Haru heard Sora sigh, and she turned to catch him staring up at the sky thoughtfully, his food forgotten (for once). “I got other things that are more important, Haru. I got…someone to look after. I can’t very well do that if I’m stuck being Fifth Squad’s lieutenant. That’s a whole heck of a lot of responsibility, ya know. And all the paperwork!”
He snorted and flopped backwards on the roof, watching the clouds drift by overhead. Haru stared at him curiously, lips parted as though she wanted to ask another question, but suddenly thought better of it. With a sigh of her own, she leaned back on the tiles of the roof, folding one arm behind her head and the other over her stomach.
“Yeah,” she agreed. “I guess it is a lot of responsibility…But Sora, who is it you gotta look after?” She turned her head to look at him, but found he’d closed his eyes, a small grin on his face.
“Don’t worry about it, Haru.”
