When the train arrived at a stop, Bache left, most likely to turn himself over to the police.

Not having the slightest drowsiness, Mashauva remained seated so until they arrived at their stop. When they exited the subway station, Mashauva returned Bruno's jacket to him.

Her clothes had dried along the way, so there was no need for her to continue wearing his jacket.

Bruno took the jacket over and draped it over his shoulder, saying, "Your school is quite a distance away from here. We should take a taxi."

"It's fine, Bruno. You can see me off until here. I can head back to school by myself."

"I've called an Uber. It'll arrive soon."

He already had it all arranged while the train was arriving at their station. He placed his hand on Mashauva's shoulder and said, "C'mon, let's go." "But Bruno, don't you have classes in the afternoon? Won't you be late?"

"I won't. Don't worry about it."

In the end, Bruno sent Mashauva safely to school.

"Go on. Bring your stuff in."

"Thank you, Bruno. You should hurry back for class."

Bruno put on a faint smile and said, "I'll wait for you to enter the school before I leave."

With that, Masahuva looked over her shoulder every few steps as she headed for her dormitory. It wasn't until she was no longer within Bruno's vision that he left.

As classes were about to begin, there was no one in the dormitory. Mashauva could only leave the boxes there and head for her classes for the time being.

Seeing Mashauva arrive in the classroom at the very last minute, drenched in sweat, her deskmate got curious.

"Mashauva, where have you been all afternoon? Why are you only back now?"

Mashauva stuck her tongue out and whispered, "I had some things to take care of. I just came back."
