It doesn’t really matter. I’ve learned to deal with it and just ignore it. It’ll pass eventually; I just have to wait it out. I’m going in September! It's a birthday trip. I don't usually do anything special for it, I thought it would be fun to try something different.

The moment he saw the hives, a look of sadness crossed his face.
You’ve been dealing with this all by yourself? Haruki.
He continues to look at her back, his expression never changed.
You should really get them checked out, Haruki. I know you’re used to this, but -

I’m stressed. I have stress hives, I’ve been dealing with it since I was a kid. I never went to a doctor about it, though.
She turned around and carefully lifted the back of her shirt, exposing red, irritated hives scattered across her upper back.

⠀⠀ ❝ Yeah, it’s cool with me. Don’t worry, I’ll let her know you’re here. It’s the least I could do since you’re finding us somewhere to stay. I did the same thing.. so I get it. But next time, you have to let her know when you’re gone. That’s your babymama. ❞

⠀⠀ ⠀ ‘‘ You're fine. You don't have to. ’’
He leans against the wall, taking a short moment to think
⠀⠀ ⠀ ‘‘ If you're not here overnight, I'll be here. If you guys are, I'll be in a hotel. ’’

want Kana to see me fall apart, you know? It’ll be nice. I’m sure more people will start coming out here, but you two can stay with us since we’re basically kin. I think Fudo and Emi were working on their relationship.

⠀⠀ ❝ I appreciate your kindness, l’ll pay you back. I wouldn’t want you to do all of this without repaying you back. ❞
Haruki let out a sigh while sitting down in a chair.
⠀⠀ ❝ Where are you staying, Tatara? ❞⠀⠀

T-Dog...? He'll let it slide due to the circumstances.
⠀⠀ ⠀ ‘‘ I understand... Yeah, I would have just done it either way for you girls. I'll let you know how all that goes when it comes to it. ’’
