Back in Sachi's room, Morio was sitting on her bed as she lay asleep. He would stay awake all night. There was no point in sleeping. He was going to guard her. Keep her safe.

"I won't let anyone hurt her." He murmured to himself. "Not again."

I'll do what I please

Gripped by the front of her collar, Kyashi found herself slammed against the metallic wall, a simple smirk on her face. "What? All I did was say 'yes' or 'no'....and he did say it was my choice...." She said coolly towards an annoyed Ryuka.

"That's not the point! If you were going to kill her, then why the hell didn't you escape immediately afterwards?!"

It had been like this for quite a while now. Jiriki had remained silent, watching the two argue for a moment more. In a throne-like chair, he sat cross-legged, his arms on the respective armrests.

"Well, I do!" The Injiki snapped.

"And why's that?"

"Because unlike most of these guys around you, I CARE ABOUT YOU!"

Immediately, her eyes widened. Ryuka's voice immediately softened. "I don't know what they think... but I actually care about whether you live or die. Ever since we were alive, I couldn't stop thinking about whether you were gonna get killed for even being associated with me back then. I care about you... or have you forgotten that?!"

"...." She was a bit shaken by his words.
