Jakey has been messaging Leo these past few days. He's given him very few answers which Jake is not happy about.
Leo was back for such a short amount of time. Why did he leave?
He's tried to occupy himself with music for the upcoming internal concerts but his mind always wanders elsewhere. Leo has been messaging a lot less- his grandfather is in even worser condition.
Today, the 19th, Jake is working through music theory in his room when Roberto barged in.
'Sorry Jake. Have you see Chang?'
Jake gives him a VERY dirty look. 'No, why do you need him?'
'I need to get some stuff i left in our old room but for some reason I cant get in, the door is locked or something.'
'Jeez Roberto can't you find Mrs Knock? Besides I don't think the rooms here have locks.'
'Gang I wish I'm kidding but I ain't. just come and see.'
And so Jake did. and boy was it a good thing he went.
The two boys banged on it for ages to no avail. Eventually the found Mrs Knock.
She looked shock, that they were asking about it. 'Room 105? That's Chang's old room, he moved back to Hong Kong a few days ago.'
Jake and Roberto gave each other a look before thanking Mrs Knock and departing. Jakey couldn't help but trust his gut, that something is wrong.
That night he found Roberto. Together, they pick locked the lock of 105 (who knew it had a lock?) and went in. Inside it was dusty, all the furniture stacked upon one another. There is no way Chang only left a few days ago, too much dust has been collected.
'Oh! oh!,' Roberto holds up what he found from under the table... a naked anime figure. 'I knew Chang wouldn't take my one!' he then happily skipped out, leaving Jake alone.
Jake shined his phone light on every surface, till the desk in the back of the room, where he found a note. It read: Leo is at B89 Chongqing road SW.
'Huh. How Convenient of Chang to help me.' Jake stuffed it in his pocket before exiting.

That night Jake received a text from Leo.
He'd expected a grandpa update, or maybe a good night next.
But what he saw on his phone sank his heart.
'help me im in troub'
