"Don't you think you were a little hard on him earlier?" Ryoutarou said, breaking the silence in the living room. Shino kept her eyes locked to the ground, not wanting to look at her teacher, or get a lecture from him.
"I'm scared."
"Hm?"
"If Kirigaya keeps fighting without thinking for himself....it's going to get himself killed..." Shino said.
"You're-"
"Asada. Mr.Tsuboi." Asuna interrupted.
"Everything's ready, it's time to go."
"Alright, let's do this!" Ryoutarou yelled, standing from the couch.
"Are we sure about Kazuto not joining tonight?" Ryoutarou asked once again.
"It's fine. We'll have him watch Natsuki Moriyama while we find and save Sachi Mochizuki." Asuna replied, as she looked over toward Shino, who looked to be starring at the staircase that led to the next floor.
"Asada. It's time to go."
"....Roger."

"You're not going with them?" Natsuki said, descending the stairs from the girls floor.
"I was told that having me along would make her mad." Kazuto replied blankly, taking a sip of water from the bottle he got from the vending machine.
"Hm? What's up with that? Well, not that I care..." Natsuki said, walking past th black haired boy.
"You hated her that much...?"
"Huh..? You mean Sachi? Ha! Get real! Stuff like that doesn't have anything to do with hate. She annoys me, is all. She annoys me."
"....."
"Just poking at the poor girl, she gets this look on her face, like the world is going to end. I could just tell right off the bat she was a goody-goody. But deep-down, she was just like us. She didn't belong anywhere either. So I let her hang out with us. But you want to know what Sachi said to me? "You should go home, your family must be worried sick!" Can you believe that? I go out to party because I have no home!"
"...."
"We're birds of a feather. We're the same, so I know exactly what words to say that would hurt her!" Natsuki said, laughing a little as Kazuto remained silent.
"Oh come on, you gotta admit, it's pretty funny!"
".....Sachi said she wanted to apologize."
"Eh..?"
"She wanted to apologize for what she said to you....that's what she told me..."
"....Tch....it's too late for that."
"She said she was afraid you wouldn't forgive her."
"Sounds just like her."
"She said she was scared because you were her precious friend." Kazuto finished, throwing the bottle away and leaving Natsuki alone.
".....Why the hell is she like that...." Natsuki mumbled, a hint of guilt in her voice.
