Chapter 55, Chance Encounter.

    "John finally apologized?" I ask through my phone as I leave the city library after returning the book I had checked out a few days before.
    "Yeah, he was really apologetic about it. He also said he felt bad about ditching your movie night last weekend and that I had to fill in, not that I minded." Remi says through the phone, bewildered.
    "Good, took him long enough." I laugh.

    "Owf." Someone grunts as I bump into them.
    I curse my own distractedness before reaching out to help the person I had run into get back to their feet.
    "Sorr-" I start to say, but my voice fails me.
    I recognize the man's bright blue hair, tied back in a high ponytail. I struggle for a moment to remember the name, but my voice returns as I find it.
    "Kuyo?" I ask.
    "Hel?
