Surrounded by a couple boys, Okashi stood out like a queen amongst them. She was being flanked by some girls who worshipped her like a queen, as they talked about how beautiful she looked in her red romper. Adrianna and Niiya walked up to the group looking meek, as both of them felt awkward. Slowly, they walked towards a small desolated camp, and sat down. Niiya's swelling had subsided considerably and he had removed the ice pack. They were sitting in silence when a cute girl with brown ringlets approached Niiya. Adrianna recognized her as the girl from earlier who had been begging Niiya to write their play for them.
She looked at Niiya with warm inviting eyes as if asking him to be with her. Adrianna could see that she was clearly smitten by him. She looked at Niiya who was finding it uncomfortable to be under her fan-girlish gaze. Adrianna waited for them to strike a conversation, but when none started, she encouraged, "Would you like to sit with us?"
