"Thanks for taking the time to see me…," Izzy sat down at a kotasu.
"What's a meeting between two ex-lovers?" a redheaded girl brushed her wispy bangs to the side.
"Rika…," Izzy sighed.
"Yes?" the girl shuffled some cards back and forth through her hands.
"I really appreciate this, but let's not make it more weird than it has to be," Izzy said.
"It's only as weird as you let it be. I forget how uptight you are," Rika smirked, as she continued to shuffle her cards.
"That's rich coming from the ice queen," Izzy blurted out.
"That's why I have one of these bad boys. At least I can count on it to keep me warm…," Rika split her deck of cards in half and tapped them on the table.
"I'm sorry. That was stupid," Izzy said.
"Wow. You actually apologized. I'm shocked," Rika shot him a look with her piercing lavender eyes.
"I mean it. I'm sorry for whatever I did to hurt you or piss you off," Izzy said.
"Wait, so you're apologizing and you don't even know what you did wrong? Priceless," Rika smirked.
"I'm sorry! I'm not perfect-"
"Like hell you are," Rika snorted.
"But I wanted to make things right somehow. I guess I'm not always easy to deal with," Izzy said.
"Again, like hell you were. But news flash, I'm not any better. At the end of the day, I couldn't be too mad at you. We're too similar. We're impatient, sarcastic, we get too wrapped up in our own universes, and let's face it, we're not exactly the most affectionate or nicest people out there. You think we'd be a great match with each other, but I think we were our worst nightmare," Rika said.
"Maybe there's only room for one jerk in the relationship," Izzy scoffed.
"No, you dingus. If you want someone who can stand to be around you for more than a RickRoll video, you gotta stop being an asshole," Rika smirked.
"RickRoll…I'm taking you know about her," Izzy winced.
"It's everywhere. You never mentioned her," Rika shuffled her cards and placed them to the side.
"Because I haven't thought about her in ages. I only ran into her this weekend," Izzy said.
"Oh really? Because all the sources, including you, have said that you've been seeing each other for months," Rika raised an eyebrow.
"It was this stupid lie. I literally got into the same town car as her, and she begged me to play along. I had no idea what was going on with her life until a couple of days ago. In fact, I still don't know much about her life except that she uploads cooking tutorials on a kids app, and according to a coworker, she used to date the embodiment of a Monster energy drink," Izzy said.
"That is quite the understatement of the century. You need to get out from under that rock of yours and download RickRoll. It's more than just teenagers pulling pranks at the mall and dancing to hip hop songs. I learned how to read tarot cards- it's a huge blast at parties. You want me to read your cards? I got a new deck with kawaii kittens on them," Rika picked up a card.
"Uh…maybe another time?" Izzy winced.
"Okay, but I'm holding you to it," Rika smirked. "So what are you gonna do with this Mimi chick?" Rika started laying cards on the table.
"I dunno. I seemed to have pissed her off, but I don't know what I did to piss her off. She showed up to my job with some cookies- I didn't ask her to come, by the way!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Classic. Did you give her those vibes? I bet you did. Always pushing people away," Rika smirked.
"I do not!" Izzy protested.
"Oh really? You have a girl who actually wants to be closer to you, but you must have done or said something to upset her. Now, try to remember exactly what happened," Rika snapped her fingers.
"Well, I did tell her I wanted to take things slowly since it's been a while since we've seen each other. I didn't think she would actually agree with it, but she comes to my job, saying that we could take things at my pace. But then I asked her if things would have played out the same if another of our friends took the same town car, and it wasn't me," Izzy winced.
"Now why the hell would you say that?" Rika pounded the table.
"I don't know…it was stupid," Izzy turned red.
"Has she ever given any indication that she'd hook up with any of your other friends?" Rika raised an eyebrow.
"I mean…I don't know?" Izzy shrugged.
"You shouldn't have accused her of doing something that wouldn't even happen in the first place. Matter of fact, it was you that was there with her- don't worry about what could happen in an alternate universe, okay?" Rika swept the cards up from the tabletop and shuffled them again.
"So what do I do now? She seems really pissed at me," Izzy bit his lip.
"You're a tough cookie, I'd say give her some time to cool off. Maybe by the time you're ready to talk again, you'll have a good apology set," Rika smirked.
"Okay," Izzy sighed.
