(Natsumi's POV)
The woman led us to a heavily humidified room. If the stupid frog was with me instead of Giroro, he would be bouncing off the walls. I supposed that this was to make me show my true form, if I was a Keronian.
At first, we just sat there in awkward silence, but then Giroro, in a voice so soft that I had to hold my breath to hear him, whispered, "I'm sorry."
I placed my hands on his chin, making him look up at me. He blushed slightly at this (I have no idea why), and I said, "Giroro, this isn't your fault! Why would you think that? What did you do?"
He didn't say anything. Then, in a voice as soft as before, he whispered, "I came here."
I drew back in stunned silence. I knew why he thought he was at fault, but I didn't know what to say.
Before I could control myself, I leaned forward and gently touched my lips with his cheek. He glowed bright red now.
I whispered in his ear, "You're wrong."
(Later)
(Normal POV)
The intern said to her boss, "How much longer should they stay there?"
"That Hinata Natsumi has been in that room for over 12 hours. She's obviously just a girl. Take them out."
Later, that day, Natsumi arrived at home to check the messages. She deleted each message in disgust.
"Hello, this is the director of Ripley's Believe it or Not-"
Delete.
"Hello. Those of us at ABC would like to interview you-"
Delete.
"Hi, Hinatas. It's Desk."
Natsumi's finger hovered over the Delete button.
"I'm sorry to have had to turn your frogs in. It's just...everyone was thinking I was crazy. They were going to take me away. I'm sorry."
The message ended.
Natsumi, enraged, screamed at no one in particular, "DESK! I WILL KILL YOU!"
Then, with the initial rage gone, she fell to her knees and wept until she fell asleep on the floor.
She woke up, stunned, in her bed.
