His father called that night. He had a lot of opinions about Sakutaâs love life, but that wasnât why heâd called. Now that Kaedeâs dissociative disorder had cleared up, her grandparents wanted to see her again. They hadnât seen her once in two years.
So starting on the twenty-third, sheâd be visiting their grandparents for a few days. Their father would be stopping by, too.
Just what Shouko had said would happen.
This definitely rattled him. And planted a growing certainty in his mind.
Kaede made a face and then said, âItâs better if Iâm not around for Christmas, right?â
Shoukoâs prediction had even been accurate down to his sisterâs motives.

The day after his surprise date with ShoukoâSaturday, December 13âSakuta was working the late shift until nine, and he hit the bath the second he got home.
The hot water soothed the fatigue of a long day. If he could get Mai to coddle and scold him, heâd be fully recovered, but when he got out of the bath, she still wasnât home.
He poked his head into the living room, still drying his hair. No Mai.
âYou hear anything from Mai?â he asked. Kaede was at the kotatsu, watching TV. Shouko was taking her turn in the bath. He could hear the shower running. And her humming.
âNot yet.â
Mai had left early for her film shoot. The same one theyâd done location work for in Kanazawa. They still had some interior scenes left, and they were shooting those on a soundstage in Tokyo.
But it was pretty late. He glanced at the clock above the TV; it was ten past ten.
Kaede was channel surfing.
âAnything on?â he asked, finally done drying his hair.
âSo many people I donât know. Itâs hard to follow anything.â
A two-year gap in your memories would do that.
She stopped on a talk show. A comedy duo was performing their routine. Their bit was unfolding at a blistering pace.
âIs this whatâs funny now?â
âTheyâre on TV a lot, so I guess so?â
âIf people quote this at school, Iâll be in trouble. I donât get it at all.â
Kaede collapsed on the kotatsu, her face turned toward the screen.
âNo need to force yourself.â
âUgh. How am I supposed to make friends?â
âYouâll just have to write your own routine. âMy bodyâs third-year, but my mind is still first-year!â Make the whole class laugh.â
âThat discrepancy is the problem! Why do you think Iâve been on a TV binge?â
Kaede glared at him, but this was not the least bit intimidating. It just looked sulky.
âHard to cram two yearsâ worth before third term starts.â
Kaede was busy working toward returning to school. Their father had already spoken to the school, and after classes ended on Wednesday, her school counselor, Miwako Tomobe, had stopped by to see her. Sheâd definitely been a little rattled by how different Kaede was, but theyâd talked for a while and set some goals.
And one of those was to attend school starting from third term.
âThatâs the problem!â
âSo make a joke of it.â
âAnd draw attention to myself?â
âYouâre joining the class in third term; thereâs no avoiding that.
