At this point, he finally realized what Izumi meant by “suitability.” In short, this girl would only get along with cowards who couldn’t look her in the eye. Sanagi slowly began to tell the circumstances leading up to her calling Kousaka. This afternoon, she headed for the library like usual. While returning a book she’d checked out and looking for a new one to borrow, all of a sudden, she noticed her scopophobia symptoms were less severe than usual. Maybe going to visit Kousaka daily was now starting to show its effect. She stopped and thought. While I’m rehabilitating, how about I read here in the library? It being a day off, the library was rather crowded, but maybe it would be more effective training to have this stimuli. Sanagi sat in an empty seat and opened her book. At first, she wasn’t able to focus due to glances she was only imagining, but she gradually narrowed her vision and could focus only on the words. After reading about halfway, she decided to take a break. She stood up to loosen her stiff body, and wandered around between the bookcases. She liked walking around the library like this for no particular reason. She enjoyed taking books she had no interest in the contents of and just checking their binding, shape, weight, smell, and feel.
