~Keiji POV~

Well, I tried calling Takeshi again and I did tell him the situation, but I left out the part that Lala's awake because I wanna let him see for himself when I bring her over to Nameless City sometime.

However, no avail. I guess they really are dedicated to staying out of what went on, even if Lala isn't there anymore.

Instead of letting it get to me, I went out for a ride, just to clear my head until it was nightfall.

I decided to ride back to the shop and get ready to fight Kidra sometime, but while on the ride back to the shop, I was given a call by Madoka and I had to see what was wrong.

Keiji: Yeah?

Madoka: Keiji, think you can come by "Grandma Sada's"? We're having a group talk.

Keiji: Of course. See you then.

I then rode over to the store and I had to see what was going on. I'm sure they have more information about Arata and the situation they're in.

When I arrived, I walked in to see Fujio, Madoka, the brothers, and Seiji.

Madoka: Hey Keiji!

Keiji: How you doin'? Seiji.

Seiji: Good to see you, man.

I shook his hand, same with the brothers and Fujio, who looked happy to see me, but he knew that I was being serious, so he quit the smile and got to business.

Keiji: Mind if I sit down?

Madoka: Of course.

I sat down and I looked to get some information from these kids. I mean, with Lala being awake and my kid being in the incubator right now, any bit helps.

Keiji: You guys have some new information about Arata, right?

Madoka: We do.

Keiji: What's going on with him?

Seiji: Well, you might wanna hear it from me. I saw him the other night, visiting Grandma Sada's grave. I tried talking to him, but I couldn't get through to him the way he is now. It would explain why I have a bruise on my jaw.

Keiji: Really? I didn't notice that. Let me look at ya.

He did as I checked his jaw and it was bruised.

Seiji's the kinda kid to not get into fights since he's the bookworm of the group.

He always stayed in school, never got into trouble, just an all around good kid, but for Arata to do this to one of his childhood friends, it pissed me off.

Keiji: Yeah. It's bruised, alright. Gotta get some ice.

Seiji: I plan on it.

Fujio: What the heck has gotten into Arata?

Madoka: They're in debt.

Keiji: Huh?

Madoka: Arata's mom has been in the hospital for quite a long time.

Masaya: Is she sick?

Madoka: She's got cancer.

Keiji: What the fuck?

Madoka: I went to the hospital to see her. The hospital fees and treatment costs are really high. She said Arata is working hard to earn enough to pay the bills. She kept crying and saying, "I feel so sorry for Arata."
