[ Mom did tell her about wanting to send Aki to Tokyo, but...well, not the other details. It wasn't as if she would have thought Kouran needed to know. She tries to hug Aki back, also one-handed. It would be awful if either of them got ice-cream in their hair. ]

I'll be staying here for a while longer. At least until mother and father thinks it's okay for me to come back.
