Saving Natsuki
Envy
EXT. NATSUKI'S HOUSE - NIGHT

MIKIO NARRATES THE ACTIONS MADE AND SEEN

*It's the dead of night. I followed Natsuki's dad's car to their house via bike and I am now climbing up to a window, hopping it's either Natsuki's window or the bathroom window with no one in it, of course. The plan is very simple. Sneak in with rope, sneak out with Natsuki. Everything seems to be going to plan so far.*

INT. NATSUKI'S HOUSE - NATSUKI'S ROOM - NIGHT

*Once I reach the window, I look through it to see Natsuki crying. I knock on the window to get her attention. Natsuki quickly turns around and sees me waiting patiently for Natsuki to open her window. She wipes her tears and quietly opens the window.*

Natsuki:
(whisper)
M-Makoto...? What are you doing here!?

Mikio:
(whisper)
I'm getting you out of here.

Natsuki:
(whisper)
What? Why?

Mikio:
(whisper)
Because your dad is a piece of trash! Come on!

*I forcefully grab Natsuki's hand only for her to struggle free.*

Natsuki:
I-...I... I can't.

Mikio:
(whisper)
Natsuki, aren't you tired of you dad bringing you down? This is your chance to get away from that ape!

Natsuki:

???:
Natsuki?

*Natsuki and I turn to the door where the voice came from. Natsuki looks in horror as I look in disgust at NATSUKI'S DAD, the rat of a father to Natsuki.*

Natsuki's Dad:
How did this boy get in your room... WITHOUT my consent?

*I felt the same rush of energy from the afternoon with Yuri.*

Natsuki:
(scared)
D-D-Dad! I-It's not what it looks like-

Mikio:
(angry)
How about you tell me why you treat your own flesh and blood like crap, you big, tar filled bucket o-

*suddenly, Natsuki's dad grabs my head with one hand and throws me down the stairs. I felt a little dizzy, but I can hear the two talking upstairs.*

INT. NATSUKI'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Natsuki (V.O):
MAKOTO!

Natsuki's Dad:
I'm dealing with your scrawny boyfriend when I get to him. Now I'm about to have you head for dinner!

Natsuki:
NO!

*I felt intense rage and determination swell up in me. I struggle to get up onto my feet, so I lean on the dresser near me.*

Mikio:
(Angry; struggling)
Ge-... get down here and fight me... FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN, YOU COWARD!

*I can see Natsuki's Dad's shadow stopping dead in its tracks, signifying he stopped as well. A long silence made me ask why I just said that.*
