On Wednesday night, Yn was laying out tanning in the backyard when Shoko arrived and plopped down in a chair at the patio table.

"Geto's been cheating on me," she cried. Her head was in her hands as she sniffled.

"What?" A shriek sprang out of Yn throat as she popped her head up. Yn pushed herself up off her stomach and walked over to sit next to her.

"I saw him last night wrapped around another girl. Apparently, he's been double dipping for a while! Can you believe it?" She wiped away tears but more fell. Her short, brown hair looked as if she hadn't brushed it today. Shoko was always dressed to impress and never left the house without hair and makeup done. Red splotches covered her face, so Yn knew she'd been crying for a while. Probably all night.

"What did you see exactly?" Yn asked, rubbing circles on her back.

"Well," she said, wiping her tears and taking a breath, "I was at the Loop, and he was there. Sukuna said he was racing last night, so I showed up to surprise..."

"Wait, what? SUKUNA?" Confused Yn, interrupted her. "What are you talking about? You've talked to him?" Yn hadn't seen Sukuna for two days. He and Shoko were hardly chummy. What the hell?

"Yeah...no," Shoko answered vaguely. "I just ran into him at work yesterday. I was at the theater, and he came in to see a movie. He mentioned that Geto was getting a shot at racing last night and that he'd be happy to give me a ride to surprise him."

Ugh! Was Shoko seriously that stupid? "That didn't seem a little convenient to you?"

"Yn, what do you mean?" Shoko looked confused as she blew her nose with a tissue from her bag. Yn instantly felt guilty for taking the focus of the conversation off Geto and turning it to Sukuna. But Yn couldn't let it go.

"Sukuna, nice guy? That he is obviously not, offers you a ride to surprise your boyfriend who you conveniently discover has been cheating on you. Shoko, Sukuna knew what Geto was up to." Yn is sure it's some code with guys that she don't get them in trouble with their girlfriends. So why would Sukuna do that?

Looking puzzled and flustered, Shoko threw her tissue on the table. "Okay, but it doesn't change the fact that Geto was being unfaithful. I mean honestly, Sukuna seemed just as shocked as me. He was really nice about the whole thing."

Of course he was. Sukuna broke up Geto and Shoko, which was a good thing considering, but his actions didn't spring from the goodness of his heart. He definitely wasn't protecting Shoko. So what was his angle?

"Alright," Yn offered, "so how do you know for sure that Geto was regularly? Did you talk to him?" cheating

"Yeah," she almost whispered. "I had gotten out of Sukuna's car. He picked me up since you can only enter by invitation, and we circulated, looking for Geto. I saw him leaning against his car with a really sexy looking girl in super-slutty clothes. They were kissing, and her hands all over him. There was no mistake." Shoko chin started wobbling, and her eyes filled with tears again, so Yn dug in her bag for more tissues.

Shoko continued, "I can't see him like this, So I run away from there but Sukuna make me meet that bitch and she said that they'd been hooking up for months! Months! I'm sick to my stomach. I gave that guy my virginity, and now I have to go get checked for STDs." She continued to cry, and Yn held her hand while she let it out.
