The classroom atmosphere became calmer after a few days of chaos. It was very strange to see Maruyama Junan befriending other people. Especially now eating bento together? They almost thought they were hallucinating if it wasn't the class itself that saw them.
Many pairs of diverse eyes stared at them. Aito wasn't blind enough not to feel everyone's gaze, he just couldn't understand the meaning of those gazes.
It was different with Junan, his defensive attitude stared back at everyone who saw him. Making anyone he stared at could only move away, that indiscriminate gaze seemed to threaten them cruelly. That was what made them still believe that it was the Maruyama Junan they knew.
It wasn't just curious gazes, but also envy and hatred that filled the classroom atmosphere when it first happened. The girls were no doubt part of it, whispering how a transparent person like Fukuda Aito could be close to Junan.
