As HT1 was almost by the entrance, he heard a familiar voice and stopped right there. The voice came from behind him and as he turned, he couldn't believe who it was he saw at that very moment.
Instead of one, there were three of them and all three had worried expressions on their faces. One of them spoke, and said, " Were you planning to leave us, seriously?"
The one who spoke was his best friend, Aki. Aki had been with him for years, so he couldn't believe that his best friend would simply leave him like that without even taking the time to say goodbye. He was flabbergasted and hurt all over.
HT1 felt pained by his friend's words and instantly dropped the bag he was holding. Instead of answering his question, the latter asked in replacement, " How did you know I was here?"
Saddened, Aki responded, " So, it's true, then?" I couldn't believe it when Akira told me everything."
" What?" What are you talking about?"
