[ It's not unusual for Hibiki and Akira to walk back together to the station, but today is special—he invited her to hang out in Leblanc and promised to make her any coffee she would like to drink. This seems to be a good call considering how cold it has got all of a sudden. They're really close to the train station when Akira hears her teeth chatter briefly just like she was trying to hide how cold she is.

He doesn't say anything until they're behind the ticket gates. After making sure they're not standing in people's way and no one will interrupt, Akira finally murmurs: ]

If you're counting on warming yourself up in the crowd on the train... that's a bit gross. Besides, I have a better idea.

[ If Hibiki expected some kind of an explanation... well, she's not getting any. Instead, Akira pulls her into an embrace without a word. ]
