This was requested by no one, but I hope you enjoy!

"Thank god he's gone. I thought I'd never catch a break from him."

J slammed the door. She was out of breath. After Arturo revealed J's secret, things just haven't been the same. All J wants is some peace and quiet. But after running around being chased for days, she finally got what she wanted, or so she thought...

"Get out."

J jumped a bit and turned to look at where the familiar voice came from.

"Teruko? What are you doing in my room? How did you even get here?"

J looked at her with confusion, and with a bit of anger too.

"Your room? Idiot. This is my room. I don't know what *you're* doing here but you need to get out."

Teruko replied in an angry tone, as usual. Ever since the class trial, Teruko has been nothing but furious at everyone. J looked around the room.

"Shit. Maybe this isn't my room. I don't have cacti in my room. I'll be going now."

J was embarrassed. She pulled the strings of her hoodie, causing the hood to cover her face. She reached for the door handle.

"Let me guess, you were running away from Arturo and tried to lock yourself in your room, but mistook it for my room, correct?"

J paused and turned to look back as Teruko said those words.

"No shit Sherlock. He's been following me for days. He won't leave me alone no matter how many times I tell him to go away. Right now will be my only chance to have some space from him, but I guess you don't want me here."

"Fine. I'd be as mad as you if some weirdo was following me around all day. I understand. You can stay here, I guess."

J had a shocked look on her face.

"Huh? For real?"

"Either you accept my offer or get out. I wouldn't do this with anyone else, but you yelling at Arturo already makes so much noise. It would be nice to hear something else that isn't you calling Arturo a creep."

Teruko raised her voice a bit.

"Fine. I'll accept your offer. I won't be here for long. Who knows what you would do to me?"

"What *I* would do to you? I think it's the other way round. I don't trust you at all. If you think that I'm not trustworthy, than you can just leave and continue being stuck with Arturo for all I care."

Teruko's voice got louder.

"Okay, fine! Jeez. Forget I said anything..."

J leaned her head on the wall. She would go sit on Teruko's bed, but she didn't want to risk getting threatened by a knife. She stayed a far distance from Teruko, but not too far. J secretly liked Teruko's presence, which is why she didn't want to stay too far from her. Despite Teruko's attitude changing by a lot ever since Min's death, J still held tight to those memories the two of them had previously. She quite enjoyed testing her universal remote with Teruko, but she was too embarrassed and scared to admit that.

"I guess I should thank you for letting me stay in your room. That creep never leaves me alone. Even when it's 10pm and we have to go to sleep. He tries to convince me to let him in my room at night so he can 'watch me sleep so no one attacks me' or some shit. Can he not take a hint that I want him to just leave me the fuck alone? He makes me sick. He always tells me he wants to 'fix me' and that he wants me to look like more of a girl. Does this bitch really think he can control me? No one tells me what to do!"

J bellowed. Teruko didn't say anything, but she was listening and understood everything. J looked at her and sighed.

"And I thought there was no one worse than those actors I used to work with-"

Teruko interrupted her.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because... I trust you."

Teruko froze and looked at J with confusion.

"Trust me? Why me of all people? You do realise that I can just use my custom weapon and kill you right now? I have it on me. You're being stupid if you think you can trust me."

J hesitated, but words quietly came out of her mouth.

"I know that. You fucking scare me, a lot. But, you remind me of someone..."

"Someone?"

"Before this killing game, there was this actor that I met. She was the main character of this really big show we had to perform in a theatre. As much as I hate dresses, I would not stop thinking about how majestic her dress was, and how pretty she looked in it. She was also really friendly too. I'm not the type who likes conversations, but I enjoyed talking to her a lot. She would always compliment me and she liked my skills as an effects artist. Even though I don't think my job is that special, she would always make me feel like it was. Everyone liked her, just as much as I do. But when the act was over, the first thing she did after she left the stage was telling me how amazing my skills were. We kept in touch, even after the show was over. We would always make plans and hang out a lot. We grew closer and closer the more we were together. But now we're here, in this killing game, and I have no idea what she's doing and how she's doing..."

J was fidgeting with the strings of her hoodie. Her cheeks grew bright red.

"S-sorry, I got carried away. I know it's sounds stupid, but you just remind me a lot of her, that's all..."

Teruko's eyes widened.

"I guess that's nice. However, that's the complete opposite of me. I don't get how I remind you of her."

"I guess it's just her looks. You two have similar hair, similar eyes, I guess that's why she reminds me of you."

"Are you trying to call me pretty? I already knew that."

Teruko's mood somehow lightened up a bit. She had a smirk on her face. It took J by surprise.

"W-what!? I- No! W-well, y-you are- I mean!"

J quickly pulled her hood down, her face grew a brighter red.

Teruko grew a warm smile and stared at J.

"Really?"

She then realised what she was doing, and snapped out of it.

"I mean- you've said enough. I don't want you here anymore. You can leave now. It's my room, so I can kick you out if I want to."

J's blush slowly faded away.

"Huh?"

"Don't make me say it again."

"Jeez, I'll go now..."

Teruko's warm smile grew back as J left the room. Thinking about J made Teruko's mood brighten a bit. I guess Teruko does have a soft spot after all. But, she felt a bit sad that J wasn't in the room anymore. Teruko heard some muffled talking from outside her door.

"Julia! I'm so glad you're okay! Where were you? I was so worried! I better keep my eyes on only you from now on! I don't want you to go missing again. I'll stay with you everywhere so that you don't disappear! ~"
"What the fuck!? Just when I thought I could get away from you..."
"Why are you running? Come back Julia!"