"Shoot, I was gonna sneak in a tarot reading but I'd be late. I'm meeting up with a special friend," Rika glanced at her phone.
"A special friend?" Izzy raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Seems like you and I have way too much in common. Turns out I'm meeting up with an old friend I've known since junior high. A brunette who likes to bake and wear his heart on his sleeve. We just got re-acquainted over the weekend," Rika pressed her lips together.
"Huh, isn't that odd," Izzy paused.
"Well, he's a sensitive soul, so you got any advice for me?" Rika asked.
"Apparently, do the opposite of what I do," Izzy shrugged.
"Woooow, thanks genius," Rika rolled her eyes.
"It's been so long since we've hung out. A really long time," Sora poked at her salad with a fork.
"I know! I've been pretty busy lately," Mimi gathered her hair up and put it in a ponytail.
"Yes, I've heard. Congrats, by the way. I was hoping to see the day-"
"Why does everyone keep saying that?" Mimi huffed.
"Come on, it's no secret. If my suspicions are correct, you guys probably already had a thing and didn't tell us," Sora tilted her head.
"Oh, what makes you say that?" Mimi scoffed.
"You guys were always touchy-feely, and that's something considering the fact that Izzy hates human touch. Oh, or you stopping by his office to drop off 'snacks'. Or your study sessions- Izzy's smart, but not smart enough to understand underlying themes of Shakespeare. And your math grades didn't get any better," Sora haughtily smiled.
"We were not that obvious," Mimi pressed her lips together.
"Even your parents knew. Remember, they wouldn't let you guys study in your room anymore?" Sora said.
"I thought it was because my grades were bad," Mimi pouted.
"Sure," Sora absentmindedly stirred her straw in her Diet Coke.
"It doesn't matter anymore. He pissed me off and I keep getting all of these DMs asking me about him, but I don't know what to do," Mimi broke off a piece of a cookie.
"Do you answer all of your DMs?" Sora raised an eyebrow.
"Well no, but isn't it gonna get suspicious if I don't answer some of them? I've never been in a 'scandal' before," Mimi shrugged.
"I would probably wait for this to die down. Someone else will probably do something scandalous eventually, and they'll have to climb off your back soon," Sora said.
"Yeah, but why isn't anyone doing anything yet? Ughhh," Mimi groaned.
"Just give it some time. Hey, I think I know how to take your mind off of things! I have a client who's helping cater an event, but the order is larger than expected. Nice guy but he needs extra help. Maybe if you're not too busy, you could give him a helping hand?" Sora grinned.
"Sure, I could use the distraction," Mimi shrugged.
"Okay, great! I'll give you his contact info. The event is this weekend, so he's really in a bind," Sora pulled out her phone.
"That's perfect," Mimi sighed, as she crushed up whatever was left of her cookie into crumbs.
"I can't believe it, Izumi. You're finally stepping out into modern civilization!" Mikey smirked.
"Thanks again for helping me set up this RickRoll stuff, guys," Izzy said.
"Glad to help. So I'm just gonna run down a list of topics and let me know if you're interested in them. Makeup?" Nene tapped on Izzy's phone.
"No!" Izzy said.
"Fashion?" Nene asked.
"No," Izzy said.
"I think you should follow it…," Nene looked Izzy up and down. "How about cars?"
"I don't have a car," Izzy said.
"Fine. Food- yes, you have to follow that topic," Nene said. "And celebrity gossip, you need to get in touch with current events."
"Okay, can I have my phone back?" Izzy snapped.
"Alright! Just pick some topics that you find interesting, and the algorithm will come up with a feed that will align with what you're interested in. The longer you stay on the app, the more the app knows about you and what you'd like," Nene said.
"That sounds a bit unsettling, like an episode of Black Mirror," Izzy winced.
"Oh, and let me get you started on your privacy settings. You're gonna be a celebrity soon, so we might want to keep your info safe. And let's start following people…starting off with your girlfriend," Nene smiled.
"Oh, he has to follow us too!" Mikey said.
"Of course, what do you take me for?" Nene swatted Mikey away.
"Thanks for setting me up. So how do you work this thing?" Izzy held his phone.
"Press the home button on the bottom corner- that's how you get your feed. If you swipe to the side, that's how you get your feed specifically from your friends and people you follow, but if you swipe the other side, you'll get more of a discover feed, and that's how the algorithm kicks in. You can like a video by touching that heart on the side, and you can save them by pressing the third icon below," Nene said.
