After returning from Red Fragrance Hill that day, Ariel Morris, Dawn Sutherland, and the others grew closer. The four of them planned another trip to the seaside.
The seven-day holiday flew by.
On the first day back at school, Ariel Morris carried a thousand knots bracelet made of black thread, adorned with an exquisite dice, to school.
The first day of class was a drizzling, rainy day.
During the lesson, Ariel Morris absentmindedly played with the bracelet under her desk, her lips curling into a faint smile. She was so lost in imagining how much Arlo Seys would like this bracelet that she didn't notice when the homeroom teacher called her to stand up and answer a question.
"Ariel Morris! Stand up!"
