"Ai, tell me, how the hell can I calm down when I just saw my bestie get her first kiss and she DIDN'T TELL ME—"
"RIKA, SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Hanako shouted, all went silent again as Rika slowly regained her composure, "Alrighty," she sighed, "One, as we've all seen and witnessed by that memeory, Hikari clearly had feelings for you, and you accepted it back, so why did you try to erase that memory?"
"Because it was painful to remember once she died."
Rika nodded, and clapped her hands in a prayer position once, "Alright, why don't we uh...not stress you out anymore?"
"Let's not." Hanako chuckled.
Acca cleared his throat, gaining attention from the girls, "Sorry to interupt this...gathering. But I must give Hanako her own Pomander." Then looked over to Ura-acca, him nodding and pulling something from under the table.
Hana raised her eyebrow and turned to the others, "What's a...Pomander?"
"You'll see." Neiru walked in while holding a book, "While the four of you were...chatting, I was sitting on the bench and reading." She looked at Ai, "Ai, could you please add Adachi-san to the groupchat since she's a one of us now?"
"Oh, yeah!" Ai took out her phone and showed Hanako the number, "Here, since all of us are friends, we now want you in the chat!"
Hanako nodded and took out her phone, placing the number in. She then heard a *ding!* on everyone else's phone.
Momoe and Neiru looked at Hanako with genuine smiles, asking for permission to call her by her first name without using words. Hanako nodded, "Hanako."
"Neiru."
"Momoe!"
Ai looked at Rika, "Those three will get along, right, Rika-chan?"
"Well, duh. I mean, it's Hanako after all."
"You're right."
"Ah, here you go. Hanako, please come here." Ura-acca called, turning the box so that Hanako could see, it was a silver-chained necklace with a purple-to-blue diamond shape, and there was a tiny white silhouette of a tree at the bottom.
