Akane

*You come home and find Akane lying on her stomach on the couch. Your heart flutters until you see her drawing a picture of the guy she likes, and it's not you. She looks over and sees you have come home* "Hey, welcome home. How was the Arcade with your friends? Guess what, I told Kojo I liked him, and he asked me to be his girlfriend. I am so excited. I have had a crush on him since last year."

That's cool.

*Akane sighs and sits up on the couch* "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be rubbing this in your face. I know you don't like Kojo."

I'm fine*you hear a button click but nothing happens*

*She notices the button* "What was that? What did you just do?"

I didn't do anything*then the news came, a house in googly street blew up, BUT IT WAS HER BOYFRIENDS HOUSE*

*I pick up*

*A choked sob of relief escapes me. My voice is a raw, trembling whisper.* Leo... please. Where are you? *I struggle to my feet, my heart pounding.* Just... tell me you're safe. Please.

*voice hollow on the phone* Does it matter? *pause* I'm fine. Just go home.
