Really? [ Chiyo perked up ever so slightly at her rekindled hope. Maybe things would turn out great after all! ] Are you sure?

[ She looked down with a hint of a smile and thought about how lucky she felt to have met such a kind girl. She'd make sure to thank her somehow. ]

I don't know how I can ever repay you for your help.... and this lovely chocolate. [ She still kept it with her by her feet and looked at it happily. It smelled so good, she couldn't wait to eat it. ]
