Rei arrives in a jacket he borrowed from Heru who accidentally meets on the road while chasing after Lucia.
"Listen to my explanation first," Rei said.
"I don't want to talk to you." Lucia moved, but Rei caught her wrist first, holding the girl's steps to move.
"Please, listen to my explanation. I don't want any misunderstandings between us. I don't want to be like this," Rei said, still in his gentle tone.
Lucia still hid her cries from the man who became her lover.
"So I was about to meet you and Gloria in the cafeteria, but I accidentally bumped into Melinda and made the drink she held spill over my clothes. He's trying to help me dry it, I've banned it. But he forced me and pulled me into the UKS room. Then my uniform broke because Melinda forced me to take off the uniform I was wearing" she explained at length.
Lucia was silent without a word. "I have nothing to do with him" he said.
Lucia looked at Rei. His face was still covered in tears. Rei approached her slightly until their position was only thirty centimeters away.
Rei reached out his hand to wipe away the tears that had soaked the girl's face.
"Do you really have nothing to do with him?" ask Lucia.
"Really" replied Rei.
"What if you're lying? I don't know if you're talking honestly or not."
"If you don't believe me, look me in the eye. I wouldn't be able to look at you if I lied."
Lucia looked up at her iris. Dive deeper among the beautiful beads of the man's eyes.
"Do you believe it?"
Lucia nodded slowly. Rei pulled Lusia's body and hugged her. "Sorry for making you misunderstand" he said. Lucia just kept quiet, returning Rei's embrace.

Their Sunday activities began by doing sports together in the morning, followed by going to a cafe and enjoying a beautiful day there while chatting.
"I told you, we also need time for quality time together!" Elvina told Leon. Hang up the phone one-sidedly.
Elvina switched focus on eating her drink, gulping down the contents until only three-quarters remained.
"Why?" rei asked as he looked at his cousin furiously.
"Leon just keeps pushing to come with us. Though for a long time we did not gather together like this, because of each other's busyness," he explained.
"That's what it looks like."
"I've asked him to give us time to enjoy quality time. But he just kept calling, "he added.
"Oh, by the way Will. Why didn't you explain to me that there was a problem at your school? Why are you hiding all that?" Elvina shifted the topic, settling her sister who was sitting next to her.
Rei switched focus.
"You have a problem at school?" Rei showed a confused face.
"Well, did Leon tell you what happened?" William is confused.
"Yes." Yeah." Elvina nodded.
"What's the problem?" ask Rei who is still confused.
"It's just a misunderstanding" said William who then explained what happened to him at school and explained in detail about sitting his problem with Anton.
"That's what it looks like." Rei responded, grabbed his glass then gulped down his juice.
"But after that, I never saw Anton again at school, I heard he moved" William said.
