Ever since Uta opened up to her during their getaway, Kaoru finds it more and more difficult to face her. Knowing full well why Kaoru's been evasive, Uta finds ways to keep busy at school, at work, and with her friends. But before Kaoru can figure out how to move forward, Uta and Reiichi's mother returns to Japan--and soon, Uta might be whisked away for good.
