Yoro's plan seemed simple enough, though she bashfully admitted to herself that it took her longer than she'd liked for her to catch on. Akira couldn't help but wonder what condition the pen would be in, and if it wasn't in decent form upon discovery there was no telling how Takahiro would've faired upon the school's nightly change. A shudder ran down Akira's spine as she grimaced at the resulting thought, but her thoughts were broken as everyone was ordered to travel together and dismissed until 11:30 that night.

Wait, everyone but Shiro and herself was dismissed. Great. She sullenly took her seat once more, still choosing to distract herself with her hands. It was crazy how she was managing her mood swings, fairing from bossy and commanding in the face of danger before resuming back to her quietly uncomfortable self. It was as if she didn't know what to make of herself, but then again, being around Shiro and seeing him fall apart in front of her had somehow pushed her to the far end of her own self. To be honest, it exhausted her, and she wanted nothing more to curl up with her banana wine that Youhei had purchased her to numb her mind a bit. All of this thinking was beginning to burn her out.
 
Fate was once again unkind in her eyes, and she took a moment to raise her eyes to briefly meet Yoro's before settling on Shiro's face, curious to see her friend's reaction. Maybe he'd be partial to skipping out on setting the pen and spending the evening with herself? She didn't want to be at the dorm building alone...and after all, Yoro did say to stick together. Well, maybe there'd be time after setting up Yoro's experiment to indulge herself. 

Oh, right, Yoro. He was in front of her. What was she supposed to say? An awkward "What do you need?" slipped past her lips rather bluntly, and she flushed at her tone. "I..I mean, how may I help, Yoro-kun?" She quickly added, hopeful that this would sweep away her first attempt at communicating with him. Akira couldn't help but hate how weird she was feeling, and she couldn't help but blame it on Shiro being present. But then again, why would Shiro being around make her feel weird? [i]'I can't do this right now. Just focus, I can deal with all this petty confusion later.'[/i] Akira chided towards herself, hoping she looked somewhat collected to her peers in front of her.
