However, Toshisuke's current situation is genuinely worrying.
Toshisuke is now in such a poor state that he keeps bumping into walls while walking...
How on earth did Mr. Chokata and his sister negotiate? Why has Mr. Chokata been so absent-minded these days? Did things fall apart when he talked to his sister? But even if they did, it shouldn't be this bad... These doubts linger in Aoto's mind and heart, unable to be dismissed.
As evening arrived and Shiwei Hall closed, Aoto finally couldn't sit still.
He quickly ran through various places in Shiwei Hall, searching for Toshisuke's figure.
After Aoto's thorough search, he soon found Toshisuke — sitting cross-legged on the edge of the courtyard porch, reading an arithmetic book.
Aoto noticed at a glance that Toshisuke wasn't really absorbing the contents of the book.
Toshisuke's gaze was vacant and dull.
Although his eyes were on the pages, his thoughts had long wandered somewhere far away.