"What about that speech bubble?" Izzy said.
"That's all the comments, but I suggest you avoid them in general. You're too new to this app- also, you're in the public eye now, best you don't accidentally comment something that could be taken the wrong way," Nene said.
"Okay. This is a lot to take in. So, let's say I want to look up something, how do I do that?" Izzy said.
"Easy. Just click the button on the top corner," Mikey said.
"This one?" Izzy said.
"Wigs for sale! Buy 1 get 4 more, whatever is on the wall!"
"What the hell?" Izzy gasped.
"Ugh, that's the 'live' feed. You'll find some weird stuff, but the cool thing is that everything takes place in real time and there's no time limit. It can get kinda scary," Nene shook her head.
"How do I get rid of this? There's wigs on a wall," Izzy grimaced.
"Just press the x on the top corner, and in the same top corner, that's where you find the magnifying glass. Click that and you can search up almost anything!" Nene said.
"Oooh, have them look up The Real Housewives of Sylvania," Mikey said,
"That's good, here!" Nene typed on Izzy's phone.
"I don't get it…why are Calico Critters acting out weird scenarios?" Izzy squinted his eyes.
"Just give it some time, you'll get it soon," Nene said.
"Hey! We should do a live!" Mikey said.
"Great idea. Hold on," Nene pulled out a compact. "Okay, let's go!"
"Wait, what?" Izzy said.
"Hey party people, it's Mikey here and I'm just having a small happy hour with some of my closest friends Nene and Izzy!" Mikey held up his phone.
"Hey, it's Nene. Follow me at Feneneko_09," Nene flashed a peace sign.
"And I'm Izzy, I don't do social media…," Izzy said.
"Not yet, but we'll help him get started!" Nene said.
"Hey, looks like we got some new friends. Hi everyone!" Mikey said. "Aww, thanks for sending hearts! Hey, yeah, we all work together…absolutely!"
"Hey, what's going on?" Izzy paused.
"Hi everyone, Nene checking in! So our pal Izzy is still new to social media, so he'll need some time to adjust to things. Uh huh, he's never had a social media before this…so Izzy, when we go live, people can watch us in real time and they can send us questions or comments! Sometimes if they want, they can send little 'gifts'. But look, there's a question for you," Nene pointed at Mikey's phone screen.
"Where?" Izzy asked.
"Looks like we missed it! Hey, would you guys mind resending it?" Nene said.
"They asked how are things going on between you and Mimi," Mikey mischievously said.
"Oh, she dropped off some cookies and they were delicious! If we see her again, we'll have to thank her in person," Nene said.
"Yes, he was the special delivery in his video," Mikey smiled.
"Huh…anyways, we're gonna enjoy the rest of our night, but you guys have a good night! Let's wrap it up, Mikey!" Nene whirled her finger in the air.
"Yeah! We're expecting some chicken wings, talk to you later!" Mikey put his phone away.
"What happened?" Izzy asked.
"The live got a little too chaotic, I think maybe it was best we should shut it down. Who wants a refill on their beer?" Nene shook an empty mug.
"Don't have to ask me!" Mikey raised his glass.
"I'll grab this round," Nene said and got up from her stool.
"Mikey, what happened back there?" Izzy said.
"Have you heard of cyber bullying?" Mikey nervously laughed.
"What?!" Izzy gasped.
"Yeah…I don't think we thought this through. Sorry?" Mikey nervously laughed.
"What do you mean sorry?" Izzy gasped.
"I'm back…and I figured you told him," Nene paused.
"I didn't tell him everything," Mikey gasped.
"Can someone tell me what's going on?" Izzy snapped.
"Basically people hopped onto our live to say that you're too uncharismatic for Mimi, I'm a 'boyfriend' stealer, and Mikey is a clout-chaser. It's whatever, stupid kids," Nene rolled her eyes.
"Why would they do that? We didn't do anything!" Izzy gasped.
"They're probably Isabella Venti and Saylor Rift fans," Nene rolled her eyes.
"Uh…Mimi just came out with another video five minutes before we did," Mikey winced.
