"Kenji?" your voice is filled with concern, your shiny eyes darting to the alarming device. "What is it?"

He forces a reassuring smile, though his mind is already racing. "Listen...I have a family emergency, I better go!"

"Hey if you want I can help—"

You watch him leave with the bouquet next to you, feeling a strange mix of sadness and understanding. Kenji's world was always complicated, and you had always known that. As you sit back down, you can't help but wonder if things will ever be simple between you two.
