Haruka's mansion is one train station away from hers, its getting late but she could still catch up to the last train trip, she thought. She came about just in time-5minutes before the last train arrives. She sat on the waiting area while still catching her breath. Because she doesn't usually take the train at this hour, she did not expect a lot of people to be in such a hurry to catch the last trip.
Because a lot of people were coming out and she struggled to get in, little did she see that Otani got out from the same door.
'Huh? O-Otani?'
She struggled to look back but the people behind are pushing her and blocks her view.
'Is that Otani?' Risa is not sure either. 'Idiot. I may just be hallucinating from thinking about him. But even for a while, seeing him would make me happy.' Risa frowned and stared at nowhere.
She was supposed to alight at the next station but she was consumed by her thoughts, she did not realize she's got past the station already.
"Waaa! I forgot to get out at the next station!"
'What should I do? It's late already' Risa felt nervous, she's not familiar with the place and it's dark already.
"Ah excuse me sir, is there still a last trip to Osaka?"
"No, the last trip has already left. You will have to wait until 5am tomorrow to catch the first trip."
"Whatttt!" Risa has never felt scared like this before. Her heart trembles fast and she can't help shaking. She's breaking a cold sweat and soon enough she can't help but cry. She sat on the waiting area not knowing what to do. She can't think clearly and just sob.
'Somebody, help me' Her eyes were clouded by tears.

"Koizumi?"
'Huh?' She frozed for a moment, she knew that voice.
She looked up and saw Otani surprised to see her as well.
"O-Otani."
"Koizumi, what are you doing here?"
"Koizumi, why are you crying."
"O-Otani...I'm scared." Her emotions were full of fear a while ago and cannot shrug off the feeling. But she's also relieved that Otani is here. Just like that Christmas, when she's in trouble. he always come to her rescue.
"I.. I was supposed to go to Haruka but somehow I forgot to get off and I ended up here."
"You're an idiot. What is a girl doing outside this late alone and what are you going to Haruka for anyway?"
"How about you? Why are you here?"
"Well, ahhh, I fell asleep."
"But..but I think I saw you out of the train.."
"Ahh, that, someone shoved me out but good thing I managed to get in."
"Ahh, I see, hehe." Risa giggles.
"What's that, are you making fun of me?! But that's good, you seem to be okay now."
"Otani, arigatou!"
"Um.." Otani turned his back, he doesn't want her to see him blushing
"Me too. I'm relieved that you are here." He spoke softly.
"What is it?"
"Nothing, are you not hungry? Let's go for dinner and grab some snacks."
"Hai!"
