WHO: Kou and Kozue
WHAT: Pangs of jealousy and fragile cellphones
WHERE: School
WHEN: Right after Kou declares his intent to 'spend the night with Maeko'; Tom-Dungeon midboss break
WHY: Purposes unknown and sinister.

Having dropped her phone on the concrete when she saw that Kou was, apparently, trying to get into Maeko's pants, Kozue was in nearly complete despair. For one thing, she'd thought that Oubai-senpai had felt… no, that was stupid, and it was going down the same silly path she'd tread down with Keiichi. Following the idea that someone who was polite to her, considerate of her, chivalrous to her, would be somehow a novel experience as a boyfriend. Or even a good one. For another, did he really think that Akuba was more appealing than she was? How could he possibly… But there it was.

And, of course, the fact that she'd broken her phone, was now incommunicado, and would have to spend time and money to get it fixed.

She'd been attending a summer-session tennis practice, mostly because the captain had contacted her about her abysmal attendance record and guilted her into showing up. It was over, and Kozue, with her worse-for-the-wear phone and rather downcast look, was making her way out through the school gates.

"Wh—" She stopped. Everything he said was jerking her in one direction or another, and she hadn't the slightest clue what was happening. What he thought, or what he felt.

"I'm asking because we're team mates, and friends," she tried, "and you were the one who said you'd—you wanted to come home with me. Or do you not feel that way?" The emotional whiplash was upsetting her; she was surprised to find she was actually getting mildly angry. "I get it. If you just want a screw without any pretense of friendliness or anything else, you should just have said so."

	"B-but you just said that you were!" She spluttered, indignantly. "Back there in the school! So you're not? So what's—" She stopped talking and mostly gaped like a fish, baffled, anger and hurt stopped in their tracks by confusion. "I have no idea what's going on," she finally finished with.

	He blinked, confused. "People were bothering me. I said I'd spend the night at Akuba-san's to get Father off my back. But she's a girl so-" There was a fidgeting of his arms. He was quiet as though a wasp had just alighted on his shoulder. "-Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to give the wrong impression. I'm just confused." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kou shrugged. He had hoped to make small talk, and to divert attention from himself. The latter was working. The former? That was becoming too deep. However, he had asked, and if it made her happy then he could politely listen. "What about your parents?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They run the family business. They work in Tokyo these days, and they have since… since I was about ten, I think, so I don't get to see them much anymore. I sometimes go visit on holidays. I like the city a whole bunch—it's got so much going on." She smiled; at least giving personal information was an easy conversational topic. At least, she hoped it was.
