“...Welcome back.”

I should have been happy to be able to come home on time for the first time in a while, but my body felt heavy.

I wanted to hurry home and take a shower... and with my head down, I started walking through the park as a shortcut.

"...Welcome back. Off work?"

I felt like someone was talking, and when I slowly looked up, there was Hinata-kun, holding a shopping bag.

"...What's wrong?"

Maybe he noticed that something was off about me, because his familiar blank face quickly changed into a worried expression.
