Ishida Shouya POV:
‘Why are you here? what’s going on?’, Nishimiya signed. I looked at her and signed I didn’t want to tell her what happened for fear of what she will think of me and knowing Nishimiya she will probably fault herself for it. My eyes roamed over her face, her eyes were wide in shock and she was clenching her fist, it was clear that she was scared. Nishimiya patted my arm, but suddenly the cop that was standing next to her said, ‘It will be advised if you do not make any hand to hand contact with the prisoner’. Her eyes went wide as if the reality of the situation dawned on and she couldn't bear the weight of it. “Nishimiya,” I said, “Its okay, everything will be fine”. She grasped the bar that was caging me in and stared into my eyes and signed ‘ I will take you out, don't worry.’ she turned around and seated herself with her mum and Yuzura on the bench next to jail cell. The police offer turned to Nishimiya as if he was about to speak to Nishmiya but Nishmiya’s mum waved her hand to the cop and said: “She can’t hear you”. Nishimiya suddenly stood up and started looking around the wooden table that the police officer was previously seated upon. What was Nishmiya looking for??Nishimiya Shouko POV:
My eyes roamed the table to look for a book and a pen. My eyes spotted a red notepad and a cup that contained pens. I grabbed them and took a pen from the pot and wrote ‘Please write in here if you want to communicate with me’. I looked at the cop and he was surprised, he grabbed my book and the pen and I saw him writing. He finished writing and about to hand it over to me but then I saw him turned to the side to face Ishida and he looked shocked but I turned to face Ishida and only looked at his mouth moving couldn’t quite understand what he was saying but mum came closer to talk to the cop. I couldn’t understand what they were talking about or if they were hiding something from me.Ishida Shouya POV:
I stared into the cop’s pearl grey eyes that were cushioned with a hint of crow’s feet. He was a middle-aged man, I realized, as I was trying to decipher what he was thinking. Just then he grabbed the book and a pen from Nishimiya’s hand, I saw him writing something, what was he is going to write, wait….. Is he going to tell Nishimiya the whole story? I didn’t want him to tell Nishimiya the whole story because it will be false and spoken in the guy's favor when in reality he was the culprit, and not to think, she would blame herself for me being jail. There were soo many thoughts running, filling my brain to the brim, I thought it was going to explode, but then I noticed the cop turning towards Nishimiya, ….. “Stop!!” I shouted then he turned to face me and he said: “What do you want?” I was about to say something but Nishimiya’s mum came closer to the cop and said “Please listen to me carefully, Ishida didn’t do anything, this is my fault, I slapped the guy” just then the cop said “ma’am, your verdict will also be taken into consideration but right now…’, just then I saw my mum walk in, her head moving around until she saw me, her eyes widened, She ran to me and said “Shou-chan what are you doing here”. I was about to tell her that I’m fine but I saw Nishimiya run out of the official station, where is she going, what just happened? “Big sis, where are you going?” I saw Yuzuru shout and ran after her. What is Nishimiya; planning to do, I mean she is not going to do anything right because she has no idea what is going on, ….right?Nishimiya Shouko POV:
Ishida’s mum came by and she looked worried, what is going on what is hiding from me. The cop was about to show me what he wrote on the book and then I could see my mum shouting and I could see her hand moving which gave me a sign that she was trying to explain something to the cop. She was shaking her head numerous times and her hand kept going to her forehead. I was shocked and confused, what was happening, I realized the only way I could get my answers was to go back to the supermarket. I quickly ran off, I could feel my feet pounding against the pavement, the heat, squeezing sweat out of my body like a sponge, but I didn't let that falter my steps. Out of nowhere, I felt something tap my shoulder, I jumped, I thought it was a bird, but when I turned around I saw yuzuru. I saw her signed ‘Where are you running off to?’ I signed and said ‘There is something I need to check, please don’t stop me’ Yuzuru ‘Ok tell me where are you going?’ I signed ‘Thank you, follow me’. The only thought in my mind was Ishida please don't get hurt’. As we arrived at the supermarket Yuzuru signed to me ‘Why are we here?’ I signed ‘Since you guys don't tell me everything I want to find out on my own’ I smiled at Yuzuru and went into the supermarket.
