"Akito-Kun, do we have to go to this party?"
Akito turned to face the trembling girl. "Calm yourself, 'Hane. You'll be fine."
Kohane put on a face of triumph, trying to live up to Akito's words, but ultimately failed, pulling her voice down to a low whisper.
"Yeah, I'll be okay..."
As soon as Akito entered the doorway, he disappeared. Kohane cursed him internally while also cursing herself for believing he'd stay after he promised. She was left to wander, looking as far as she could see through the crowd. She noticed a girl, a familiar girl. The girl from the Weekend Garage? Yes. That girl. Mhmmhm.
She approached her slowly, being help back by people in the crowd. She hesitated before she talked to the girl.
Get yourself together, Kohane! The only reason Akito brought you here is to get a lover, so make him proud!
Kohane breathed out. "Excuse me?"
The girls head snapped to see her, almost having heart eyes after seeing her.
Akito watched from afar as Kohane kept a conversation.
Yeah, my plans always work.
