Who: Kozue, Maeko
What: Diascussion
Where: On the beach.
When: After the Toshidungeon.
Why: We said we would, really, we did.

She had said they should do this, and it had been weighing in the back of her mind like a ton of bricks through the entire vacation at the beach. Sometimes forgotten, but briefly; she worried about the conversation less and the topic of the conversation more, sometimes to the point that she was surprised she could forget it, ever, period. Even large pints of ice cream did not help; although since the breakup with Kou she had been indulging herself in them with greater frequency, and getting away with it because people thought (or would think, she told herself) that she was a woman scorned and thus ice cream was the most natural recourse.

Now, before they left the beach and the ability to have unpleasant discussions on lounge chairs on the sand, they had to do it. She'd let Maeko know, where she'd be and when, and now she was waiting. With a popsicle, because ice cream comforted all.
