Masaru, now suddenly finding herself bewildered, shot a glance to this strange boy, then hidden alleyway's entrance and back to the boy again. The girl's eyebrows were clearly furrowed, baffled at some of the puzzling words he had just uttered, and uneasy with whatever he had in store to show. Where the hell was this guy leading her?
