Over the next two weeks, the trio fell into an uneasy routine. Kazu showed up every morning to take Eri to class or to spend the day with her. In the evening, an awkward exchange would occur as she left Eri in Aizawa's care.

The two would never mutter more than a simple hello or goodbye, and the more time that passed, the numbness grew within Kazu. She was simply going through the motions, doing what she had to, to make it to her trial.

The new routine not only affected the omega and the tired teacher, but their little girl as well.

Eri was quick to see the differences the new situation had. Kazu was no longer able to take her off campus without Aizawa present and with the awkward tension that surrounded the pair, they both avoided going out.

When Kazu would pick up Eri, their walks would be pretty quiet, instead of the normal laughter and warm conversation they had before the incident. She began to retract within herself and revert back to her once quiet and reserved demeanor.

Maybe it was because she was afraid to say the wrong thing or to disappoint. But all Eri knew was that she couldn't find joy like she used to. She hated that Kazu and Aizawa were both too stubborn to see how perfect they were for each other. Even though she was only seven years old, she could see how in love they were.

It wasn't only the small family that was affected by this disruption of harmony, but the friends that surrounded them as well. Yamada Hizashi had been Shota's friend for years, and seeing him go through this painful experience once more was agonizing.

He watched as he ate by himself in his classroom, rather than with his coworkers or to go home for whatever Kazu had prepared. He watched as Aizawa would spend any free time he had, zipped away in his sleeping bag.

It wasn't that these things were abnormal, but after the last few months, it was definitely not on routine.

Present Mic and Midnight would make several attempts to check in on their friend, and all were met with the same never ending answer.

"I'm fine."

"I'm okay."

"Don't worry about it."

The only progress they made was with Kazu. They were able to talk with her in the evenings and check up on how the young omega was handling everything.

It was Sunday night and Kazu was settled into Midnight's couch, dressed in her pj's. Beside her, Midnight sat down, handing her a freshly poured glass of wine.

Kazu took the glass appreciatively, giving her a small hum in response before pressing the cup to her lips and taking a sip. It was the night before her trial and Kazu hoped the wine would take the edge off her nerves that twisted in her belly.

"Tomorrows the big day," Midnight sighed as she took a generous sip from her glass.

Humming, Kazu stared down into the bubbly drink. Gently running her fingers down the condensation that dripped down the glass.

"So it is."

A deep sigh escaped her lips as she felt Midnight's eyes on her.

"How are you feeling, babe?"
