Chapter Two: Checking In
Azusa's Residence: Outside
20 Minutes Later
"Bang, bang, bang!" Yui frantically pounds on the door. She pounds harder because the deafening rain is drowning out any and all sounds in the vicinity.
The streets are empty and drenched in puddles of mud and water. With nobody in sight, Yui sighs and pulls at the door handle, but alas, the door won't open.
"Azu-nyan!" Yui screams and grabs a huge rock. She stares at the side-window with all lights turned off. The young woman is ready to smash the window open when a scream stops her-
"-Yui!" three women yell collectively from behind. Yui pants and drops the rock; she turns around and locates the source: Ui, Ritsu, and Mio. Yui trembles and succumbs to her knees.
She doesn't mind getting her skirt and leggings wet from sitting down, but she didn't care as the anxiety overtook her. The other ladies rub her back and appear just as nervous. The wind blows harder and the sky erupts in thunder, crying just as hard as Yui.
"Ahhh!" Azu-nyan screams from inside, causing all the women outside to jump up. Their hearts drop and they're frozen from shock.
"Azusa!" Mio shoves Yui from the door and tries to break it open with Ritsu, but it fails. Ui grabs the rock and shoves it into the window, smashing it into mere pieces. The power returns.
"Someone...help" Azusa groans from inside. None of the ladies care about the sharp edges of the broken glass frame; all that mattered was their groaning friend. They squeeze through the smashed window, somehow not cutting themselves by some miracle.
Azusa's Residence: Indoors
Right After
Azu-Nyan lies injured on the kitchen tiles. She's surrounded by glass tiles that seem dipped in a salsa dressing of blood. A shattered Mutan lies near the woman's equally-shattered thumb. Her eyes are tightly shut in a useless attempt to reduce the flowing of her reddened tears.
The four other women and Ui run into the kitchen, but pause in their tracks as they stare at the grotesque body of their classmate/kouhai.
Yui feels uneasy and grabs the young girl's unbroken arm; Azusa swats her away.
"Stay away from me!" the 16-year-old shrieks and pants; her eyes remain shut.
Yui falls back on her ass. She speaks softly: "Azu-nyan, it's me!"
Azusa breathes loudly and clutches her blue-colored, shattered-thumb: "Yui-senpai...my boyfriend...he...please call an ambulance"
Police Station
4 A.M
The four other band ladies stand outside the police officer's room. For now, it's just Mr. and Mrs. Nakano inside the police officer's room.
Ui returns with a quivering hand and a coffee can in her hand; she takes a sip and offers the cup to the other ladies in the room. All of them shake their heads and rub their eyes. Yui bites her lips ferociously.
Mr. Nakano exits the officer's room with dried tears and a low-hanging head; the ladies stand up from the couch as soon as he faces them.
He scratches his head: "The police have footage that confirms he wasn't there; someone else attacked Azusa"
