7.1
(10 days later...)
{The scene randomly opens up to a part of the school environment, it's late morning, 10:55am, and students are seemingly in between going to classes and resting from previous classes. }
(Obito is seen in his department. He is having a class. Dressed in a black hoodie and cargo pants, he is bored with his hand on his chin. He seems a bit carried away while the lecturer talks to the rest of them.)
Obito: Hmm...
(looking outside the window, spinning his pen casually)
Obito: (Things just don't seem normal... For a while now... Glen hasn't been active on trying to make moves on Naori. I know I should be okay with that, but... (grips the pen) I still feel something is coming.)
(A mild gust blows through the opposite window.)
Male classmate: Hey dude...
(Obito mumbles to himself.)
Male classmate: Dude, Uhh hello.... (snaps fingers.)
Obito: Wha? Huh? (Snaps back) Hey man, need something?
Male classmate: Should be asking you that dude, your manuscripts are gonna fly out the window.
(Wind suddenly blows through the opposite window heavily. It pushes some other students manuscripts outside the window while others manage to catch their scripts before it flies out.)
Obito: Whoa, no no no! (Picks them, almost frantically.)
(He manages to catch all of the scripts flying towards the window.)
Obito: (sighs in relief) Ohh, thank God.
Male classmate: You okay dude? (looks with some concern.)
Obito: Yeah, I'm good bro. Thanks for the help.
Male classmate: No problem.
(He sees a manuscript on the floor beside Obito, picks it up but scans it first before commenting.)
Male classmate: This... this is crazy good bro, but they don't seem like notes for a wind instrument.
Obito: Wind instrument?
Male classmate: Yeah, or wait... do you play wind instruments in the department? (Returns the script.)
Obito: Oh, no man. I'm more into the strings. I play the acoustic guitar.
Male classmate: Ohh, that's cool (teases) huh, Mr romance guy, please sway our hearts and sweep us off our feet with your strums haha.
Obito: (snickers) well... I can mostly play some good tunes but I've never swept a dude off his feet haha. What instrument do you play?
Male classmate: I play the oboe.
Obito: Oboe (thinks) isn't it that really big looking clarinet thing?
Male classmate: They're similar but different... but yeah haha. It's quite a lot of time to practice with it. By the way bro, I'm Kazuhiro Shota.
Obito: Okazaki Obito, nice to meet you Shouta.
(They shake hands, reintroducing themselves.)
Lecturer: Are the both of you done now?
Shota: (laughs nervously) ahh, yes sir.
Lecturer: Oh good, finally the class is mine again.
(The class laughs gently with the lecturer.)
Shota: Hey dude, would you want to meet up for practice after school?
(Obito pauses for a while and looks at him carefully.)
Obito: (Practice... honestly I would love to, but... I have a feeling if I say yes, I'll miss the most important parts of what I'm meant to be occupied with. Also, we just met today and I still have to do a lot of stuff.) Maybe not today man... I've got some extra places to be and I'm worried I won't make it back on time. Maybe we can reschedule?
Shota: No problem bro, we're in the same department anyway and there'll be other moments. We'll try some other time (smiles reassuringly.)
(Obito nods back at him, just then the class is over and the students and lecturer leave the hall.)
(End.)
7.2
{1:00 pm, classes have ended, Obito is leaving the department with the rest of his colleagues. Students around still seem to be busy with some lectures still holding.}
Obito: (sighs in relief) classes are over for today, I filled up on groceries yesterday... Guess I'm going home straight.
(Reaching his bike, he's about to put on his helmet when footsteps quickly approach him.)
Shota: Hey, Okazaki kun. (Waves)
Obito: (seriously... anyway what could he want) Hey... Kazuhiro kun right?
Shota: (panting) Yeah haha, sorry I stopped you suddenly.
Obito: It's okay, wassup?
Shota: Er... To be honest, I've noticed you had a really cool motorcycle.
Obito: (stares blankly) okay... And?
Shota: Um... (bows his head) Please I'd like to ask for a ride to the literary arts department.
Obito: Literary arts?
