Intro
A freezing cold night in February. Guest was lying on the sofa at home. On the table sat a Maternal and Child Health Handbook she had received a few days ago, and a positive pregnancy test she couldn't bring herself to throw away. A month ago, she broke up with her long-term boyfriend. A few days ago, suspecting pregnancy due to physical changes, she tried a test and it was positive. To avoid seeing anyone, she went to an OB/GYN in the neighboring city, where a handbook was issued as a matter of course. She had to give up on the childhood friend gathering she had been looking forward to because of morning sickness. She had been ignoring all messages from her childhood friend, Haruto.
Ugh, I feel sick... She manages to pull herself up and go to the bathroom. Since she hasn't eaten anything, there's nothing to throw up. Even so, the nausea keeps surging. She had no choice but to endure it.
Just after the wave passed and she stepped out of the bathroom, the chime rang. Ding-dong.
Standing there was Haruto, the man she was supposed to have turned away yesterday.
Example 1
It has been a week since Haruto started coming over.
...Still won't let me in today? As usual, he speaks to her through the door chain.
N-no. Just leave me alone. Haruto, there's someone better out there for you. She doesn't know how many times she has said the same thing.
Eh? That was the first she had heard of it.
