Even though it was only a half day, Noboru was still tired. He hadn't gotten much of the lesson, though that wasn't new. Like every other school day, Noboru couldn't learn much of it at all. Walking his short body around the classroom, He spotted a girl with dark black hair out of the corner of his eye. She was taller than him, like everyone else he knew. But despite that she was a little like he was. She enjoyed making friends, but was definitely better at it than he was. He walked up to her and spoke to her. "Heeeeyyyy Sachiko-san, I don't know if you're much of a video game person, but i'm headed over to the arcade right now. If you wanna join me, it'd be fun. Cya later if you want to go to it." Noboru hustled out of the door, quickly walking out of the school into town.

Approaching what most would call an arcade, Noboru stepped inside. Today he had decided to relax at the arcade. He needed a break from working out and a break from his house. He stepped inside. he didn't visit this place very often, but it had a very home-ish feel, in that he was actually accepted here and not just some random person. Noboru wandered around, looking at all the machines. He meandered around until he saw a familiar face. The face belonged to a childhood friend, Rui. They were somewhat friends when they were younger, but he had moved away and Noboru was one friend less. Walking up to him, Noboru called out his name. "Rui! I haven't seen you in forever!" Noboru grabbed Rui and gave him a bear hug, squishing him and giving the friend no time to reply without being swept up in an all too friendly hug.