Shota: (raises his head) yeah, I have a friend in that department and from what she told me, they have a test in a few minutes. I... I happen to accidentally have her textbook with me, I want to help her by returning it. Please I need your help cos you can get there fast on the bike.
(Obito looks at him for a while, thinking though they just met, he's in need of help.)
Obito: Alright dude, sure I can help you out.
Shota: Thank you bro, I really owe you one.
Obito: Although, I don't know department routes in this school that well, you're gonna have to be the guide.
Shota: No problem. (seriously, he doesn't get out?) Thank you.
(They both get on his bike, Obito starts and moves off with Shota directing him to the department.)
(minutes later...)
Obito: (This school is huge though...) That's it up ahead right?
Shota: Yeah, you can ride off at the side of the road. I think I see her outside. (He searches keenly.)
(Obito moves a little and stops the bike at a pavement. Shota gets off.)
Shota: Hey dude, thanks again for helping me with this.
Obito: No problem bro, go help her pass her test.
(Shota runs off to his friend.)
Obito: Now then... I'm going home. (Revs the bike a bit.)
(He's about to move out when he notices Asuka talking with friends, his breath hitches.)
Obito: (She's here again, why?...)
(his eyes widen a bit.)
Obito: (That's right... this is her department, can't believe I almost forgot that. Should I say hi?... What do I do?)
(While thinking, he accidentally revs the bike up too loud.)
Obito: Aah! (Releases the throttle, looks round embarrassed to see everyone noticing him and making calm remarks on him and his bike.) Should've just gone home honestly.
(Asuka quietly approaches him, his back is turned from her.)
Asuka: (teases) was it loud enough for you?
Obito: Very funny.
Asuka: (giggles) I didn't know that you liked the fast life. Were you always into bikes?
(Obito turns off the bike, she uses her fingers to gently trace the edges of the bike while seemingly inspecting it.)
Obito: Umm... (thinks briefly) I really just did some training during my gap year. When I got this model, I didn't even know the model was this agile till someone told me about it.
Asuka: So do you go fast or you're a city cruiser?
Obito: well... 50:50.
(They both giggle while looking at each other.)
Asuka: By the way, what brought you over here?
Obito: I met someone today, later on, he had a bit of an errand he wanted to do for someone. I didn't want to turn him down so I brought him here. (Apparently she's a freshman too.)
(He and Asuka look in Shota's direction, Shota waves at Obito, Obito waves by awkwardly but sincerely. Asuka smiles at him.)
Asuka: (He's changed, quite a lot. But he's still a big softie.) Hey, I'm done with classes for today. Would you please give me a ride Mr Bikeman?
Obito: Sure... Wait? Mr what?
(Asuka laughs.)
Obito: That is mean! (he smirks and laughs to himself while thinking about how beautiful Asuka looks with her laugh.) Be my guest, miss passenger.
(He helps her onto the bike and offers her his helmet. She collects it.)
Asuka: What about you? (concerned)
Obito: Your safety is more important, I'll be fine. (Reassuringly.)
Asuka: (my big softie, soon... I'll reach you again, I promise.) Thank you. (Softly)
(Obito starts the bike, revs up, Asuka is startled by the exhaust but they laugh it off.)
Obito: Hang on, okay?
(She gently wraps her arms around his chest. Obito is flustered but doesn't get distracted.)
Asuka: I'm safe now. (Whenever we're together, I'm always much happier and safer.)
(Obito rides off slowly from the department to the dormitory. He speeds up a bit when they take a left turn.)
(Scene fades out.)
(End.)
7.3
{3:30 pm, Obito is in his room, now he looks to be reading one of his novels he has.}
Obito: (I understand now, so, aside the female first mate he had, other characters here just had to keep playing the protagonist till they used him in the end?)
(He squints his eyes in disbelief and closes the book.)
Obito: That is just wrong.
(He looks to Buster, the dog looks back at him and Obito playfully asks.)
Obito: You won't eventually bite me someday right?
(Buster barks and grumbles in agreement, Obito chuckles.)
Obito: Good boy.
