[color=f5ad5f]"Not... not chasing,"[/color] a heavily breathing Aya told Fumiko, [color=f5ad5f]"following."[/color] Holy cow, that sprint brought her out of it. She hadn't expected the young girl to be a track and field legend at such a young age. Though, maybe it was the college life diet of instant ramen and plain rice that brought Aya down to the girls level. Maybe it was all of the cameras she had with her at one time. It was everything except for her own ability, she thought. Though, maybe her lack of any recent strenuous activity explained the sudden heart pain. When was the last time she exerted herself? High school gym class?

[color=f5ad5f]"An' she wasn't running from me, Morimori. Girl slammed into me at full speed, kept on hustling, an' I got a lil curious. So, you know, I followed her."[/color] It was a good thing she still had her bottle of still-cold water to cool herself down a bit. The condensate soaked her brow, but she really didn't mind this time around. All the running in the humid summer air already drenched her breezy t-shirt with sweat.

[color=f5ad5f]"It's uh... heat syncope. Get the legs an' help me move her somewhere cool. If she's sweatin', she'll come to and we give her some water. If she ain't and has a fever, then uh... 119. That's what Occupational Health and Safety: Outdoor Work Environments by Sasaki Shouta says, 'nyways."[/color] Aya didn't exactly have the heart to tell Fumiko that that book was self-published and wasn't verified by any health authorities. She went around to the girl's head and used her still unopened water bottle on her forehead in an effort to cool her down even a little.

[color=f5ad5f]"You're also an accomplice now."[/color]
