I never mentioned anything about Hara's episode to anyone. Instead of talking to her and making sure she was okay, I ignored the topic. To me, it even seemed like that's what she wanted because she acted completely fine after. As if nothing happened.

However in September, I didn't get to see much of Hara. She had gone on a trip to some villages she planned to volunteer in and was in and out the whole month. It didn't help that I worked 24/7 either. Although we did have a few conversations over the phone, I wanted her with me. Badly. Ever since we became closer in July, I yearned for her company more and more. Everything about her became addicting; her voice, her face, her presence. I missed her so much it even scared me. I had never wanted someone so badly.

I guess I'd be crazy for sticking with her even after that episode she had, but if anything that episode made me more curious about her. More eager to be with her. Hara was like a brand new book, and as for now I've only read a few chapters and I want to read more.
