Chapter 5 - Act 1- Someone

As the night passes and the morning arrives, Rumika can't take it anymore.

She decides to go on a walk, in one of her favourite parks, to ease her head... after all that happened.

Rumika sits on a small bench, head in her hands, sighing. 

"Fuck... what am i gonna do now..."

Then, someone approaches. 

"Miss, are you okay?"

As Rumika looks up, she sees a pair of Siren twins.

Their faces were beautiful. So beautiful not even words could describe them... The female Siren had a more serious vibe, crossing her arms while frowning, while the Male seemed more gentle and outgoing. 

Rumika flinches, not because of the sudden question, but because she never had a really good relationship with Sirens.

The male sits next to her, smiling.

"Need emotional support?" 

"No, thank you.."- Rumika frowns.

"See, Takeshi? I told you. You're just waisting your time." - The female snorts.

The male shoots her a glare, then looks back at Rumika.

"I can see that you're sad. You don't have to tell me what it is, but WE can keep you company until you're better, if you'd like!"

"Who's we??"

"We, as in me," - The male points at himself - "and you." - Then points at the female.

Before she could say anything, Takeshi turns back to Rumika. 

"I am Takeshi, and that grumpy ass over there is Takemi. Now we're not strangers anymore, right?"

Rumika seemed to soften somewhat. They didn't seem like bad people.

"Mn... i guess. I'm Rumika." 

Takeshi smiles. 

"Good! Need anything to cheer you up? A coffee, maybe?"

"That sounds good..." - She sighs - "Sorry for bothering you.. and for my attitude. There's a lot going on" 

"Don't worry about it. We all have been there. You don't have to talk about it if you want."

He softens, getting up. 

"Then, lets go! I know a good café around here. Do you like aesthetic places?"

"Takeshi, stop being overly friendly with strangers..." - Takemi frowned.

"Shush. I'm not the one who's socially awkward. At least i do good deeds."

Rumika chuckles. Their bantering was somehow funny. Yeah, they were being mean to each other, but it was clear they didn't mean it. The love they had for each other was clear in their little actions towards each other.

Takeshi looks back at Rumika, smiling. 

"Looks like i could get a smile out of you."
