Chapter Text
Junko had her head down on the desk. Her eyes were closed and it kinda looked like she was either sleeping or trying to sleep. That wasn’t really her intention, but she wouldn’t be against it, as school is about to end any minute now.
Right now, she was thinking about Rei and Wakami and how she couldn’t save them this school year. Sure, Ichi’s doing his work and perhaps he could wake Rei up by the end of the yea, but Wakami will still be a Witch. Even if he did wake Rei up, she’ll be two years behind Junko and even if she somehow got moved up a year, her and Junko wouldn’t be in the same class, much less the same grade, ever again.
At least Kazuko will still be with her.
The bell rang, signaling for everyone to leave.
Kazuko walked over to Junko and poked her on the head.
“Junko, Junko, wake up.”
She opened her eyes and turned to look at Kazuko.
“I wasn’t sleepy, I was just closing my eyes so that I could think.”
“What were you think about?”
“It was about Rei and Wakami and how we’ll never be in the same grade again.”
“Don’t be so sad, Junko! Today’s the last day of school. Think about what you’ll do over spring break and how you’ll be a third year at middle school.”
“I guess I should be happier. I’m only obligated to be in this hell hole called school for 3 more years.” Junko got up from the desk. “It’s time we get going.”
Junko and Kazuko walked out of the classroom.

The two girls arrived at Junko’s house a few minutes later.
“Well, Junko. It’s time I get going. Bye!”
“Bye, Kazuko.” She waved goodbye to her friend.
The brunette walked away, while Junko unlocked the door to her house. She opened the door and walked inside.
Naoko and Tomohisa were standing near the door. They were smiling.
“You did it!” Naoko cheerfully said. “You’re such a hard worker. You managed to finish your 2nd year of middle school after being absent for most of the year and then having to take care of a baby after you finally went back.”
Tomohisa ran over to Junko and hugged her: he buried his face into her chest.
“I’m so proud of you. A-Are you-“
“Yes, I’m going to be third year in middle school next year.”
Tomohisa’s eyes began welling up with tears.
“I-I love you.”
“Hey, don’t cry. I love you too. As long as you, mom and Madoka care about me, I’ll do anything to make you three happy.”