"Hey everyone, it's been a crazy couple of days, so I think one of my favourite things to do to take my mind off of things is to help out another friend. So I stopped by at fellow friend, Takato Matsuki's bakery in Shibuya, and we'll be working on an intense project that will take us several nights and days! I'll sprinkle some updates here and there, but wish us luck! We've got a big task on our hands!"
"Okay, so what?" Izzy said.
"Don't you get it? People are already reading between the lines, they think something happened between the two of you," Mikey said.
"That's absurd! How would they deduce that from that barely 15-second blurb?" Izzy gasped.
*buzz buzz buzz*
"I'll get that later," Izzy glanced at his phone and shook his head.
"Nah, it's okay. I'm gonna check on our food," Mikey said.
"Take the call," Nene pulled out her phone.
"Tai?" Izzy held the phone to his ear.
"Duuuude, what happened between you and Mimi?" Tai asked.
"What? What made you think something happened between us?" Izzy gasped.
"Uh, did you see her latest video?" Tai said in a mocking tone.
"Told you," Nene whispered.
"Nothing happened!" Izzy huffed.
"If that's the case, how are you gonna set the record straight? Because the whole world thinks you're a two-timing bastard right now…," Tai hummed.
"Tai, you know that's not true, right?" Izzy huffed.
"I know that, but does everyone else?" Tai asked.
"I don't care what everyone else thinks," Izzy said.
"Maybe you should care a little…this is the whole world we're talking about," Tai said.
"Maybe you should care a little…this is the whole world we're talking about," Mimi twirled the pendant on her necklace.
"The whole world? Come on, Mimi! Don't you think that's a bit overdramatic?" Izzy slammed his hands on the bureau.
"Well, what do I say to Brian? He promposed to me," Mimi bit her lip.
"Are you kidding? You tell him you can't accept because you already have a boyfriend," Izzy looked at her incredulously.
"But he doesn't know that!" Mimi groaned.
"Yeah, and whose fault is that?" Izzy exclaimed.
"No no no no no, you wanted this too! You didn't want to make things 'weird' between the group, remember?" Mimi crossed her arms.
"Mimi, I only said that because you clearly were uncomfortable with the idea with the two of us going public. I didn't care how you wanted to go about things, I was just happy that I got to be with you…but I think I'm starting to change my mind. Whatever, go to the dance with that Brian guy, since you care more about what he thinks than you do about me," Izzy scooped up some folders and stuffed them in his satchel.
"Izzy, that's not fair! Now you're being dramatic," Mimi huffed.
"I don't think so. I'm done. I don't care anymore. Go do what you want, but don't feel obligated to involve me in your nonsense. I don't want to feel like some dirty little secret," Izzy stormed out of the classroom.
"Ugh, you're so annoying!" Mimi kicked a trash can and punched the table.
"Maybe you should care a little…this is the whole world we're talking about," Tai said.
"He's got a point," Nene shrugged.
"Nene, how are you-" Izzy paused.
"What? Your friend is loud," Nene shrugged again.
"Listen, the last time I cared about other people's opinions, it only screwed me over. I'm not trying to make a retcon of my life here," Izzy shook his head.
"I don't know. If you ask me, it seems like the universe is trying to tell you something," Tai sucked his teeth.
"And what would that be? Fake my own death and move to another continent?" Izzy retorted.
"Hey, I know someone who could help us out. But you'd have to keep an open mind," Nene smiled.
"What?" Izzy gasped.
"Yeah, if they're not too busy, we can stop by their place after this," Nene said.
"You mean tonight?" Izzy groaned.
"You've got a busy night ahead of you. I'll talk to you later," Tai chuckled.
"Bye...," Izzy flatly said.
"Come on, Mikey! Let's pound this beer and crush those wings! We're going on a mission," Nene clapped her hands.
"Are you for real? We just got these…," Mikey sighed.
"You know what? Hey miss, can we get a box? Something came up!" Nene flagged down a waitress.
"Seriously?" Mikey whined.
"Hey, I don't want to do this either," Izzy gulped the last of his beer.
"I really appreciate the extra help, but I…uh…I'm kinda on a time crunch?" a young man with tousled, brown hair anxiously wrung his chef beanie through his hands.
"Oh…right. I'm sorry," Mimi slipped her phone in her apron pocket
"I didn't to mean to sound rude, but this is probably the biggest client I've ever dealt with, so I'm a bit nervous. Everything has to be perfect," the guy dried his hands on a kitchen rag.