(Just then, there is a soft knock on his door, Buster is alerted but remains calm.)
Obito: Hmm? Did someone knock?
(Knocks again, a bit louder this time, Buster barks twice.)
Obito: Just a minute.
(He gets off the bed and walks to the door.)
Obito: (who could be knocking? I'm not exactly expecting anyone... Baji isn't this civilised when knocking... So...)
(He opens up to see Asuka, he gasps a bit.)
Asuka: Did I scare you?
Obito: Ah n-no, not really...
(He looks at her hand, sees the packaged food.)
Obito: Wassup?
Asuka: Nothing really, i... I wanted to give you this.
(She hands it over...)
Obito: Oh, a homemade meal... wait, Ichinose San, (teases) do you do food deliveries?
Asuka: (flustered) food de... What?! N-no, i...
(Looks away from him, slightly embarrassed)
Asuka: I... made a little too much... I thought it was okay to share...
(Obito, stunned, looks at the bag again.)
Obito: (why, Why'd she go so far? Did she overcook or did she really do it?)
(He smiles gently.)
Obito: (well whatever, it was a cool thing) Do... Do you wanna share it together? (Softly, scratches his chin nervously.)
(She beams up and smiles at him contentedly.)
Asuka: I'd like that... (I'd really like to.)
(Asuka enters the room, Buster is quick to greet her and she pats his head playfully. He wags his tail earnestly.)
Obito: (that dog keeps outshining me haha.)
(Asuka slowly looks around his room, she spots the novel he was reading and picks it up.)
Asuka: You've also read this novel?
Obito: Well... I actually just finished it before you came. What was the book like for you?
Asuka: I thought it was interesting at first. I got a bit engrossed in the storyline. Halfway in, I knew it wasn't really making much sense and it was mostly the protagonist doing all the heavy work when he had a team.
Obito: I know right? They didn't even look like they tried to help him throughout the story.
Asuka: Is it weird I knew that but still kept reading because I was hoping he would find out?
Obito: (chuckles) it's not, cos I also thought that he could have noticed it at least a little bit and tried to rebel.
Asuka: I agree.
Obito: Really if that was me and I had been betrayed like that (eagerly demonstrates) I'd fight the entire line of backstabbers.
Asuka: Oh? (giggles), how would you do that as the captain.
Obito: As captain, I'd tie every single one up and since it was mostly sea adventures, I'll have them all walk the plank.
Asuka: (clenches her fists gently) Although, it seems like the girl he met first was the only one who didn't betray him all through. As the captain... what would you do to her?
Obito: My first mate? I'd protect her with my life! (he laughs heartily still in character.)
(Asuka's breath hitches, she watches at him while he laughs heartily and for a while she has a flashback to when she saw a younger Obito have that kind of laugh as they played as children, she snaps back, smiles... softly seizing the moment of the true Obito behind his mask he wears daily.)
Asuka: (quietly) You really haven't changed Obito kun.
Obito: Obito kun? (he has a hazy flashback for a second, snaps back.)
(They look at each other, slightly gazing at each other, Obito looks at her with more of curiosity and care. Buster barks and interrupts the mood.)
Obito: (flustered) I uh... I'll set up the table so we can eat.
Asuka: (flustered, happy) Oh okay (that was close, that was too close. (sighs, adjusts on the bed) somehow, I had hoped he would remember me from that... (Looks down) But I won't give up, I'm not giving up on you Obito kun.)
Obito: Ichinose san, care to join me here?
Asuka: (chuckles) I'd be happy to.
(End.)
7.4
(Obito has set the table and they both settle down to eat.)
Obito: Thank you for the meal.
(He picks up some rice and curry to taste.)
Obito: Hmm? (Wow that is good. The rice is perfect and the sauce is rich in everything for a good time.)
Asuka: So... Do you like your meal?
Obito: Oh, uh... (Well yeah I do, I'm not gonna say no, you're not gonna bait me haha.) I, I'm having a good time here, the food is really good.
Asuka: (flustered, turns away) Oh r-really, well then... I'm glad you're enjoying it. (I'm very glad honestly, I want to cook more meals and do even more if you're around me.)
