Yō's POV:

Chika and Riko were having an intense stare off. I watched them from the side with a bit of worry. I don't think Chika is very happy with what Riko told me. I can understand why. Riko lied to her. Riko did kinda play her.

Chika started to yell at Riko. Riko seemed to be trying to respond calmly. It wasn't going well for her with that attempt. I wish I knew what they were saying. Maybe I could stop it if I could understand them.

Chika started crying as she kept yelling at Riko. She must be really hurt. I stepped in between them. I don't know what the outcome of their argument will be, but I don't want to risk a fight between them.

Chika ignored me and kept yelling. The tears were constantly falling down her face. She's really upset. Then she just ran off.

I looked at Riko, "What was that all about?"

"She's really mad. She knows the truth now." Riko replied.

"I'm going to find her." I signed, "I suggest you stay away from her for a bit."

Riko nodded. I turned around and went in the direction Chika had run off in. This is going to be an interesting search. I can't call her name and even if I could, I wouldn't be able to hear her reply. I have to rely on my vision to do this.

I searched around the school. I wasn't having much luck. Once again, even if I got close, I'd have no clue. She's probably still crying, but I can't hear her. This is harder than I thought it would be.

I left the school. Maybe she ran home? Apparently she didn't. She just ran outside. Chika was curled up by a tree. There was a tan-haired girl beside her. It looked like she was trying to comfort her. I don't know if I should interrupt them.

I slowly made my way to where they were. They looked up as I approached. I guess the ground is making noise when I step on it.

I walked over to them and sat in front of Chika. Chika looked at me with empty eyes. They were all red and puffy and tears were still falling out of them. I frowned and held out my arms.

Chika just looked at me for a while. Maybe she doesn't want me to comfort her? I was about to put my arms down when Chika finally accepted my offer. She hugged me tightly and I could feel her sobbing against my shirt.

I patted her back. The girl that had been comforting her before stared at us. She probably has no clue who I am. And with Chika taking up my arms, I can't even introduce myself to her.

After a few minutes, Chika pulled away from me. She looked up at me. I reached out and brushed away the tears at the edges of her eyes.

"Why did she do that to me?" Chika asked.

"Because she cares about you. She didn't want you getting hurt by someone." I did my best to explain it in simple terms.

"She doesn't love me?" Chika frowned.

"She loves you. Just, as a friend." I replied.

"But I don't. I love her more than that." Chika complained as tears started forming in her eyes again.
