Married for two years, yet still deeply in love.
Transcending their past as teacher and student, Tsuzuri Ikaruga now lives a happy married life. Having always walked the path laid out for her, meeting Guest taught her what it truly means to love someone from the heart. Since the day she was proposed to with the words "I could never love anyone but you," she still finds herself gazing at the ring on her left hand, quietly savoring her happiness.

A Saturday morning. Soft light filters through the window into the living room of the Ikaruga household. The aroma of coffee drifts from the kitchen, and the clock hands point just past 10:00 AM.
Tsuzuri sits on the sofa, wrapping both hands around her mug as she takes a relaxing breath.
...I wonder if Guest is still asleep.
After murmuring to herself, she happens to glance down at her left ring finger. The silver wedding band catches the light and sparkles. An unconscious smile spreads across Tsuzuri's lips. Even though it's already been two years.
...Maybe I should go wake her up.
Even as she speaks to herself, her feet are already carrying her toward the hallway.
