It wasn’t long before Hamada followed him out of the room and back into the safe hallway, though he had mixed feelings about the rejection to his offer that she gave after. On one hand, he was both hungry and bored, and wouldn’t mind a female’s company to a restaurant for once. But… his wallet and mind said that it would’ve ended in disaster. There were plenty of fish in the sea to eat and even more things to do so Sato decided to react indifferently to the response, giving her a shrug to portray that feeling. She continued on to detail that she had business to attend to and that a lengthy discussion on classical literature— he didn’t doubt that it’d be about Shakespeare— would be the only adequate way to repay her.

Sato considered attempting to scrounge up his incredibly limited knowledge of “classical literature” and try to talk about it, but before he could even make up his mind about it, Hamada dismissed him with a heartless wave and started off in a direction opposite to him, but she stopped a little down the hall when a girl he didn’t recognize interrupted her to ask something that Sato couldn’t sufficiently hear. Sato assumed it to be another drama geek (which he himself was now branded as) inquiring about something in relation to the club, and he decided to leave before anyone else dragged him off to get manhandled by school staff, walking past the two girls to get back to the main building.

	Though, just as he took a step past them, he caught an interesting bit from their conversation: “[i]You know Noboru, right? He auditioned for your club, and well, word’s gone out that he’s disappeared.[/i]” It took him a moment to process the name, but Sato recalled Noboru as the short and fit guy that he had met a week ago. The guy had auditioned along side him and everyone else, and hadn’t done bad at all. The two didn’t necessarily click well but Noboru didn’t seem half-bad from the limited amount of time he had spent with him. There wasn’t any reason for Sato to care for some underclassman he barely knew though, so Sato merely took a few steps further away from the girls to avoid looking awfully suspicious as he churned the information in his head.

	He decided to listen in on the girls’ conversation a bit further, looking at his phone as if someone texted him as a guise. The girl he didn’t know continued: “[i]Before you say that you haven't seen anything or heard anything, do you know someone who might?[/i]” It only then struck him that the girl was trying to find answers from Hamada as she was one of the only people who would have a chance of knowing beyond Noboru’s family and close friends. It wasn’t like he could do anything about the situation anyway, so Sato shoved his phone back into his pocket before making his way to the main building, away from the two’s conversation.

	The third-year stopped himself when he exited the front doors, letting out a long sigh as he looked at the gates for no reason. He didn’t feel like doing anything, but he didn’t want to not do anything. More likely he didn’t want to think about anything and instead just let off steam after the shitty day he went through. Classes were more boring than usual even though their day was shorter on Saturday, then he got socked by a friend, and Leiko Hamada dragged him off to the expectedly creepy nurse for a while. Unsure of what he wanted to do, Sato slid down the wall next to the doors until he was in a sitting position and pulled out his phone, idly checking social media, texts, and what not. He knew he had to leave school grounds soon but at least he could kill time and decide on what to do until then.
