THE REFRESHING EVENING BREEZE blew through Y/n's hair as she headed to work. Having the shift at that hour was pretty crap, but she couldn't complain given Reki's current condition. The Dope Sketch had become empty and silent, turning her work into something boring and melancholy. Every so often, wandering around the laboratory, she liked to imagine seeing the boy working on a new skate, letting his perfume fill the room due to some personal belongings he left there.
Especially because of this new monotony during her shifts at the shop, she certainly did not expect to find Langa in Mr. Oka's place. Y/n frowned as soon as, opening the entrance door, she noticed him chatting with the little fennec-fox Sketchy, who gave him a disinterested look. His bowed head turned to her figure as the bell announced that someone was entering, automatically saying a "Welcome-".
"Oh, hello Y/n. I didn't see you there.", continued the bluenette, greeting her with his hand. The girl was destabilized for a moment, "Hi, Langa. Why are you wearing the employees' shirt?", she asked, while the pet she loved so much jumped into her arms, "And why were you bothering Sketchy?". The boy innocently shook his head, "I wasn't bothering Sketchy! I'm replacing Reki, I'll cover his shift for a while, so I'm just feeding this little brat.", he clarified and she nodded.
She would no longer be spending so much time at the Dope Sketch with Reki, but nothing prevented her from meeting him as she had done the day before to watch a movie together. Also, it would have been an opportunity to get to know Langa better, on the other hand, they had never spoken much. She was an aggressive and reserved girl, while he was introverted and calm, so they had never felt the need to know their interests, especially after their conversation at the hospital.
"Y/n?", Langa then recalled her, gaining her attention, "Do you think I'm getting worked up about this?", he asked. The girl didn't understand what he was implying, so she urged him to continue, "What are you talking about?", she replied, then tilted her head slightly to the side and let Sketchy jump out from her grasp. The boy's eyes remained glued to the floor, "About the match against Adam. Maybe I'm making Reki worry too much about it.".
Y/n scratched the back of her neck, embarrassed, "Well, if I had been in your shoes I probably wouldn't have even accepted the challenge given the enormous risk of getting hurt without proving anything.", she paused, letting him think, then resumed, "But it's also true that you are Hasegawa Langa. I can't imagine you helpless after that freak hurt Reki, your best friend, that badly.", she continued. A small smile formed on her lips, "Reki is special. I can't believe anyone could have done this to him. So since I'm convinced you have the skills to beat that man, there's something I want to ask you!".
