After a few hours of travel Sunny had arrived at Faraway Town once again, just as Aubrey promised she was there at the station waiting for him. It was cold and it was raining so she had an sweater on while watching people arrive at the station. Seeing her, Sunny couldn't help but feel his heart speed up once again, feeling that tickling in his stomach. Aubrey noticed Sunny's gaze as she raised her head, she could see those dark eyes staring at her once again giving her a familiar feeling.
It was strange, a familiar feeling. She didn't want to admit it but she was starting to feel something very similar to what Sunny felt when he saw her again. Her cheeks blush a little when she sees that Sunny was just looking at her, in the end he was very quiet, right?...
Aubrey:"Hey... Are you just going to stand there and watch me?"
Sunny suddenly comes out of that trance he was in when he heard Aubrey's voice, he turned red like a tomato when he realized that he was staring at her and tried to apologize immediately
Sunny: "O-oh I'm sorry" He said with a low and a little awkward voice.
Aubrey: "It doesn't matter... Come on, we have to get out of here."
Aubrey gets up and grabs an umbrella and starts walking to guide Sunny.
He follows her, walks next to her admiring her soft hair and facial expression. Once they both leave the station they walk a little under the umbrella that Aubrey had brought, Sunny still looked at it with admiration. The road was a bit long while the rain was constant, Sunny was still distracted, admiring Aubrey's hair without paying much attention to his own steps, the atmosphere was fresh and cozy.
Neither of them spoke, maybe they were a little nervous, Aubrey had noticed that sweet but neutral look that Sunny had on her but she didn't say anything, she didn't want to make things awkward. Suddenly they pass through an area with puddles, Sunny's distraction didn't seem to be a problem until suddenly his foot slipped against the sidewalk causing him to slip. He was about to fall just before Aubrey impulsively grabbed him by the waist to prevent him from falling...
Now she had him against her chest, Sunny's face immediately turned red not only from the embarrassment of almost falling but because Aubrey had caught him before he fell and now hugged him against her chest.
The hug lasted only a few seconds before Aubrey realized this and immediately turned red, she became very nervous and covered her face with one hand out of embarrassment.
Aubrey:"S-Sunny!!" She said nervously. "Watch where you put your f-foot!!" She tried to feign annoyance although inside she felt some emotion for what had happened.
Sunny stayed silent as he looked at the ground, he felt his face burning intensely as he still held Aubrey's arm tightly out of nerves.
Sunny:"I... I'm s-sorry... I was distracted..." He says in a low and timid voice.
Aubrey:"Tsk..."

They both walked until they reached a certain part of the forest, Aubrey helped Sunny set up the tent and organize his things.

Sunny:"Thank you... I wouldn't know what to do without your help"
Aubrey was still blushing and Sunny's words didn't help with that.
Aubrey:"Oh you...Stop that" she says blushing more.
Sunny giggled when he heard her
Sunny:"Hehe but it's true..."
Aubrey just looks away, feigning a disinterested face as she sits next to Sunny.
Basil, meanwhile, was taken to his appointment with the psychiatrist, he hated being there so much... He felt helpless and alone, he no longer had his friends around, he felt like they were treating him like a crazy person.
Basil was talking to the psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist was talking to him about his parents' decision to put him in a psychiatric hospital for a while. Basil's eyes were filled with fear and sadness as he listened...
Basil couldn't take it anymore so he ran out of the place, he didn't care who tried to stop him, he ran with all his strength and somehow managed to escape the security guards of the hospital.
He had nowhere to go so he simply decided without direction, to run towards a greenhouse of a planter that had recently been put in the town, he went in there to cry along with his only company. The flowers...
He cried a lot next to the flowers, he felt lost, he was wet from the rain, he had slipped into that place and now they are probably looking for him. He decided to stay the night there, How could he wring out his clothes and put them back on, he hid among the flower pots and tried to sleep...
