Kawamoto Ren is uneasy after the phonecall with Kiyohira. Something is just not right. He can sniff it. Kiyohira is absolutely hiding something. He calls back. The call cannot be connected. He's even more suspicious.
Kiyohira definitely wanted someone else to hear what happened with Hashimoto Chisa. Then, who could it be other than Rie? Judging from his tone, there's no one else on the planet who can make Kiyohira speak like that. Ren knows Kiyohira for 5 long years. He knows him enough to know who can tick him off like that.
Ren is worried.
Why did Kiyohira ask him to clarify things?
She wouldn't think in the opposite direction, would she?
Did Rie believe him?
Kiyohira is with Rie right now!!!
In less than a minute, Ren has gone from zero to 100 on the scale of emotional turbulence, ending up sobbing to himself while missing his best friend. "Rie, I have no one who will play games with me. Please come back."
