It was the rush hour after get off work, and the crowds were all over the place. Everyone was rushing along, seemingly running for life.

Shiraishi walked against the flow of people, but his heart was unusually calm. He came to a chain restaurant, where he would work tonight.

Soon after he entered the shopping street, he saw the familiar restaurant sign and an acquaintance standing at the door - Teacher Miwako Tomobe.

She was a little plump and had a warm smile. She was a tutor that Yukino had trusted very much. Seeing Shiraishi, she showed a look of surprise on her face.

Shiraishi, it's been a long time since we last met! You look more mature, what a good kid. Miwako's voice was filled with a bit of intimacy and relief.

Shiraishi responded with a smile, but he secretly thought to himself that maybe he had really grown up recently. They exchanged a few pleasantries, and the topic naturally turned to Yukino.

Miwako said she was here to visit Yukino. She mentioned Yukino's independence and strength, and her eyes sparkled with pride.

I'm really happy to see Yukino working so hard. Her growth is inseparable from your support and company. Miwako's words were full of gratitude.

Shiraishi humbly said that this was everyone's credit, but he knew in his heart that every step of Yukino's growth was the result of the efforts and care of too many people.

However, when Miwako suddenly mentioned Akagi Yumi's name, Shiraishi was stunned. He didn't expect to hear this name here, and he didn't expect Miwako to have any intersection with Yumi.

Ms. Tomobe, why did you ask about Akagi? He couldn't help asking.

Miwako sighed softly and explained: Since last month, I have occasionally gone to the volunteer group she founded to help. You know, Yumi is doing some psychological counseling activities, mainly for those children who refuse to go to school. I think this is a very meaningful thing, so I decided to do my part.

Hearing this, Shiraishi felt mixed emotions. He had not expected that Yushi was not only outstanding in studies, but also so enthusiastic about public welfare. At this moment, he seemed to understand Yushi a little more, but the complex emotions were even more difficult to sort out.

Shiraishi nodded gently, responding to her concerns. She knew very well how the years when Yukino was bullied and indirectly affected me had left an indelible mark in my youth. Reuniting with old classmates was undoubtedly a test of complex emotions for Shiraishi.

"So, do you feel any difference?" Her voice was filled with delicate care, asking Shiraishi if he was disturbed by the shadow of the past.

"No, everything is fine." Shiraishi tried to make his answer seem relaxed, but there was another scene in his heart - Yushi's unique world, how she played the role of a messenger of justice in the "dream" world, and those unspeakable adolescent confusions similar to the phenomenon of poltergeists.

However, the "abnormality" that Miwako refers to is obviously a careful concern for Shiraishi's mental state. She is worried about whether ShiraishiBe able to face the past peacefully and not let those pains resurface again.

"In your eyes, is Akagi Izumi someone who might say harsh words to me?" Shiraishi asked tentatively, trying to understand Izumi's image from her perspective..0

"Absolutely not." Miwako answered decisively, her tone full of trust and admiration for Izumi, "Although we didn't spend much time together, she gave Shiraishi the impression of being extremely upright, having a strong sense of justice, and being very considerate of others."

This evaluation coincides with Shiraishi and Saki's perception of Izumi. It seems that in the hearts of all those who have had intersections with her, she is the one who upholds justice and warms people's hearts.

"Sometimes, an overly strong sense of justice may lead to misunderstandings and even hurt others." Shiraishi added, but then shook his head, "However, Yushi is different. She can always grasp the right measure and reflect everyone's feelings." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"That's right." Miwako nodded in agreement. Their conversation seemed to be a profound analysis of Yushi's character.

"But won't she feel tired living like this?" Shiraishi asked softly, his heart full of understanding and concern for Yushi.

"Are you saying that she feels tired because she tries to meet the 0.9 expectations of others?" Miwako seemed to see through Shiraishi's mind, "Maybe, but the reason she can do this is because she knows how to perceive and respond to the emotions around her."

Shiraishi fell into deep thought, imagining how Yushi looked in the crowd. Was she also silently bearing the expectations and pressure from all sides?

"Sometimes, responding too much to other people's expectations can become a burden on the mind." Shiraishi said slowly, and the image of Kazuka struggling with her mother's high expectations in high school emerged in his mind. "Perhaps this is also a symptom unique to adolescence.".
