Characters

 * Ushio Kazama
 * Sumika Murasame
 * Sumika's brothers

Summary
It is remembered when Ushio first visited Sumika's house. Whilst her mother has passed away, Sumika and her three brothers are taken care of by their housekeeper.

Sumika helps Ushio with her English homework, but Ushio has to return home to begin dinner since she also lives without parents, yet has her brother with her.

Learning more of her background, Ushio thinks Sumika is a wonderful person and continues to spend time with her.

The girls who were with Ushio before have taken to discussing Ushio and Sumika. They gossip about them which Sumika overhears.

Seeing her in karate class, Ushio can see Sumika is fired up and on edge. She wonders if she had trouble at school before leaving, and also avoids her upon seeing Sumika in class.

Finding her in the library, Ushio feels being around Sumika is causing trouble for her, even after hearing that she should get angry when people insult her.
