Both of July's hands held Joe's body trying to give her a hug. This is the usual rejection reaction July shows to any guy trying to do something to her. The same thing happened to Alastor when first met July, in front of the wedding altar. Alastor can see July is indeed showing such a resolute and clear self-defense reaction, resisting a man trying to approach or touch her aggressively. Yet it was not a serious symptom when what July declared in a drunken state at the time, that she could not have a romantic relationship with a man was proved conclusively. Until now, Alastor is still often confused with the actions and behavior of July who often approached him first, without hesitation touched him, made physical contact even though not in the context of an intimate relationship. And now Joe's presence as a man in the family sphere and July's life at this time makes Alastor feel disturbed and suspicious. Either on the relationship between the two of them or on the couple's relationshi

In the end July and Joe go to an open green area still inside the city only. Because they really didn't plan anything in advance for today's event. But once Joe was satisfied, happy because this activity can make them focus on each other. July and Joe spend time exchanging stories during their time apart, reminiscing about old times of mischief as well as happiness, a moments when each was present and there for each other through difficult times. At least that's what July means to Joe. A person who is always present with him when he is down, when Joe needs someone to be by his side. “The last time I came? Wasn't it then.” Joe replied to July's question about how long it had been since Joe had come to visit to see her. “Huh? When?” “I came to you in the rain soaked." Obviously Joe is more specific. “Oh!! You're right, I remember now.." July felt her memories flowing into that day, more and more vivid. That day some time ago, Joe came to see July without any previous news. Joe came

July and Joe return home after the day has ended and the sky is pitch black. They were out of the house all day, doing nothing. No one questioned, worried or even sought and waited for their return other than one person— Alastor. July didn't know how long it was today, it was hard for him to go through being alone at home. can't wait for July to come back all day. “Thank you for today, July..." Joe had to split up at the door of July's apartment, even though they had been together all day but he still felt reluctant to let go of July. “I'm glad you enjoyed today.” It feels like the debt burden has been lifted from July's shoulders. Joe really didn't want to send her away. If only they could stay together, longer. Yeah that's a stupid idea, selfish thought that Joe has. If July had not married, he would have chosen to stay with her like they used to every time Joe came to visit. The thought made Joe momentarily look pensively at the face of his cousin, July, waiting to say goodbye

July left the room early this morning. she feels guilty about yesterday's incident, about Alastor's confession that she was not at home all day and forgot to give news. As an apology this morning she was preparing breakfast, even could only make simple Western-style dishes. If July makes another menu, it will be a disaster. she didn't want to make Alastor suffer having to eat her food with terrible taste. The dining table was set in order, all that was left was to wait for Alastor to wake up for them to have breakfast together. Just then the door to Alastor's room opened. July sees Alastor already dressed neatly, not as usual. “You go out?” Today is still a weekend, a day off. July wonders why Alastor is wearing a suit and his hairstyle is neat. “Yes. I have to come to the company for a moment.” “The company? Why is there a problem?" July was anxious to hear the company's word, because it was the first time during their time together, Alastor visiting the company again. Or is i

Alastor returns home at noon. At that time July had nothing to do but shut herself in the room to dismantle old objects. she did not hear Alastor's call looking for her. When he knocked on the door of July's room, from inside July gave a short answer. "Yes?” Hearing July's answer, Alastor opens the door of the room looking for July's figure. After his eyes swept through July's bedroom, he found July sitting in the corner of the room staring at him. “You're back?” “Yes. What are you doing?” Asked Alastor still standing in the doorway of the room. "Ohh, I'm just—" wait, it's meaningless to explain to Alastor too, July thought. “Hm, it's nothing." changed her mind. She got up and left her busy a moment ago, because Alastor had returned so July could do it another time. July approaches Alastor, taking him to the lounge. Alastor followed July where she was going, feeling that when left, she wanted to stay with him. Maybe there was something she wanted. “You came back sooner than I t
