WHO: Kai and Renju.
WHAT: A meeting.
WHERE: Anti-Bullying Club room.
WHEN: (WHATEVER I'LL FIGURE OUT THE TIMELINE FOR THESE TWO THREADS LATER).
WHY: That Yamada kid is weird.

This time, Kai was the one waiting on someone else. Renju should be arriving any time now, but he was perfectly content to wait and savor what he was about to do. Finally about to do.

He leaned back against the classroom wall, holding the Shiisaa doll Seiko's Shadow had left for him. That felt like so long ago now, and he scrutinized the doll, remembering the lump it had put in his throat back then. Looking at it now, he finally felt calm. Calm and in control, for the first time since all of this had started.

Kai picked up the bag off the desk beside him, opened it, and chucked the doll inside, eager to be rid of it and everything else in the bag.

After today, there would be no more running away.

There it was. Renju felt her breath catch and speed up, a burst of adrenaline in her veins that she'd never felt outside Paradise and--once, what felt like a lifetime ago--never thought she'd feel at all. Was this how Keiichi and Tom felt when they'd faced hers alone?

The temptation was there to reason with the Shadow, but it wouldn't do any good--not without Kai himself there. But was there anything she could do besides let it go and minimize risk to herself and the others? It didn't seem violent, at least, but neither had hers.

If only she'd gotten to him a little sooner... but now wasn't the time to think about that. Since the Shadow had obviously noticed, she pulled the phone out and flipped it open. She could send a text to the others, but perhaps it'd be better to wait and see how this went. There was no guarantee that she'd even get time to do it. Her kama were in her bag and not easily at hand, but...

"You'll forgive me if I'm skeptical."

"Of course,"

Then, he grabbed the bag off of the desk and whipped it at Renju hard, not caring if she caught it or not. The bag had some heft to it, as well as something hard that protruded enough to hurt whether she caught it or it struck her. If she were to look, she'd find inside his tonfa, his cell phone, the Shiisaa doll, and even his school uniform.

"This is my formal resignation from the Exploration Team. Take these back, I don't need them anymore."

He walked past her to get to the classroom door, turning the doorknob the wrong way in order to enter Paradise. And then, to himself, he said one more thing with all the fondness in the world:

"I'm going home."

The door slammed shut behind him.

Too startled to grab it and with her hands mostly full anyway, Renju made a small, pained sound as the bag--and the unfortunately-oriented tonfa inside--knocked the wind out of her. She had just enough presence of mind to grab it before it fell to the ground, but not quite enough to effectively stop the Shadow from pushing past her.

Once she'd recovered, she looked down at it with dismay. Nothing to be done now but warn and gather the team.