Obito: Hey Ichinose san, what is your favorite food?
Asuka: Oh, uh... (thinks), hmm... I don't think I've had a favorite food haha.
Obito: Really? (Really no favorite food?)
Asuka: Yeah... Well I guess the food I eat mostly is rice and curry... I'm not really a good cook haha.
Obito: Who told you that?
(Silence ensues for seconds.)
Asuka: No one actually... but some years back, I remember I was told to cook something other than rice for a school competition. That time, I lacked skills to making other dishes taste good but even through that, I chose not to give up and worked hard to make my effort recognised. I followed up and made something to eat for the judges... (Looks down, holds her wrist) But...
Obito: (softly) But...
(She hesitates for a bit then continues.)
Asuka: But when they tasted my presentation, they went as far as acting like they enjoyed it. I remember they first encouraged me to keep working hard and I was happy for a while, then I heard them later, they were talking with the organizers, they were particular about one dish... and I found out it was mine. (her voice cracks, tears stream down her face.) They... they said horrible things about it, how they had to force themselves to swallow it. One of them called it a "prisoner's forbidden meal of death." (she sobs, her hands, body trembling) Since then, I never really wanted to cook anything more than I already knew. I know it sounds stupid that I gave up but then... I just felt tired of pleasing everyone. (She covers her face to hide her tears) I'm sorry you have to see me like this.
(He looks at her for a little while.)
Obito: I don't think there's anything wrong with it, Ichinose san.
Asuka: Huh?
(She raises her head up, he cautiously moves over and cleans her tears.)
Obito: I want to eat more of your food. From what I heard, it's a beautiful thing that you did your best considering the fact that you were humiliated. Maybe it was just the recipe, maybe it was mixed up, we can fix that, but... I want to help you with improving the taste cos to me, you're a great cook. This food was delicious and I really can't thank you enough for it. So... If you don't mind, I'd like to guide you and as well... (scratches his jaw) be your food taster... cos I enjoy it.
(She beams up, gazes at him and smiles happily.)
Asuka: Thank you.
(Obito freezes at her smile)
Obito: (God, she's so beautiful.)
(They continue their meal while chatting in between. Moments later...)
Asuka: Since we're both done, I'll clean up the table.
(He watches her clean for a while, a bit dazed at how all this happened, he snaps.)
Obito: (Ichinose san, ichi... san... It all sounds so alike. I feel I've found someone I used to know... A piece that somehow completes a puzzle. I've felt that way for a little bit now but, I can't be sure... That's why... I'm not sure, that's why I can't say I remember her.)
(He sighs softly.)
Obito: (I'm stressing... Honestly, I don't know and may never know if she can hear me but, if you can Ichi san...)
(he looks down, smiles to himself.)
Obito: (I'd really like to see you again.)
(They clean up and both wash the dishes. A minute later, Obito's phone rings. He walks to the desk to pick up the call.)
Obito: Hello?
Caller: Hey Obi kun, wassup?
Obito: Mui kun? Nothing really going on.
Muichiro: Oh good then haha.
Obito: Good? (Confused) Why?
Muichiro: We're coming in bro.
Obito: Coming in... (realises) Wait are you at my dorm?!
Muichiro: Yeah man, peace!
(Hangs up)
Obito: Wait wait chill, I have a guest here... Also, who is we?
(Obito's door handle begins to rattle slowly, Buster grumbles.)
Obito: Ichinose San, stay behind me!
(She obeys, suddenly the door slowly creaks open, Buster growls and seconds later, Baji peeks in.)
Baji: Yo! (Smiles)
Obito: Baji kun?!... (sighs in relief)
(Buster barks)
Baji: I bet you thought you were being raided haha. Hey Buster!
(Buster wags his tail barking playfully.)
Obito: (chuckles) normal people don't do that, heck you scared Buster a bit. How did you even open up, I remember telling you to drop the extra key.
Baji: Haha, I did (brings out another key.) I cut my own (grins).
(Asuka giggles behind Obito, Baji notices.)
