Kōki wakes up to the sound of knocking at her bedroom door. She groans and flips over, only to fall- rather ungracefully- down to the floor. She hisses and flops into a sitting position, rolling her throbbing shoulder as she got to her feet and walked towards the door.

"It's seven in the morning and it's a fucking holiday, what is—" Kōki stops her rant as she yanks the door open, and her father's face stares back at her. She blinks, and backs away. "Pops." She stated with a nod.

"Kōki." Dad nodded back, and Kōki frowned at his solemn tone, he is frazzled, Kōki realised as she looked at him, her father is currently a lot of things. Angry, frazzled, anxious, annoyed and... Worried? Kōki wrinkled her nose, "I just received news from Akemi's teacher and the police."

Kōki's heart sinks. No.

"Last night," her dad paused, "The summer camp that Akemi went to was ambushed by a group of villains, multiple students were injured, and..."

"Is she alright?" Kōki interrupts, and dad blinks at her. Kōki had always been the good daughter, she never interrupts him when he talks, she was quiet at home and listed to his demands. "Sis. Is sis alright?" Her tone was urgent and fearful. She can't not be alright. She promised.

Her father takes a deep breath.

"I'm sorry."

Kōki can— quite literally sometimes, read people like a book. And Kimura Geikyō always lies. But this moment, as she looks at her father, nothing makes sense.

Because he isn't lying. Kōki's hand reaches up to grab onto the front of her t-shirt, but instead she grips at the red sea glass Akemi left her with. She squeezes it so hard her palm hurts, and slides to the floor.

Akemi isn't okay, her father isn't lying, and nothing makes sense any more.
