Nagi nodded with no expression on her face. It wasn't her issue anyway, and she hadn't really met anyone with issues bigger than her own. A temporary stay was no place for any lasting emotional bonds, and not that she was good at making them, anyway.

The self-proclaimed village idiot who called himself Fukugawa Youhei ingratiated himself to his role right from the start, considering all the theatrics he did in whatever went on in his head. Nagi rolled her eyes; Nami would have too, probably.

"Nami. I have a brother called Nagi, and he is very protective." Nagi felt the need to add on the latter sentence in a curt, direct tone. She didn't think that Fukugawa truly had any intentions of meddling with a girl, but her fierce stare into his eyes showed quite the opposite.

She claimed a seat at the common area sofa, and the strain released from her feet, and her heels, made her sigh almost audibly in relief.
