She leans into his body and allows the heartwarming embrace envelop her.
Arata lets go and Kaede takes a step forward.
She smiles and says,
"Thanks a lot! I feel much better!"
"You're welcome."
He says as he tousles her hair.
"H-hey! Stop! My hair will be messy!"
"That's the whole point!! Rahhhh!!!"