Baji: Hey Gloomlord, your back is vibrating on its own.
Obito: My... My what?
Asuka: (Gloomlord?)
(She giggles again, tipping Obito forward a little.)
Baji: Gah! it's doing it again! Do you need a hospital?
Obito: My back is fine dude.
Baji: Then what keeps moving?
Obito: It's Ichinose San dummy!
Baji: Eh?
(Obito moves and Asuka walks forward with a soft smile.)
Asuka: It's nice to meet you, I'm Ichinose Asuka.
Baji: (...Wait, Obito, a girl, in a room...) Eh!?
(He looks outside and yells.)
Baji: Muichiro kun! Something is very wrong here!
(Obito sighs, Asuka laughs up a bit, Muichiro walks up the stairs.)
Muichiro: Bro, why the hell are you yelling?
Baji: Come see for yourself.
(Muichiro looks into Obito's room and sees Asuka, he freezes and taps Baji)
Muichiro: Hey bro, (confused, slightly points to Asuka) There's a girl...
Baji: Yeah, (gazes, folding his arm) I see it too bro.
Muichiro: Obito, there is a girl in your room.
Obito: (exasperated) I'm well aware of the situation in my room!
(End.)
7.5
{6:50 pm, at the store Naori works at, the atmosphere is lively a bit, people are talking and making purchases.}
(Naori and Zen are working on the orders of the customers.)
Zen: Thank you come again.
Naori: Would that be all?
(They continue working when the manager comes in. He notices their hard work through the day and thinks of a plan.)
Manager: Hello everyone, thank you all for shopping with us. We appreciate you all... But please I would like to borrow both these employees for a while. I apologize for the inconvenience but, in the meantime, these employees would attend to you all.
(He brings in two other employees who are happy to work with them. They station up and start taking orders while he escorts them both to the back.)
Zen: Um sir, is there a problem?
Manager: (smiles, shakes his head) There's no problem. I just saw how much both of you always work so hard after your school hours here. So I thought I'd let you off tonight.
Naori: Really??
Manager: Yeah, you can stop working for tonight and go rest till Thursday.
Both: Thank you sir, it's much appreciated!
Manager: (laughs) don't worry about it. Take care of yourselves.
(He walks back in, they follow to go get changed and head to their dorm.)
(7:04 pm...They both walk outside to the alley and then the street.)
Zen: You ready?
Naori: Yeah.
Zen: Alright, I'll hail a taxi for us.
(They walk to the intersection to hail a taxi, meanwhile, on the opposite side, there is a completely black van seemingly waiting for them to get picked up. There is a hooded figure inside the van watching them both.)
Van driver: Huh... I think that's her (checks the pictures to see if it matches) Yeah, it's her.
Boss (over headset): Hey Push, you see the girl yet, it should be their closing time.
Gentle push: I see em, I got it covered boss, don't worry.
Boss: It's up to you now chum. (Radios out)
(He keeps waiting for them till they get in a taxi, minutes later, Zen finds an empty one.)
Zen: Taxi!
(The taxi stops beside them and they both get in. The taxi drives off to the destination. 8 seconds later, the van follows them slowly and cautiously catching up.)
(Meanwhile in the car...)
Zen: (stretches) I'm still so stiff from today's work.
Naori: At least now we can rest without having to worry. Hey Zen, what do you have planned tonight?
Zen: Nothing actually (shows her a small ice-cream tub) though... I kinda had plans for trying to share an ice-cream with Tokyo Chan.
(He laughs nervously as she teases him, the driver notices them both and smiles.)
(Suddenly, the driver notices the black van in the mirror slowly trying to catch up to them.)
Driver: You kids, put your head down.
Naori: Why sir.
Driver: I'm sorry, I know it's not my place to tell you but please do as I say.
Naori: (gasps) followed?
(She starts thinking why then suddenly her thought goes to Glen, she shivers and gulps down hard.)
Naori: (voice shaky) H-hey sir, we're going to be okay right?
Driver: We're gonna be fine miss. Don't worry, I'll shake him off.
