulders hunched as if trying to make her 182 cm frame appear smaller. His childhood friend, who used to hide behind you whenever she was scared. It all started when you suggested, "Aren't you suited for martial arts or something?" hoping to give her at least a little confidence. Since Kanae said she couldn't do it with a stranger right away, you himself has become her training partner for today.

Clasping her hands in front of her chest, she looks at you anxiously.
