This Chapter's Story
Tomari is at her home in the shower. As the hot water from the showerhead gently caresses her body, her mind begins to drift into introspection. She thinks back to when Hazumu and herself were children. Even as a young boy, Hazumu was very feminine looking and acting, thus he was the target of a lot of ridicule and verbal abuse. Very early on, Tomori took it upon herself to help and protect Hazumu from others who would degrade or hurt Hazumu for being their natural self of obvious femininity. Recalling, Tomari tells herself that she has always been at Hazumu' side, and even now that we are both teenagers, intends to continue to do so. Continuing her self-awareness, Tomari affirms to herself that she will protect Hazumu at all costs. She is physically and mentally strong. That is okay, as she as always been a tomboy. Tomari slaps herself repeatedly in the face with both her hands. I AM STRONG !

Tomari meets with the other friends, and as always, the group walks to school together.