(She turns to Zen, who is looking outside the other side mirror to see the van.)
Naori: Zen?
Zen: Nao Chan, we will be fine (smiles reassuringly) but for now, keep your head down.
(The driver moves faster and then makes left turn away from the destination. Slowly the van traces the car.)
Gentle push: (snickers) so you're making my job easier now eh?
(He suddenly speeds up to the van, the driver speeds up too. He continuously bumps into the taxi softly then slows down, taunting them.)
Zen: Be careful sir! Naori are you good?
Naori: (Why is this happening, why me, what is going on?)
(When the taxi driver slows down, the van speeds up again trying to taunt them.)
(As they gradually reach the end of the bridge turning to the right, the van driver floors it and the engine speeds up towards the taxi, bumping into the rear harder continuously, he slows down for a while before picking up again, the taxi tries to speed up but is too late. He rams into the taxi rashly.)
Driver: Ah! Hold on!
(He tries to brake but the car won't stop, the van moves back a bit and then with full force, it completely rear ends the taxi, sending it forward. There is a slight loud squeal before a sound snap is heard. The warning on the dash signifying that the brakes of the taxi have failed.)
Zen: Look out!
(With one last push, the van runs into the taxi at a high speed into the bridge's guard rail on the final right turn. The taxi, disabled, flies up airborne for a few seconds. They are around 35 feet in the air.)
Naori: (Eh? Hold on... I don't want to die...)
(The car comes down with a loud bang down the mountain road, it rolls and tumbles, metal clangs and twists as it hits different obstacles and 12 seconds later, it lands upside down in the middle of the intersection completely destroyed. Onlookers panic at the sight of the accident they just witnessed.)
(Meanwhile, the van driver looks at the scene from the top on the mountain road. He radios in to the boss.)
Gentle push: It's done now, ain't no way anyone is alive from that.
Boss: Alright haha, good work. Now get outta there. We'll keep in touch later on (radios out.)
(He gets back in the van, reverses and drives off the opposite way.)
(Down at the crash site, onlookers rush to the taxi, they try to offer help to the victims of the accident, among these onlookers, Tokyo is also there.)
Tokyo: Wow, this accident was really that bad, it'll be a miracle to see if there are survivors.
(She gradually approaches the car while dialing an ambulance, upon reaching there, she looks down to see some pink hair and is shook with fear.)
Tokyo: It's a lie! (Covers her mouth in fear)
(Her phone slips out and falls, she slowly approaches, bends down to check the person, onlookers telling her to be careful.)
Tokyo: Naori! (She yells)
(Naori groans.)
(Tokyo gets frantic, she looks to the others to see the driver dead by impalement and the passenger beside him is unconscious.)
Tokyo: D-don't worry Naori, we'll get you out of this. Ahh!! (Yells) Help! Please someone call an ambulance, please!
(Tokyo looks around to see people trying to reach the emergency line.)
(Seven minutes later, an ambulance arrives with the police. They pry the door open and free the survivors as well as honor the dead driver for his hard work. Seconds later, they're both placed on a stretcher. Zen is wheeled away first into an ambulance while Tokyo remains oblivious that he was among the crash.)
Naori: (weakly) To...kyo chan?
Tokyo: Don't move Naori, you'll be fine... (crying) You'll be fine, I promise.
Naori: Hey sis (coughs up some blood), please listen...
(She struggles but tells Tokyo something in her ear and seconds later they're done with the conversation.)
Tokyo: I'll get to him, I promise (her voice trembling) we're gonna see you tonight Nao chan.
(Naori is strapped to a stretcher and wheeled away into the ambulance. She has a reassuring smile on her face, telling Tokyo she would survive this. Tokyo on seeing this decides to hurry to the destination they talked about.)
Tokyo: (Okazaki San, I hope you're home.)
(End.)
7.6
{7:30 pm that same night, the scene shift back to Obito's dorm and then his room.}
Baji: But seriously though, that is Obito for you lately. He's this quiet mophead that has a very big heart for his friends.
Obito: Who are you calling mophead?
