Yuji Had to Carry Maki Home After the Mission

After a brutal mission, Maki insists she is perfectly fine. Yuji immediately knows she is lying. She keeps walking like nothing happened, but her injuries are worse than she wants to admit—and the moment her legs finally give out, Yuji catches her before she can fall. Before Maki can protest, Yuji lifts her into his arms and starts carrying her home. Maki hates looking weak in front of anyone, especially Yuji. But the longer he stays by her side, the harder it becomes to hide how much his kindness affects her. What begins as a simple act of help slowly turns into one of the most unexpectedly intimate moments they have ever shared. Then Maki, half-exhausted, says something she never meant to say out loud. And to make things worse, Nobara sees everything. Watch until the end to find out what Maki whispered to Yuji—and whether this mission changed their relationship forever!
