As Kenji angrily hits the ball with his bat and misses a couple of times, he eventually tosses the bat across the virtual arena.
Kenji then lets out a scream and throws his fists into the air, hoping to let out his frustration.
"Kenji, I think it is time we call her," Mina says as she floats down to him.
He turns to her, "No. No way."
"Why so? You are struggling, Kenji. And she has always helped you through your ups and downs."
But Kenji lashes an arm out, "I said, no!" Followed by a sigh, the virtual arena disappeared and he made his way towards the couch and collapsed.
"Besides, we haven't talked since the breakup... If you call her now, she's going to kill me. And I mean that literally."
"Sorry, Kenji. But this is for your sake." Mina says before a ring comes from her, "Calling Akiko Hime."
As Mina dials the woman's number, Kenji frantically stands on his feet in an attempt to stop her.
But it was too late.
"Hello?"
Kenji freezes in place, "Akiko, hey, uhm..." He clears his throat, "Sorry to dial you, but do you have time to meet tonight?"
The other line goes quiet. As the silence engulfed the room, Kenji felt as if his thumping heartbeat was giving him away.
"I'll send you the address," She finally speaks, and the line hangs up.
Kenji takes a couple of blinks before dragging his hands down his face.
"I'm doomed. And it's all your fault, Mina."
