Kyoko walked about as fast as she could while pushing the weight of that bike, which... ended up not being much faster than usual. It was fine. It was something to focus on.

Did Kaito still not understand at all? Or did he understand everything now? Neither option made her want to look at him, but it seemed like that wasn't going to be a problem for a while, if they kept the current arrangement for the whole walk home.

Which was what Kyoko intended to do. There were faint worries tugging at her mind--was this it, then? would she have to move out now? should she do that anyway? what kind of face would Shinji make when Kaito told him?--but mostly, she was numb.
