He buries face into her hair and stands still.
So this how it feels to be in his arms...
She leans into his body and allows the heartwarming embrace envelop her.
Arata lets go and Kaede takes a step forward.
She smiles and says,
"Thanks a lot! I feel much better!"
"You're welcome."
He says as he tousles her hair.
"H-hey! Stop! My hair will be messy!"
"That's the whole point!! Rahhhh!!!"
"Ahhh ~"
Kaede laughs and squeals.
