I sat in the entryway, crying out loud.

This was the first time in my life that I'd ever cried like that.

Chapter 15: Utility Pole

As we made our way home from our local station, Sayu—who had, until this point, been quiet and zoned out—suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Yoshida, is there anything you'd love to do right now?"

The abrupt question made me cock my head in curiosity.

"What do you mean?"

"C'mon. Just think about it."

Something I'd love to do? That was an incredibly vague question. I really had no hobbies, and there wasn't anything I particularly wanted to buy, either. My job itself was enough fun for me, and I didn't have any real desire to climb the ladder any further.

As hard as I tried to think about it, I couldn't come up with anything I really wanted.

"Nothing in particular."

Sayu let out a small giggle and said, "I see."

"Oh."

Something suddenly popped into my head, so I said it out loud.

"If I really had to say something, then I'd like to sleep for an entire week."

Sayu cackled loudly at my response. It seemed like I'd tickled her funny bone.

"What? That's so dumb!"

"Whatever."

She continued to laugh for a moment, then suddenly pointed in the direction we were walking.

"There."

"Hm?"

Sayu ran up to a utility pole that stood a few feet in front of us, then turned back to look my way. I stared intently at the utility pole, wondering what point she was trying to make before it suddenly occurred to me.

"This is where we first met, Mr. Yoshida."

"...You're right. It is."

Sure enough, it was right in front of this utility pole that I first met Sayu and took her home with me. I narrowed my eyes as I reflected on that night's events—or rather, attempted to, as I'd been drunk at the time and more than a few months had passed since. My recollection was quite vague. The only things that came to mind were Sayu's simple smile and her plainly visible black panties.

"That's so long ago now."

I muttered to myself, and Sayu gave a shy smile and nodded.

After she'd spent a few seconds standing under the utility pole in silence, she began to speak carefully.

"With the other guys, I had a different name every time."

I couldn't understand what she was trying to tell me, and so I cocked my head, and she continued speaking with a soft smile on her face.

"Whenever I found someone else to live with, I gave them a different name—a fake one."

I understood what she meant now, but at the same time, a conversation I had with Yaguchi Kyoya sprung to mind. This reminded me how he kept calling her 'Miyuki.' That must have been the fake name she gave him.

"But when you asked me what my name was, Mr. Yoshida, I kinda surprised myself... My real name just slipped out. I don't know why."

She said, squinting. She seemed like she was thinking back on that time. A fond expression came over her face as she spoke. I gazed blankly at her side profile.
