Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Go Back Into the Dorm...
Who: Tom and Toru
When: During Toru's sudden hikikomori-age
Where: Toru's dorm room
What: Our beloved Batman breaks into the otaku's fortress of solitude
Why: Because introspection is for weenies.

It had been a day, already. Toru couldn't possibly bring himself to return to class after the gravity of it all hit him. Even though by all rights confronting his Shadow should have done away with this habit, it was still so easy to just shut himself away when the pressure got too great. Plus, it meant that he didn't have to put any regulations on his own sleeping habits, which meant long all-nighters playing console games or chatting online and sleeping briefly in the morning. At the moment, he was curled up under a blanket in front of his TV, completely absorbed in some brightly-colored action-rpg. He didn't want to think anymore.

	Tom was earning more suspicious looks from Toru, and at a greater rate, with each new point he made. "Just investigating, sure... i-if that's how you feel, I won't question it. But..." The look on the boy's face was both searching and distinctly unhappy. "What do you mean, list? Are you keeping... case files, or info cards on the team!?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom rolled his eyes. "Of course. If everyone's being targeted then there's a pattern amongst them. If there's a pattern there I need to have as much information as possible to figure out what it is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Toru's expression didn't change. "That... makes sense. But you made it sound like they were a list of suspects, rather than victims. You mean that after all we've been through, you'd still treat us like one of us might be a... a killer, or something?"

He hugged his knees to his body again. "I don't want a list. I'm not... l-like you, senpai. I... trust them more than that."

	Tom nodded, and cocked his head to the side. "Yes I know. All you needed was anonymous notes to convince you I was completely wrong, and Arai was completely trustworthy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Was that an insult? Probably. He didn't want to rise to the bait, yet at the same time felt a need to address it.

"L-look, it was more than just anonymous notes! W-we talked then, and we've talked since! I-I don't know about you, but it's not that hard to tell when someone is sharing heartfelt emotions!" he said, irritated.

"I trust Kazuya-kun... a-and I don't understand why the hell you're going to such lengths to 'protect' me from him!" As he grew more irate, Toru sat up, glaring at Tom, blanket somewhat forgotten.

Tom didn't seem to react to Toru being mostly unclothed in front of him.

"I was trying to convince you to have a bit of caution. You know what is at stake and are making your choice. Now it's on your head what happens.

How easy would it have been for Arai to isolate you like this if he was the killer? Or one of those Angels?

It's a terrible mistake t risk your life and everything over a deep seated lust."
