(D/C until further notice) THE MISSED SPIRITS

[0-8] - Yuki Shirakawa's Introduction

Renjiro and I walked back to Riku as he called out the person's name.

We waited for a bit, and Riku looked confused.

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "Oh, come on, don't tell me you're hiding?!"

I looked around as well.

Even though everyone was almost the same height as me, some short and some taller, I couldn't find anybody.

...That's probably because I don't even know a "Yuki" yet.

...

But, someone in the corner of my eye moved away.

And I see a person sitting down in a corner.

I try my best to avoid eye contact.

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Hey, uhm... Riku?"

I walk a bit closer to Riku.

RIKU NAKASHIIMA: "Hm? What is it?"

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Is... that Yuki guy sitting over there?"

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "What do you mean?"

I give signals about the boy sitting in the corner.

!!!

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "Yeah, yeah! That's him!"

He looks scared, though... I don't want Riku to do anything unnecessary.

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Don't scare him, though..."

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "I'm one of the people who he knows most, so he'll soften up."

RENJIRO KATO: "I have an idea. Just tell us his name!"

"He certainly doesn't have to talk to us."

...

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "Eh... you're right I guess."

"His name's Yuki Shirakawa. And from what I know, he's contestant number 14."

RENJIRO KATO: "I see..."

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "Anyways, was that all you wanted to know?"

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Technically, that's all we can know."

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "I get your point."

...

We stood there for-

!!!

RENJIRO KATO: "I have another fantastic idea."

Great.

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "What is it?"

RENJIRO KATO: "Wanna tag along on our introduction adventure?"

You're calling it an adventure...?

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "I mean... I don't see why not?"

RENJIRO KATO: "Awesome!"

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Who do we even start with first?"

RIKU NAKASHIMA: "Follow me. I have a great idea."
