Sophia’s not entirely sure what she said to upset Hanahi suddenly. However, she feels bad about causing the girl to drop some of her cheerful attitude. There was definitely something she was missing. “Well, they are still attainable. But it’s about three times as much a movie ticket if you get the cheap seats. It’s attainable, but just requires saving,” she says, trying to be optimistic.

She is glad to see her brighten back up on the topic of sports. “Sure. This has been the year for me to start watching sporting events after all. I saw the first basketball game of the year. It was pretty entertaining, but our team was far more talented than the opposing one. It was a clear victory. But sure. Do you have a cell phone? I can give you my number,” she says, pulling out her phone from a pocket in the interior of her blazer.

Sophia’s not sure how to take to it when Hanahi says that she would accept her love letter. She gets a slight deer in the headlights look as her brain tries to process whether this is flirting or not. However, the girl then asks if she has a brother. She laughs, “Two actually, but only one here in Japan. However, he’s about 21…” As they reach the changing room, she starts to back away, “I guess it is time for me to run off.”

"Yeah, I guess they aren't that much." She smiled at Sophia, though the last time Hanahi had been to a movie was on her birthday, when she and her sister had agreed to go together as a birthday present to one another.

"Ah that sucks to hear." She couldn't help but interject when Sophia said the game was so one sided. "It's much better when it comes down to the buzzer." She smiled when Sophia said that she had fun. "Oh I do have one, but..." she glanced at the change room, where she knew it was safely stored in her locker. "Oh, I know." With that, Hanahi in seemingly a single swift and fluid motion Hanahi had produced a felt-tipped pen from her bag, and snatched Sophia's hand and was writing her name and number: 'Hanahi Anto (03) XXXX-3564' and with that she let go of Sophia's hand, and turned back to face her. "There you go." She said it with a chipper voice, figuring that Sophia would mind since she was so clearly not Japanese and they always seemed so touchy with one another, at least to what Hanahi had always understood.

She waved bye to Sophia before disappearing into the locker room. It wasn't until she had already pealed off her wet clothes and was rummaging around in her locker that she realized she now had two coats. She hurried more than she would have other wise, and a few minutes later, now dressed in her uniform the colour of her ribbon and scarf matching her eyes and hair, was standing out in the hallway Sophia's coat in hand, wondering if the other girl was still around.
