Two days after Sawuta told Akio not to talk to her, Ryuu and Akio were hanging out at his house.
"So, you really haven't talked to her since then?" asked Ryuu as he sat on his bed reading a sports magazine.
"I'm going to give her till tomorrow, then I'm going to talk to her," said Akio who was playing a video game.
"She won't listen to you, she's trying to protect you," said Ryuu.
"Then I'll tell her I don't need her to protect me," said Akio.
"Would you listen to that if the roles were reversed?" asked Ryuu.
"Why do you have to sound so smart sometimes, I mean you normally don't make such good points you know?" asked Akio as he paused his game to look at his friend.
"I don't know, especially given who my parents are," said Ryuu.
"So, do you have an idea of what I should do?" asked Akio.
"I sent the only person she'll listen to over to her place and she should be arriving any minute now," said Ryuu.
"When did she get back?!" asked Akio with a surprised expression.
"Today, I sent her a message before her plane arrived," said Ryuu. Meanwhile, someone had just rang the doorbell at Sawuta's house.
"Coming," said Sawuta as she walked to the door. When she opened it, the person on the other side was a girl her age with brownish red hair.
"It's been a while, Sawuta," said the girl with a friendly smile.
"What are you doing here, Ryuka?!" asked a surprised Sawuta.
"I was on my way back when I got a message from Ryuu saying you needed to talk about something," said Ryuka.
"It's nothing, sorry your brother bothered you with this," said Sawuta.
"You can't lie to me," said Ryuka with a stern expression.
"Then come on up to my room and I'll tell you what happened," said Sawuta along with a sigh.
