NA is a chapter in After the Rain.

Summery
Akira Tachibana wakes up from sleeping on her desk. She finds she is alone in her class. She checks her phone when someone calls to her. She turns and finds Takashi Yoshizawa grinning and blushing at her. He greets her with "Morning!" She tells him that schools over, and he replies he says that it's because she was asleep. He asks if she uses Line, but she says no. As he tries to encourage her to get it, she realizes the time and leaves without him noticing.

Akira runs to the bus stop. She gets a sudden pain in her ankle and stops. She misses the bus, so she sighs and sits down at the bus stop. She hears people cheering somewhere close as she rubs her ankle.

At the Café Restaurant "Garden," Akira notices Masami Kondou apologizing to a customer. Kubo tells Akira that he's pathetic. She asks what else he can do, so Kubo agrees and says that it's his kind of life that is pathetic. He comes and puts the order before going back. Kubo goes to take an order, so she says for Tachibana to take her break.
