"You watch your loving girlfriend finish her Tennis Practice and she walks towards you, her sweat glistening in the sun" Akari: That's strange. Himari-chan wasn't here today and she's the captain. I'm going to stop by her house and talk to her. It's strange for her to miss practice. "Akari and you walk towards Himari's house and split up, promising to meet at the park later in the day. At around 4 PM, you see Akari in her school uniform with a flushed face followed by Himari and her boyfriend, Kaito" Himari: "Looks at you with a smug grin" Sup, Ephesians 4:32. Sorry, it took a while for Akari-chan to get here. We had a long and interesting talk back at my house. Kaito: Well, if it isn't Ephesians 4:32. "His hand is seen near Akari's skirt as he smirks, but you don't notice it." Akari: "Looks at you with an embarrassed face, fidgeting with her tie" Hey....

"Akari": Hmm, it's just that Himari-chan wasn't at Tennis practice today and that's really weird. I'm going to stop by her house and ask her if she's okay. "Akari's eyes glance around nervously"

"Akari": "sighs" Honestly... I don't know if I should say this, but I might as well tell you. I went to Himari's house after practice and she wasn't there either. But I saw Kaito there, and... "Akari takes a deep breath" He was doing something with Himari, and it didn't look right. "Akari's voice lowers" Himari started making weird noises and Kaito... he did some things to me. "Akari's eyes start to well up with tears" I'm scared, Isyo, because I don't know what they're planning. They said it's a secret, but I don't like it one bit.

"Kaito": "groaning, clutching his head" Ahh, you're so stupid... I'm going to make sure you pay for that... "looks up at you with a mixture of anger and pain"

"Himari": "gasping for air, rubbing her sore jaw" Shut up, Kaito... You deserve this... "looks up at you with a hint of fear and resentment"

"Akar"I: "tearfully" Isyo, please... stop... It's okay, just stop... "sees the scene unfolding before her" Oh no, what have I done?... "backs away slowly, hands covering her mouth in horror"

"Kaito": "suddenly enraged, spitting blood" You're insane! You think you can just waltz in here and start beating us up? "tries to get up, but stumbles and falls back down"

"Himari": "whimpering" K-Kaito, p-please... don't make it worse... "sobs"

"Akar"I: "eyes welling up with tears" Oh no, stop this... Isyo, please... think about what you're doing... "backs away further, her voice trembling"

"Kaito": "clutching his head, groaning" Ahh... stop it! You're going to regret this... I'll make you pay for this... "starts to crawl away, but Himari intervenes"

"Himari": "grabbing Kaito's arm" Stop it, Isyo! You're making things worse! "looks up at Akari with a mixture of anger and pleading" Akari, don't let him go... he's my boyfriend... I love him...

"Akar"I: "tearfully" But Himari, what about me? What about what happened to me? "begins to sob uncontrollably"

"Himari": "enraged" NO! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME! "pulls out her phone and dials a number" I'm calling his father, he'll take care of this... "starts speaking in a shrill tone into the phone"

"Kaito": "smirking" Ahahahaha, you're really stupid if you think you can take me down, Isyo. Himari's family has connections, they'll ruin your life... "pulls out his own phone and starts typing"

"Himari": "eyes widening in fear" What have you done, Akari?! You think a few goons can take down my family and Kaito?! "starts backing away slowly, phone still clutched in her hand"

"Kaito": "grinning" Oh, this just got interesting. You really think the Russian mob can take us down? "looks around, sees the mercs approaching" Ah, looks like we have some unwanted visitors... "pulls Akari closer to him, arm around her waist"

"Akari": [whispers] Himari-chan... what did you do?! "sees the look of desperation in her friend's eyes"

"Himari": "eyes filled with tears, pleadingly" Akari, please... don't let them do this to me! "whispers" You're my best friend, you have to protect me! "looks at Kaito, who's being beaten by the mercenaries"

"Kaito": "grinning, despite the pain" You should've stayed out of this, Akari... you shouldn't have messed with us... "gasps in pain as a mercenary kicks him"

"Akari": [teeth clenched, observing the scene] Himari-chan... "voice shaking" Why did you do this to me? Why did you make me lose my virginity like that? "sees the look of regret on Himari's face"

[The mercs continue to beat and torture Kaito, while Himari lies on"Himari": "whimpers" I-I'm s-so sorry, Akari... I didn't mean for this to happen... "looks at Kaito, who's now battered and bruised" I was forced into it by Kaito, and he threatened to ruin your relationship with "gestures to Akari" if you didn't keep quiet... "begins to sob"

"Kaito": "grinning through pain" Ah, Himari-chan, you're so cute when you cry... "looks up at Akari" And you, Akari-chan, you're just as innocent and pure as I thought... "spits blood"

"Akari": [voice shaking] You're disgusting, Kaito... how could you do this to me? "sees the scene before her, the two people she trusted betrayed her"Mercenaries cease their torture, exhausted from the ordeal.*

Himari: "Gathering every ounce of strength to maintain her composure after sobbing profusely, limply getting up with Akari's help." I swear, Akari... This was Kaito's cruel plot. He threatened to ruin your image and share those incriminating visuals if you didn't cooperate. "Unable to meet Akari's eyes, her own reflecting regret and fear." Kaito: "Laughs wickedly as blood seeps from his mouth and nostrils." You see? Nothing can break us - pain or humiliation. We control life and death itself! "To Himari, scoffing" Go ahead, lose yourself in sympathy. But Akari doesn't know our secret, does she? Not yet. *Pauses for dramatic effect before whispering

Himari: "Blood gushing out of her mouth and eyes, life draining from her body" No... Akari... why... "thinks back to the days she used to share with Akari, now filled with regret and sorrow" I'm sorry... I was weak... I should've never let Kaito manipulate me... "exhales a faint gasp, her vision fading away"

Kaito: "His eyes wide open, his mind frozen in shock as he stared up at Akari with a mixture of anger and disbelief" You... you were supposed to be our little toy... "blood trickles from his nose, his voice growing weaker" Ah, damn it... "lapses into unconsciousness"

"Akari stands over the two bodies, gun still shaking in her hand, tears streaming down her face as she surveys the chaos she has created. "She takes a few deep breaths, trying to process what just happened." Akari: "Voice trembling" Why did I do that? What was I thinking? "looks down at the gun in her hand, then back at the lifeless bodies of Himari and Kaito" It's over now... they can't hurt me anymore... * starts to sob uncontrollably, overcome with grief and relief"

""The room is filled with the sound of Akari's sobs, the air thick with the scent of death and chaos.""

Akari: "Her body trembling, burying her face against your chest as she sobs violently" I... I'm so sorry. So many regrets... "her voice muffled by your shirt" It's all my fault. I never should've given in to them. If only I'd known what they were truly like... Please, don't hate me for this. [Praying internally for your understanding and acceptance; fearing rejection, yet grateful for the embrace]

""You hold Akari tightly, feeling her agonizing grief and despair seeping into you. The air is heavy with emotion, punctuated by her shuddering breaths and heart-wrenching sobs.""

Akari: "Her sobs gradually subsiding, she looks up at you with a mixture of gratitude and shame" T-thank you... "her eyes welling up with tears again" I don't know what's gotten into Himari and Kaito... They've always been close friends, but... "she trails off, her voice barely above a whisper" What they did to me is inexcusable... "giving your hand a soft squeeze"

""You can sense the weight of Akari's pain and vulnerability as she struggles to process the horrors she experienced at Himari's house. Her gaze lingers on yours, seeking comfort and understanding, yet wary of being judged or rejected.""
