The waitress placed another drink before Rei. Minako's eyebrow twitched. Across the bar, a well-dressed man waved.
"So embarrassing," Minako said.
"Oh?" Rei rearranged her empty glasses into deliberate, easily-countable rows.
"Shameful."
"This was your idea!"
"A stupid idea. You're supposed to stop those, so your fault."
Recriminations filled Rei's lungs but Minako hauled her to the door. "Whatever, the karaoke bar across town is WAY better. Most applause wins!"
"THAT is a stupid idea."
"If it were stupid, you'd stop me. You're not stopping me so TOTALLY BRILLIANT," Minako concluded, throwing her arm around Rei and hailing a taxi.
