He knew the town was small but he did not think it would be small enough for him to run into her again, this time around, she was less in danger but more of looking defeated as he hears the end of the phone call she was having. Pulling out the chair across from her, he allows himself to sit with her as he sets his coffee down, staring at her. He was still not sure what to think of her yet, how she managed to get herself into the situation she had when they had first met when she seemed the type to know better than that. That’s the thing, isn’t it? She only seems to know what to do or what is going on. When in reality, maybe she really doesn’t know what to do with herself or others.
He has to remind himself that this is not his life that was being talked about here, listening to her catching him up to speed about the things that has happened since they had last seen each other. The story of her fiancé coming into town and wanting to marry her to make up for all the trouble he has given to his parents, especially to his dying mother, was too convenient. The explanation that he wanted to clean up his act to prove to his father that he did not need his father meddling into his life anymore because he was a changed man was laughable. Hiroto was waiting for the moment to hear that all of it was absurd from Yuri, that even if anyone was going to give the benefit to the guy that the story may be true, you could not help but be suspicious and wary about the timing of everything. But it never came, watching her talk earnestly and highly of this mystery guy in town.
He could advice or warn but this was ultimately her own life to live and if the choices and the decisions she makes, or wishes to make, are ones that she feels strongly about, then he is not going to hold her back. And if she thought that this guy was more good than harm, well, what can he do? Who he is to say that the guy was no good when he was not much better himself? “Just like last time, be more careful.”
