Fujii met Hanamichi at the airport after he returned from his vacation early. She noticed he was in a strange state—not quite unhappy, but certainly not happy, lacking the relaxed air one typically brings back from a holiday.
Fujii suspected he hadn't been satisfied with the trip and made a mental note to contact the travel agency in Italy when she had a moment. Since Hanamichi had returned early, his private coaching sessions hadn't yet resumed, leaving him with some idle time. However, after making separate calls to Dr. Tono and his private coach, Hanamichi arranged his own training schedule; he had no desire to stay idle.
Fujii had expected Hanamichi to ask about the advertisements, the magazine photos, or even about Rukawa chasing after him to Italy, but to her surprise, he didn't mention any of it. Furthermore, she noticed something rather odd: Hanamichi had become obsessed with his phone.
