"Has anything strange happened"
"Well a junior disappeared, but, didn't you know him Chiaki"
Scrunching her face, Chiaki sipped some more of her drink before answering. Looking away with a sudden distaste in her mouth, she hesitantly spoke about him.
"Y-yeah, me and Noboru-kun are pretty good friends, most of the time, after school, we go for a run through town. He hasn't been around recently, so I decided to do some extra running today. Which is how I ended up here in the first place... Haha..." Chiaki looked at her drink. She started to become a little depressed. She looked to her left, then to her right, just to see if anybody else was listening in.
"Here's what I know..." Chiaki began to explain the events that had happened before Noboru disappeared. This included the harassment from his siblings, and the incident at the Idol club. Whilst she was talking, there was an obvious sad tone to her voice and expression. She still hadn't dealt with what happened properly, he disappeared before they could talk again, before they could reconcile.
"Yes, so after the shirt malfunction in the Idol club, I ran home, I was too embarressed, I got this text a little later.
-Chiaki Showed them her phone, with the message from Noboru, pointing at the time and date-
But its the last time I had any contact with Noboru since then. His brother bumped into me about a day ago, talking about how Noboru had run away. If that were true, I'm sure they would have found him by now... Something else must have happened... Its a little scary." Chiaki looked at her drink, stirring it listlessly.
"I hope he's okay. I don't think Noboru is the type of guy to run away. He's the "Tough Guy" type"
