Summary
Yuki found herself deep in thought as she lingered at Keyaki Mall late into the evening, reflecting on a conversation she had earlier in the day with Kanzaki and other classmates. Lost in contemplation, her musings were interrupted by Ayanokouji who had approached her.

Engaging in conversation, Yuki suggested that they walk back to the dormitory together since they were headed in the same direction. Despite her admission that she didn't quite understand her classmates, she felt an even stronger curiosity about Ayanokouji, prompting her desire to get to know him better.

Despite her usual aversion to conversations and her tendency to find them bothersome, Yuki was surprised to find herself engrossed in a lively discussion with Ayanokouji. It wasn't driven by romantic interest but rather a sense of being in sync with him, although she struggled to pinpoint exactly what intrigued her about him.

Ayanokouji's comments about self-realization resonate with Yuki, making her contemplate her own actions and attitudes. She acknowledges the difficulty of turning thoughts into actions and the sense of hesitation they all face in trying to improve their class. Ayanokouji advises against standing still but acknowledges that hesitation isn't a negative trait.

Yuki expresses her uneasiness about the current situation within their class. She fears that their efforts to bring about change may not lead to the desired outcome, and she senses that invisible forces are slowly causing things to go awry. She wishes her uneasiness were simply overthinking and hopes for a more positive outcome.