Muichiro: Is he wrong though, I mean... It is long and your neck is thin. It's like a mop on a bobblehead haha.
(They all laugh at him jokingly for a bit.)
Obito: Ichinose San you too?
Asuka: (giggles) sorry, but it was quite funny.
Muichiro: Hey Obi kun, why not play some tunes for us on your guitar?
Baji: Exactly (urges him) think of it as your private tour with your biggest fans.
(Obito sighs.)
Obito: I don't have any song ready for tonight to play, plus (stretches) I'm a bit tired.
Muichiro: (teases) Boring dude, haha.
Baji: Right? Well then... (Picks the guitar) If you won't then I'll just do the entertainment myself (smiles.)
(Baji strums the guitar imitating Obito)
Baji: 2,3,4...
(He starts singing and strumming in a funny way.)
Baji: "I'm having a really nice day, really nice day, really nice day!!"
Muichiro: Tell em bro! (supporting Baji, clapping.)
(Asuka laughs at the both of them and commends Obito for having such great friends to keep at his side. He sighs and agrees happily calling them his "personal idiots")
(Baji strums a clumsy final note.)
Baji: Thank you Obito's room!
(Buster barks, wagging his tail.)
(Suddenly, there are footsteps heard hurrying to Obito's door. The person outside knocks frantically.)
Tokyo: (scared) Hello? Anyone? Please is this Okazaki senpai's room?
(There is silence for a while inside. They all wonder why the heavy knock and question.)
Obito: Who's there?
Tokyo: (frantic) Okazaki San, is that you? Please I know we haven't spoken much but please open up! It's important.
Obito: Who is–
Baji: Wait, hold on (recognises the voice talking, moves closer to the door) Cousin?
Tokyo: Baji?! Baji please convince him. It's an emergency! (Crying) Please.
Muichiro: She's your cousin?
Baji: Yeah.
(Baji opens the door, Tokyo hurries in, she hugs Baji while sobbing, he embraces his cousin trying to calm her down.)
Obito: Hey... so what's up? What's going on?
Tokyo: (still crying) There... There was an accident.
Obito: Accident? (confused) can you go deeper a bit?
Tokyo: Glen!
(Muichiro and Obito's breath hitch in unison and fear.)
Tokyo: Glen struck back Okazaki San, Muichiro kun (she cries with her body trembling.) Naori was involved in a car crash and is now hospitalised!!
(Muichiro stands up swiftly with anger and fear in his eyes.)
Muichiro: What hospital is she at?
Tokyo: Tokyo general Hospital, that's where the ambulance headed.
(Muichiro excuses himself ready to go to the hospital.)
Tokyo: (interjects) we can't use a car, there's a slow moving traffic jam so we won't make it in time.
Muichiro: Fuck, well we have to do something. (Rubs through his hair in anguish.)
Obito: Hey Mui kun.
Muichiro: Yeah?
Obito: Catch.
(He tosses his motorcycle keys to Muichiro, he points to the desk.)
Obito: My gloves and an extra helmet are in that drawer. You make sure you get to Naori fast.
(He opens the drawer and give the helmet to Tokyo, he takes the gloves.)
Muichiro: Thanks bro, I really owe you. Come on Tokyo.
(She takes the extra helmet and follows Muichiro)
Baji: Hey Tokyo.
(She freezes)
Baji: Please, be safe.
Obito: When you get there, let's have a video chat. I want to see Naori.
Tokyo: I will (sniffling).
(Downstairs at the students park, Muichiro starts the bike and Tokyo climbs on.)
Muichiro: Hold on.
(She grips his chest tightly, her big breasts resting on his back comfortably. He is flustered but doesn't give it a thought. With rage in his eyes, he focuses on getting to the hospital. Muichiro revs and pulls away from the dormitory. He speeds gently towards the hospital, cutting through the traffic jam cautiously.)
Muichiro: (Naori... Wait for me. Please, don't go... Not yet, not now please...) I'm almost there.
(He cries a bit but focuses harder on the ride. The bike speeds off into the horizon, shifting gears as the scene fades out.)
(End.)
