At the end of the day, Higo was just a normal teenager who had just entered adulthood. He was calm most of the time, but when facing such a passionate invitation from Morita, the boy could feel his heart race quickly.
The moment he arrived back at his own flat, the first thing that came to mind was to call Kumiko, wanting to discuss this with his best friend and the most knowledgeable person he had ever known in his life.
Unfortunately, it was already 6 in the evening here, so that meant it should be around 1 at midnight back home. The 7-hour difference sure became a huge barrier for him to communicate with anyone else in Hakodate. Somehow, the night seemed to be longer than usual, and even with the exhaustion all over his body, Higo failed to fall asleep until one hour before midnight.
