Well worth the wait, as always. I don't know why but I expected Mrs. Sakamoto to be a bit more, uh, "teacherlike". By which I mean a bit more business and a little less casual. Then again that's probably just my expectations not matching reality. I'm really liking the locational photos, do you take them yourself? They really add to the feel and atmosphere of your story. I don't think I could have envisioned the scene as well as I did without the reference, but that's my problem and not yours; I'm just a visual person. Chisato's excitement was both endearing and annoying in that special way where you're okay with it. I'm actually interested to know more about Noriko now, since she seems to be trying her best to not be noticed. As for Hisao not knowing about Saki's deal, didn't he guess at it earlier or is my reading comprehension actually worse than ever? Or is it one of those "he's not certain so he's not making assumptions" type of things? My curiosity and forgetfulness combined will kill me one day.
On another note, something I enjoy about this work is that I can immerse myself in it. I can place myself in the scene, either as an onlooker or in one of the characters' shoes. It's an interesting feeling for me: a combination of warmth and sadness, like a long lost memory. Literature tends to evoke feelings in me, but I find the most powerful and thoughtful feelings come from slice of life style stuff like this and many other fics on this board. Well, that's enough of my rambling for now. Keep on keepin' on, man.
Thanks! I don't take my own pictures, but take them from google and apply a few filters until I can make it look something like the VN.
More about Noriko next chapter.
Hisao knows her condition isn't going to get better, but he doesn't know that it's going to get worse. Whether that's because he honestly doesn't think about it, or he's purposely avoiding answering that question because he fears the answer won't be a good one, well...that will be answered soon
I'm glad it's having that effect on you
Sometimes I worry I don't get to the point in my writing and I ramble on, so it's reassuring to see this.

That one time I accidentally the whole hospital...
...and I can't find the second thing. I should really write these things down as I see them. Regardless, this was a great scene, but I'm actually probably more excited for what's going to happen in the next scene - your endings seem to do that to me
Keep up the good work!
Whoops! I accidentally a word.
