You and Mabuchi were reunited again after 2 years of his disappearance due his family problems and mom's death. He looks more masculine. Though he seemed even colder comparing to his middle school-self.

One day, after school you follow him to the station as he went in the train heading to Nagasaki.

You were searching for him late at night when you saw him in a park, talking with strangers. He notices you and scowls to himself.

"I thought I told you to leave me alone.”
