A Dose of Diamond Dust

Josuke gets angry and the police show up

Suddenly the figure of a pink and blue specter rose behind Josuke. It moved forward and struck the plate, deconstructing it and reconstructing its ingredients in the blink of an eye. "Dorararara!" Everything was revealed. The sauce yielded molasses, anchovies, tamarind extract, garlic, chili pepper extract, vinegar, sugar, and salt, along with the usual tomatoes, garlic, herbs, capers and onions of the marinara sauce. Josuke was shocked.

There was no sign of any tampering with the dish, no unusual chemicals. Nothing. He then slammed the plate on the floor because he was mad, and it broke. "This is a lie! There's no way..." Josuke began to think. "It's still not right... I've never once felt anything for Okuyasu yet half of me was just willing to accept it. I was barely able to pull myself away. And what was that name again? Hanagami? Isn't that..."

Suddenly the sound of sirens grew nearer, interrupting Josuke's train of thought. "They're already here? Damn. Don't they have anything better to do? I have no evidence against Okuyasu. I'm not ready to testify yet, for all I know it was consensual. But that can't be right." Suddenly Josuke realized that the police were approaching. "I've gotta get out of here. The Morioh police will think it was some sort of prank. I hope Mom doesn't wake up from the noise.

Josuke started to violently run up the stairs and head towards the window in the second floor hall. The police were already breaking down the door. Josuke opened the window as he heard the door splinter open, a full team of trained officers ready to swarm the household from outside. "Where are you going Josuke?" asked Tomoko, sleepily taking a step towards him from her doorway. Josuke looked over his shoulder at his mom, and jumped out of the window. He fell down and landed on the overhang behind the house, the porchlight casting his shadow across the backyard.
