TENKO'S POV

After getting out of school, I reach the front door of our apartment.

Tenko: What a day...

I take out my keys, unlock the door, and I head in.

Tenko: Danzoooo! I'm hooooome!

...

...

...

Tenko: ...And I'm guessing you aren't yet.

Sheesh. Busy as always. Guess I'm home alone again.

I shut the door behind me and hang the keys on a hook attached to the wall.

Tenko: Welp. Might as well make the most of it.

After getting into a fresh new pair of clothes - which was a little hard to do considering my... condition - I toss my bag into my room.

Good thing I had already done all my homework early on.

I head to the kitchen and pour myself a nice cup of tea with a piece of buttered toast to go with it, all while humming a cheery tune.

Tenko: Mmmmm~ Smells great.

I head to the living room where I set down my tea and toast, turn the TV on, and...

Tenko: Now to sit back, relax...

I take a deep breath.

Tenko: ...and enjoy paradise.

I release a long, satisfied exhale as I begin my evening chilling.

I'm expecting a visitor sooner or later, so I might as well make the most of this while I can.

In the process however, I couldn't help but think back to the events of earlier today.

Tenko: Hiro...

What was with him today?

Not only was he acting different, but... he felt like a totally different person too.

It was weird. And very concerning.

After he ran off, no one was able to catch up to him. Only the eyes in the sky know where on Earth he could've run off to.

I tried calling him a couple times, but he never responded.

I wonder where he is right now.

Tenko: Hmmm...

Man... Hope he's oka--

*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!*

Tenko: Oop-- Coming!

That must be them. Guess paradise will have to wait.

As I approach the door, the knocking continues, becoming faster and more frequent.

*BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM!*

Tenko: Just a sec! Jeez, someone's hasty.

As I unlock the door and open it, I'm met with a very unexpected surprise.

Tenko: What the--

...

...

HIRO'S POV

Tenko: Hiro?!

I stand outside the doorstep of Tenko's apartment door while he looks back at me, looking baffled and confused.
