Walking back to the tour bus was a blur. Taka didn't even notice that he's not that drenched as opposed to earlier. It was upon stepping into the bus that he's registered the lack of rain water in his clothes and hair.
"There he is!"
"No booze!"
Toru and Ryota exclaim upon seeing him and Taka smiles at them sheepishly. He sees Tomoya barely awake between them and pats him on the head. The drummer jumps and stares at him.
"Where'd you...?" Tomoya mumbles, rubbing his eyes.
"At a bar. Hey, guys. I'm, uh, going to sleep now. Sorry about earlier. G'night!" Taka tells them with a wave and rushes to his bunk bed.
Tomoya decides that it's time for him to go back to sleep too, since Toru and Ryota dragged him from his bunk to wait up for Taka. The two claiming that Taka's gone weird. He dismisses their thoughts and heads to his bunk. He hears Ryota and Toru's furious whispers but he couldn't make them out.
"I think it's a personal matter." Toru whispers to Ryota.
"We should help him." Ryota whispers back.
"Yes, I think that too."
"Then why are you holding me back?" Ryota raises a brow.
"We should investigate first." Toru answers placatingly, still whispering. "Stalk him, maybe."
"Oh."
"See what we're dealing with."
"Okay."
"Why are we whispering?" Toru asks voice still hushed.
"You started whispering. I just followed!" Ryota replies, throwing his hands frustratingly.
The two of them woke up the next day to Taka disappearing yet again.