"So you haven't had orders this large before?" Mimi asked.
"I've had large orders, like weddings and bar mitzvahs but this is a celebrity event, which will probably be on social media. I'm not really sure how that works, I'm just doing a favour for an old friend…," the boy leaned over a countertop.
"An old friend?" Mimi smiled.
"Yeah. She can be a bit particular about things, so it means a lot that she came to me of all people. I just don't want to let her down," the boy ran his fingers through his hair.
"If you're feeling stressed out by this, why don't you let her know that maybe you're not up for it?" Mimi asked.
"No, I can do this. I will do this, even if I have to close up shop for a week. I want to do this," the boy said.
"Wow. This old friend of yours…she has to mean a lot to you then, huh?" Mimi raised an eyebrow.
"I guess you could say. We've known each other since we were kids…she's a bit of a tough cookie, but I know on the inside, she's…more than she lets on. I feel like she just puts up walls, since she's been disappointed in the past. Sometimes I wonder if I disappointed her," the boy said.
"What? You? I've only met you for like twenty minutes, but I can't see you disappointing anyone, Takato!" Mimi grabbed the boy's hand.
"That's really kind of you, but you're right. You don't know me. To be honest, I think I'm a bit of a coward sometimes. Like, she's hard to read, but I was one of few people who could actually understand her…and I think when she wanted me to, I pretended I couldn't read the signs. I guess I was too scared to accept what she was trying to tell me," Takato crossed his arms.
"What do you mean?" Mimi asked.
"She's not one of those people who 'talks' about her feelings, but she shows it in her own way. And I knew all the signals, but I ignored them…I didn't know what to do, I didn't how to handle someone who was essentially emotionally unavailable past just being a friend," Takato shrugged.
"Yeah, I think get exactly what you mean. They always want to push people away," Mimi sighed.
"Not necessarily. Now that I'm older, I think she just wants to feel secure, and she wants to make sure that she can let her guard down with the right person. I want to be that person," Takato said.
"Wow, that's…wow. That left me speechless," Mimi put her hand to her heart.
"What? Was that bad?" Takato turned red.
"No, not at all. I think you said everything I needed to hear," Mimi whispered. "But how do I show my person that I could be the right person for them?"
"You have to look back at what's stopping you. For me, it was my fear…I don't know you that well, but I think your problem might be your pride," Takato cringed.
"Excuse me?" Mimi gasped.
"I didn't mean to be offensive- but you are a public figure. I'm sorry, but I think anyone who's a celebrity is a little superficial to some degree," Takato shrugged.
"Hey, that is not true!" Mimi gasped.
"Okay, maybe that doesn't apply to you…but be honest, how many things have you decided not to do because 'it didn't look good' for your image?" Takato asked.
"Uh, it's not like that at all…," Mimi clenched her fists.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to judge. But I've seen the aftermaths of what happens to people pushed or hidden to the side- and it bothers them more than they'll let on, even if they don't say anything," Takato grabbed a bag of flour and poured it into a mixer.
"But why don't they say anything? I would!" Mimi asked.
"Some people are just tough cookies…speaking of- would you mind heading to the front and getting all the cookies on the top of the counter, next to the register? Those were day-old cookies on sale, but we gotta get rid of them before they get stale. I have a donation box back here," Takato said.
"Oh, sure…," Mimi silently nodded.
"Hey, we're gonna close in 5 minutes!" a guy with shaggy, dark hair ran in front of the store.
"If you don't know what you want, get the hell out," another similar-looking guy shouted. His hair was tied up in a ponytail.
"Sorry about him, that's my brother…," the first boy forced a smile.
"Guys, it's me! Nene! I promise, I'll be quick!" Nene pleaded.
"Nene! It's been a while since you stopped by. What's the occasion?" the first boy exclaimed.
"Hey, it's nice that you're catching up and all, but you mind letting us in while you do that? It's kind of cold out," Mikey shivered.
"Oh sure, my bad…," the guy led everyone inside the store.
"Mikey, Izzy, this is Kouichi, and the guy with the ponytail is Koji," Nene said.
"Hey," Kouichi locked the door.
"So, what brings you in tonight? Miss us much?" Koji smirked.
"Listen, I came here because I figured you'd be able to help a friend out," Nene jerked her thumb in Izzy's direction.
