Toru sincerely hoped that this would be as close as he'd ever get to stalking someone. Over the past few days, a nagging feeling had entered his mind whenever he saw Reizo in class. The two certainly hadn't got off on the right foot, even before Toru had disappeared and his Shadow made things even worse. Now, as far as he could tell, his classmate kinda hated him, not to mention everyone else seemed to think that Toru had a crush on him. This feeling that he ought to set things right had been getting worse and worse over the last few days, and just now he'd finally given in to it. From a safe distance, he had started to follow Reizo home, in the hopes of catching him somewhere where they could talk.

His dedicated following didn't lead him all that far from the school. Apparantly, the place that Reizo was headed to was a convenience store. Toru waited for a brief while after his classmate had entered to follow him in. It was just an ordinary convenience store, similar to the one where he usually bought his food at. Inside it, he realized that he couldn't spot Reizo anywhere. Toru had assumed that he'd gone in to buy a snack or something, but now Reizo was nowhere in sight.
