I have to keep my cool, you know? Have to stay calm for Dillon's sake. He's been through enough with his sister already, this recent stress of not being able to find her is just not fair at all.

...of course I'm worried about Tenaya too! She's like a sister to me! It's just... well, she's the one missing, so she doesn't exactly need my moral support right now. But Dillon does, and I'm his partner, and I've got to be strong for him!

And if that means going out and getting him a bagel and coffee for breakfast, well, I'm a big boy now, I can wander the streets of a foreign country by myself. Besides, I'm only going to the corner bakery down the street from the apartment our team has been renting.

So maybe I also picked up some fruit from a stand on the way, and maybe I got baked goods and coffee for the whole team instead of just Dillon. No big deal, I can totally carry all this by myself.

Oh, there goes an apple, damn.

I hadn't seen the attack coming. My mistake. I should have been keeping a better eye out, but I was late for school, and my headache was already at a dull roar. I could barely focus to keep my steps even and measured, I wasn't exactly keeping an eye out for Sakuta-s.... Aries.

He could have killed me if he'd wanted, so I guess it's some small comfort that I'm still alive, despite my slowly blackening eye, possibly broken arm, and the blood flowing pretty freely from what feels like a very nasty gash on the back of my head. Scattered other smaller injuries too, minor scrapes and bruises.

My vision is too blurry to focus, and I think if I try and stand I may be sick. Clutching my injured arm to my chest, I reach carefully for Nuggegyroika with my free hand, opening the box, the Tsunuggets hop out, hovering for a moment.

"Find Yuuki. Or Kisaragi. Please."

They float off, and I exhale shakily. I know I should try and stay alert and focused, because I probably have a concussion, by my eyes feel so heavy...
