I couldn’t ears in my head as I descended down the slope

Even though I had worked so diligently during the climb, all of an to run down the hill If this was trulyto have to descend at some point anyways, why had I even cliravely reflected on these actions of mine

Though the beginning of the uphill slope had started off gently, the descent had instantly becooe's Both sides of the road had once again becoe-of-vision was blocked Had I been half-assed in le si down a cliff, so fro haphazardly, there would have been the strong noise fro like this would only destroy the knees Keeping all this instyle htoo fast, it was a given that running downhillfast easier If I didn't run seriously at any point throughout the entire 20k until the sun had set

As a result, I focused solely on running down the slope

And yet at the same time, Ibara’s words—that simple sentence she had heard from Ōhinata—continued to spin around in my consciousness

For soht chill when hearing that supposedly auspicious word, but I descended down the slope too fast to think about thebehind it

I didn’t relish the idea of thinking about what had happened that day How should I put this… It’s not like it caused cold sweat to run downthat the anxiety I had then still remains to this day

I could clearly remember both the date and time of week

It happened on a Sunday
