The duo walked down the streets of Morioh not far from their highschool. The only one with a pep in their step was Josuke. Swinging his school case freely, as Okuyasu kept his swung over his shoulder with a wide walking stance which he found comfortable at times. "I heard from my mom a small food stand opened up in a few minutes away from St. Gentlemens if you wanted to give it a try." Jojo turning his head to look at the very exhausted Okuyasu, as he responded with a weak shrug. Josuke sighed, "Aye Okuyasu? are you doing okay? did you still not get those ten hours of sleep?" he questioned as he stopped walking.

He jumped lightly as the chills ran from the location Josuke's hand was placed down to his back.

Walking ahead, Josuke's expression shifted into a concerned glare. Following behind Okuyasu who was ahead of him a few steps ahead. What was really bothering Okuyasu? he could only think.
