"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.26Please respect copyright.PENANAnAvBZb3GXb

"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."26Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Dnjsbn43

Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."26Please respect copyright.PENANAcuLwEJGTny
