A/N: This chapter is written in Mikado's POV, just so you know. The POV of the fanfiction will be constantly changing, as to get different views on the same events, but I hope it won't be too confusing...

-Kuro

"...You're going back here...? When?"

I sound as excited as a little kid. Actually, I'm sure I really sounded this way before. Kida's chuckle justifies the case.

...But there's just something wrong about it.

"I'm actually on the train right now."

"...What?"

Okay. Calm down, Mikado. You should be surprised that he didn't call to say: "Oh hey, I'm in front of your house right now. And I brought some porn~"

"Wait. No, he has a girlfriend, so... "

I ponder over the situation while I respond to Kida without thinking. I'm just hoping he doesn't take advantage of the situation.

"...Just pick me up at the station, okay?"

"Alright."

"Tell me everything that's happened while I was gone."

"...What about your girlfriend?"

"...She...wanted to stay in Inaba."

There's an unsure pause in his answer. This isn't good.

Maybe they broke up or something. That's probably why he wanted to come here right away. I'm starting to feel sad for Kida, since this was probably his first actual relationship.

"Oh, okay. Sorry..."

"...I'll just...tell you more about it when I get there, okay? I'll be crashing at your place, so prepare a futon for me."

Click.

He hung up on me right away.

I have this gut feeling that it may have been something worse than just a break-up. Maybe she was cheating on him...? I shake these thoughts away.

"No. These are private matters."

There was a spare futon in a closet I used for storage. It smelled pretty dusty, but I'm sure Kida wouldn't mind.

"...I should get some groceries."

Okay. Um, Living alone means not being able to talk to anyone, and not getting any calls from my friends just worsened everything...so I've formed this funny habit of talking to myself.

I would argue and scold myself from time to time, and read my messages out loud in chatrooms before I sent them. But there's a good reason for the latter, really. I don't like typo errors.

"One good example would be..."

I boot my computer and open up a .txt file hidden deep within my hard drive that I filled with my many internet blunders. Don't ask why, but I saved these to remind myself to double- no. Triple-check.

Let's hope Kida doesn't find this file.

"Ngh."

I cringe as I glance at my latest error. It's probably what made Anri stop texting me for a few days.

Sonohara_Anri: I didn't know you had a Yoho account. ( o n o )

Ryugamine_Mikado: Hi Sonohara-san !

Ryugamine_Mikado: How's your summer going? ( o u o )

Sonohara_Anri: Fine. It's pretty boring, since I don't know what else to do but surf the internet.

Ryugamine_Mikado: I see...

Ryugamine_Mikado: Do you want to bang at my place, then?

Sonohara_Anri: ...

Ryugamine_Mikado: Ah, I meant "hang"! IT was a

Ryugamine_Mikado: ...Typo error.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but anyway...Can you see the Atlus reference?~

That aside, the porn thing was an in-joke between me and a friend. I might write about it, when I actually get the skills.

The next chapter is going to be from the Protagonist's POV. I think I won't be referring to him by name, as people make a big deal out of it (Seta Souji, Yu Narukami...etc)