"You sure he's up for this? He's kinda-" Koji winced.
"Kinda what?" Izzy defensively asked.
"Stiff," Koji shrugged.
"Really?" Izzy scoffed.
"Eh, kinda…," Mikey shook his hand.
"Fine, I might be a bit uptight, but it's not like this is my first time at a dispensary," Izzy rolled his eyes.
"It isn't?" everyone gasped in unison.
"Sure…I toke occasionally," Izzy awkwardly shrugged.
"Hahahaha, you did not say toke," Koji laughed.
"You made Koji laugh, I don't think I've ever seen him laugh before," Nene gasped.
"Neither have I, and I'm his brother," Kouichi pressed his lips together.
"I'm glad I was able to entertain you," Izzy rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, look. How can we help you?" Koji cleared his throat.
"We were wondering if you might have something that might help calm him down. Our friend's been going through the ringer lately, and we may or may not have been slightly responsible for it," Nene poked her cheek.
"Oh wait, you're the guy who's dating-"
"Yep, that's me," Izzy sighed.
"So…trouble in paradise since you guys became public, huh?" Koji snorted.
"Huh?" Izzy looked taken aback.
"Yeah. I guess some things are better off meant to be secrets. Once everything's out in the open, everyone has an opinion about it, and it's not always to ignore- especially when it's coming from her parents, who think you're a scumbag because you work at a dispensary," Koji rolled his eyes.
"Sounds like you're speaking from experience," Izzy winced.
"Maybe. I can't imagine it on a scale as large as yours, where the whole world knows though. That's got to be a tough cookie to deal with," Koji whistled.
"Yeah…," Izzy sighed.
"No offense, but I thought you were gonna help him out- not freak him out," Mikey awkwardly tapped on a display case.
"Right…so, we got a couple of new strains in. I feel like you might want to go towards our latest indica strain, Midnight- so smooth, it feels like a relaxing night in. We also have a new satvia, and our house brand, Blue Flare for when you're ready for a mood-booster….and if you want, we created the OG Fusion out of these two strains. It's an effect that's almost outright orgasmic," Koji pulled out a small box.
"Izzy, go crazy. It's our treat," Nene nodded.
"I can't do that," Izzy said.
"We insist," Mikey shook his hand dismissively.
"I'll give you my employee discount," Kouichi said.
"See, even better! Now don't be shy," Nene nudged Izzy.
"Okay, I guess I'll try some of the new strains. You guys twisted my arm enough," Izzy sighed.
"By any chance, are you going to need a pipe or pipe cleaner?" Kouichi stood by the register.
"No, I'm set," Izzy said.
"Nice try on the sales work," Koji whispered to Kouichi.
"Eh," Kouichi shrugged.
"Hey, before we end out the transaction, we've also got some gummies and cookies up front. They're from a small business in Colorado, so you know they're good," Koji winked.
"Add three cookies to the cart," Nene nonchalantly said as she tapped on her phone.
"You got it," Kouichi said as he started boxing up the items.
"Thanks for stopping at Blue Flare Dispensary, here's some stickers. I suggest you put them in obvious places, we need the advertisement…," Koji smirked.
"Hey, I could do you one better! Give me one second!" Nene pulled out her phone and adjusted her phone. "Hey everyone, it's Nene! Just catching up with some old friends of mine here, Koji and Kouichi and boy, we definitely had a blast! If you're 21 and over, and you need to refresh some of your inventory, head over to Blue Flare Dispensary, where you'll have experts on hand and new products to try! We just picked up a couple of new strains that sound…what again?" Nene tilted her phone towards the boys.
"Outright orgasmic," Koji smirked at the camera.
"Can you say that on camera?" Kouichi's eyes widened.
"Oh, the things you can get away with," Mikey said.
"Thanks for the shoutout," Kouichi said.
"Thanks! I have like 500k followers," Nene shrugged.
"Five hundred thousand people watch your stuff?" Izzy looked at her incredulously.
"That's just the people subscribed to me- I get more in views," Nene said.
"Whoa…," Izzy blinked.
"If you think that's crazy, Mimi's in the millions," Nene said.
"Millions?" Izzy grimaced.
"Imagine all the people sharing all the world…," Koji smirked.
"I want to go home now," Izzy groaned.
