A few weeks later...

Location - Live House CiRCLE, Lobby

Yukina's POV

Roselia has been so busy with the agency lately that we never took the time to relax and truly enjoy ourselves. We decided that we were going to go to CiRCLE and see if (Y/N) wants to join us. We haven't seen or heard from him after the incident with Shirasagi, so this could be a good chance to catch up.

We arrived at CiRCLE and walked in. However, Marina was the only one there. There was no (Y/N) or Takeru anywhere. I had a feeling Takeru wouldn't show up because of what happened, but where could (Y/N) be?

"Oh, Yukina-chan. And all of Roselia, too." Marina said as she greets us like she always does.

"Hello, Marina-san." Sayo said. "Is (Y/N)-kun here?"

"Honestly, no, not really." She replied.

This was making nervous.

"Then... do you know... where he is?" Rinko asked.

"Nope. I haven't seen him since he took off a few weeks ago after talking to Takeru-kun."

"Nani?!"

"Takeru-san... was here?!" Rinko exclaimed.

"Y-Yeah, he was." Marina stuttered a bit.

"What did he want?" Ako asked.

That's when Marina told us about Takeru's backstory and his reason for being friends with (Y/N) and kidnapping Shirasagi. I can understand why (Y/N) would be mad at him, but for the rest of us, are feelings are rather mixed to say the least.

"Takeru... really went through all of that, huh?" Lisa said.

"I had no idea." Rinko said.

"There's no need to feel sorry for him." Sayo said.

"Sayo is right." I chimed in. "Despite his objectives, he had no reason to betray (Y/N)-kun and kidnap Shirasagi-san."

"Well, I guess that's true." Lisa said.

"I think it might be a good idea to find (Y/N)-kun and talk to him." Sayo said.

"In that case, I'll go with you." Lisa said.

"Very well. We'll leave it up to the two of you." I said.

"Make sure you bring (Y/N)-san back, alright?" Marina asked.

"Right."

"We'll be back."

Lisa and Sayo left CiRCLE to go find (Y/N). I just hope that he's ok, otherwise my heart would be broken.

Meanwhile...

Location - Residental Area

Sayo's POV

Imai and I did our best to look for (Y/N) everywhere. The mall, the downtown area, the train station, the riverside side... No matter how hard we look, (Y/N) is nowhere to be seen. And homestly, my heart is broken just from thinking about it.

"So Sayo, do you have an idea where we should look next?" Imai asked as the two of us entered the neighborhood.

"Honestly, no, I do not." I replied.

"Huh?! You don't know?!"

"No, he hasn't been answering his phone and we don't know where he lives." I said as ky feelings were starting to get to me.
