After having reported to Shen, Ro-kun and Ayu left the Moshi mansion.
Ro-kun drove Ayu home before went back himself.
They drove in silence. The atmosphere between the two was strange. Both were introverted workaholics devoted to their work and their boss. They didn't interact very much personally.
Ever since Ro-kun had confronted Ayu about her feelings towards Lina, their relationship had become even more strained.
Ayu tried to hide her franticness and her anxiety when Shen called them and ordered them to try track her somehow.
She could have been dead today. It sent shivers down Ayu's back.
Ro-kun dropped Ayu off at the front of her apartment complex. Before she got off the car, Ro-kun grabbed her hand.
As she turned to look at him, he had a complicated expression on his face.
She scanned his face, the scar above his eyes, his rugged jawline and strong grip.
"What is it?"
He didn't say anything for a few moments.
"Ayu...get some rest. Don't think about her."
