After the dreaded walk towards the unknown fate ahead, Miyuki would be left with no choice other than be greeted by their patiently waiting boss. He was in a spare empty room in the back of the shelter with eight other guys and girls lounged around him. The boss was reclining in a bean bag chair, some of the members were casually sitting with each other and talking about their day, and... oddly... no one was glaring daggers at Miyuki. Actually, when the boss first took sight of her, he gleefully greeted her himself!
The boss was... him!
"It-it's you!" Miyuki said in shock. "Y-you're the boss?!"
"The Boss?!" the boy exclaimed, finding amusement in the label. He then turned to the two that brought Miyuki in. "Hey, didn't I say not to refer to me as such? The joke was funny the first time, but when you go around telling the world that you know 'the boss's identity when you don't, it starts to get really irritating, yeah?"
The first guy would hang his head low and sigh, quick to apologize to the boy. The second would do the same.
"Now go get some lunch, it's free. It's a chicken sandwich this time with a side of rice and veggies." The boy said dismissively, then reaching his hand out for Miyuki to shake. "I never got to tell you my name. I'm Sora, Sora Kaze."
Miyuki looked at his hand awkwardly, then tilted her head. "D-do you want my pants or something?"
Sora, in disbelief, stared at Miyuki. After a few moments of realization, he pulled his hand back and gently laughed. "Y-yeaaaah no, apologies"
"N-no, it's fine! I don't really get it though. What is that supposed to mean?"
"It's a handshake, we have a lot of foreigners coming through New Tako and they're more familiar with that kind of gesture, so I've kinda gotten adapted to it"
"Oh... so wait, am I supposed to grab your hand and shake it?"
"Y-yeah, that's the premise of it. We can work on it later, but that's besides the point, heh heh." He'd say before immediately switched the subject. "So I heard you were dumpster diving in the neighbor's trash bin?"
Sekken would sudden wheeze, before blurting out loudly "PFFFFHAHAAHAHAA, ME? DUMPSTER DIVING?! WHY WOULD I DO THAT?! HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA–aaaaaaaaa..." The yell would end up drawing the attention of everyone in the room, who then stared at her in silence, leaving Miyuki feeling embarrassed. "...yeah, I was." Miyuki quietly admitted, her face turning red.
"What were you doing in there? Trash day was yesterday, so of course it was empty of any food you'd want."
"Eww! Wait, so people actually eat from the trash can?! That's totally gross!" Miyuki asked, gagging a little.
"Miyuki, are you feeling okay?" Sora asked, then reaching to place a hand on her forehead. "You're acting really strange all of a sudden."
"M-me? Strange?" Miyuki anxiously questioned while backing up a little to get some space.
"Yeah, I don't recall you expressing yourself like this when I first met you.. I'm glad you're willing to open up though."
"E-eheh, Uh, Yeah! I-I wish I could say I'm opening up, but really, I'm on the verge of having an all out panic attack!" She frantically exclaimed, then placed her jittery hand on the doorknob to try and exit the room.
The boy wore a worried expression on his face, who then grabbed on her shoulder gently and tried to pull her back inside. "Sekken, please. Calm down! You're gonna blow a nerve and get someone hurt if you panic. There's nothing to panic about, right? What's the matter? Please talk to me."
