After walking for half an hour, they had yet to find the penguins.
Denji was a bit sad at this point, everything went bad in this date. She had really high hopes for this to go well, she had prepared so much, put on some makeup, picked up a nice outfit, heck, she even cut her hair at a saloon instead of leaving it to Nayuto. Oh, right, she has to pick him up after this.
Denji stopped on her tracks, she felt a bit overwhelmed. She still hasn't completely got used to having a child under her care. After all, she wasn't really mother material, or big sister or whatever their relationship is like. And the fact that he was the reincarnation of... him. Asa stopped by her side as he noticed her change of mood.
"What, finally gave up?" Denji shot him an annoyed glare. "You're really starting to piss me off" She sighed and walked to the nearest wall, sliding down and sitting in the ground against it.
"Leave me alone would you? I need to think..." Denji said looking down, she hugged her knees, not caring that he might look under her dress.
Ah... she hated this, remembering him. It always left her feeling unsettled, what if she fucked up? What if she messed up and Nayuto ended like him. She didn't want that, she couldn't allow that to happen, not after all the pain he inflicted, to everyone, to her.
"Ugh..." Denji covered her mouth, she felt the bile rise on her throat. She still has nightmares, of him watching her, spying on her, every action, every movement. Of that day when he...
"Hey, what's wrong?" Asa voice then snapped her from hr thoughts. "You are... crying..." Denji quickly tried to clean the tears with her hands."Shit, I just did an even bigger fool of myself"
She quickly stood up, adverting her gaze. "I-It's nothing..." an awkward silence formed between them. "Wait... didn't... didn't we pass the starfish already?"
