"Dear...This young man says that he needs to talk to you."

Star pauses as she sees Rindou standing in the kitchen with her grandmother.

"He says that he is a really good friend of yours."

What are you doing here Rindou?....

Is what she wanted to say but nothing came out.

Instead she turns her gaze away and says nothing.

While Rindou keeps his gaze on her as he waits for her to speak.

But she says nothing.

This goes on for a while before Star's grandmother speaks up.

"I guess I'll leave you two to talk, I'll be in the den if you need me."

Rindou turns his gaze as Star's grandmother exists the room before he turns his attention back to Star.

She still keeps her gaze away so Rindou decides that he should be the one to speak first.

Rindou- "How have you been?"

Star blinks a few times and sighs before she answers.

Star- "Rindou.."

She finally says.

Star- "Why are you here??"

He sighs.

Rindou- "We noticed that you are purposely ignoring us so Ran wanted to know what's up."

Star- "Ran wanted to know?"

Rindou rolls his eyes.

Star- "So why are you here instead of him?"

As if right on cue..

"Oh my, these paintings on the wall are just magnificent, can you tell me the stories behind these?" 🤍

"Oh! I'm so happy you asked, but you might want to sit down, it is a long tale after all."

Star mentally facepalms at the voices she hears in the other room.

Rindou- "Ran and I go everywhere together."

Star nods.

Star- "Yeah...I can see that.."

Star takes a moment to compose herself before she starts walking to the front door.

Rindou- "Where are you going?"

Star- "You guys need to leave.."

Rindou- "Star.."

He stops her as she reaches the living room.
