[color=ffdd99]"Ah, thank you, Tomoe. I didn't realize..."[/color] When Tomoe started showing pictures of the cat-herding competition to Acion, the facial expressions of both alarmed Hitomi, and she practically grabbed Tomoe's phone and turned it towards her so that she the picture. She was shocked. [color=ffdd99]"Tomoe!"[/color] she exclaimed. [color=ffdd99]"Delete that picture right now!"[/color] When Acion slapped himself in the face, Tomoe turned back towards him. Wait...did he...? Was he? That thought was embarrassing not no more embarrassing than the past minute had been. However, she didn't hate it. She didn't hate thinking about the possibility that she could garner the same reaction from Acion that she has herself felt that time Acion landed on her balcony in a tight t-shirt. It made her wonder if perhaps she had a chance. Acion then went into detail about what he'd been doing. Or at least was going to, but didn't. His tone was also noticeably more somber thinking about the past events. [color=ffdd99]"If it's important, I want to hear it, but if we should be discreet, maybe we should all head back indoors. Are you and your sister okay, though?"[/color] [@liferusher][@Conscripts] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/AkrlPlR.png[/img] [h3][color=844E7A]Mako Akane[/color][/h3][/center] [color=844E7A]"Tell Kaida I was here and wish her well,"[/color] Mako replied, getting up, before slipping a diary from her jacket pocket and looking into it for a few seconds, before chuckling. [color=844E7A]"Look at me, pretending I ever have plans...I'm free this Friday. Just name the place and time and I'l be there! Here's a card for Komei Academy's reception line. Nobody will ever answer that phone but me."[/color] She placed the card on the table as she turned and left the hospital. During the drive back, she couldn't help thinking about many things. Jean was only one of them. This attack on Komei pupils. Dulga's desire for revenge. Donny's lack of regard for his safety and of those around him. Amane. This year was quickly growing into the most chaotic year of school she'd ever faced, and it was almost enough for her to stop enjoying it. Almost. [@Heartfillia]
