"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXXAa53YKH

Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9MTcCjc2R
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOKq6B60YZ
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH5FewnTjJ

Yuki walked over to Jun, who was sitting alone at a table in the corner of the cafeteria. He looked up when he saw her, his face pale and drawn.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg9xJY6pf6

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZFkRdfCeJ

Jun hesitated. He was still nervous about what had happened the other day, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he saw Yuki.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdSda6kZwg

"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UPwiBsWaX
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLaCaWR7cq
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcR8MICaj5

"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtfvveTQdb

Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPycbFmIcip
