EX-istential Crisis

Chapter 18: The Twin Angels

The homies' group chat was buzzing as usual, especially with their newly added member, Eremiya. Nelly, Ryan, Shin, Dan, Beru, Neisan, Ein, Amadeus, Hiroto, and now Eremiya were all chatting, brainstorming ideas for how to spend their break week.

Ryan: "Yo, fellas, since it's break week, what do you say we plan a trip or something?"

Shin: "Yeah, before we all turn into zombies from sitting around doing nothing. Somewhere fun, somewhere new."

Neisan: "Oh, like Hawaii again?" He chuckled, still riding high on the memories of his recent trip.

Dan: "Bruh, Neisan, you've been back for two days and haven't even opened your socials. You missed out on something crazy."

Neisan: "Yeahh! I know I could've have watched your band performance"

Beru: "No 'Band Me Daddy' event for you."

Neisan: "How would I know? I already planned for the trip" His text was filled with exaggerated despair.

Amadeus: "You were off sipping piña coladas in paradise, bro. But don't worry, we've got the whole thing recorded."

Ein: "Speaking of which, we should meet up at the café and watch it together. Plus, it'll be easier to plan our trip in person."

Ryan: "Good idea! We can brainstorm while we're at it. How about White Island? It's perfect—beaches, no work, just vibes."

Shin: "Ooh, that's good. I'm down for White Island."

Nelly: "Beach, huh..." His mind drifted for a moment, imagining Mira there with them, laughing and playing in the sun.

Ein: "Yo, Nelly's drooling! You thinking about Mira in a bikini, aren't ya?"

Ryan: "BONER CHECK!!"

Nelly: startled "Oi, wait, it wasn't like that! I was just—"

Dan: "Sure, sure, pal. We know where your head's at."

Amadeus: "Hey, at least his imagination is productive. Better than Ryan's random headbutt ideas."

Ryan: "Hey, don't drag me into this! But yeah, you know Mira in a bikini though..." He grinned, enjoying the chaos.

Nelly: "Okay, I'm done with this conversation."

Shin: "Let's stick to the plan. I'll message Ainslein and Sylvie, see if they want to join us. We need to make this trip epic."

Nelly: groans "I'm not walking into another one of your schemes, Shin."

Shin: "Oh, you will. You just won't know it until it's too late."

Ein: "Yeah, Nelly, just stop thinking about Mira in a bikini or something."

Nelly: facepalms "You guys are the worst."

The homies decided to meet at their favorite café, where they could chat freely and brainstorm ideas for their trip. As they arrived, the familiar smell of coffee and pastries filled the air, instantly putting them in a good mood.

Ryan: "Alright, let's get our drinks and sit down. We've got a trip to plan!"

They settled into their usual booth, excitement bubbling as they started throwing around ideas. Between sips of coffee and bites of pastries, the conversation flowed.
