Arth's pov
It's been a week after the killer attacked me and no cases of killings has been reported. I continued my job, investigating and police arrested some criminals and gamblers.
"Dearth-kun, I'm happy to see you again like that, you're so cheerful lately, huh!", Fravis said. "Oh, really? I'm just happy, that's all. But still, I need to find yume.", I smiled. "I see, but is there any hope to see her again? She's my little sister, after all.", He said and trying to smile. "I wish.", I smiled.
I saw someone from the outside, she here! "Excuse me but I need to do something, I'll be back!", I went out of the office. And she's there, waiting for me, "hi...", She waved at me. "What some drinks?", I asked. "Of course, I love to.", She smiled them we went to the cafe.
Fravis' pov
I followed him with my eyes, I can't see whom he's talking too. "I feel something suspicious on him lately.", Lake. He's fast! How did he- I looked at his room and back to him. "What do you think, fravis-san?", He asked with fingers on his chin rested on his arms. "I dunno yet but I'll try eyeing on him.", I exclaimed. "Okay. But we need to be careful.", He said and went back to his room. There's really something about that Yuri girl he's talking about. Maybe I sneaked out on them, I'm not busy right now so do I.
I went to the cafe and I know he will invite her in this place. I got in and try to hide myself and went closer with their conversation.
Dearth-kun: "So, how did you know where I'm working at?"
Yuri girl: "well, I was looking for names for my novels until I found your name on social media, so I'm here to surprise you."
Dearth-kun: "okay? Want some drink?"
Yuri girl: "just an orange juice."
Dearth-kun: "okay, I'll be right back."
Dearth-kun went to the cashier and I looked at that Yuri girl but I can't see her face. What the hell?! Then dearth-kun came back and went back hiding, opening the newspaper in front of me.
Dearth-kun: "Yuri? It's kinda embarrassing, but I have your phone number?", Stuttering.
Yuri girl: "oh sure. I'll take yours too."
They changed phones for they entered their number. Such a pathetic brat! What is he thinking?!
Dearth-kun: "well, thank you. My break's almost over, I need to go back. If you mind, I'll leave you here."
Yuri girl: "sure, I'll be out sooner or later."
Dearth-kun said his goodbye and headed outside. I have to go too but I can't see her.
I headed back on my seat, dearth-kun was really happy. Smiling on his own when we looked at his phone, such a wierdo.
Arth's pov
I'm so happy, I already have her phone number. What should I say if I got home. Fravis looked at me, raised eyebrow, "hmm?". Me. "You're acting really wierd and look at yourself, you're smiling facing your phone!?", He groaned. "but it's like normal for me.", I said. "What?!", Him. "What? didn't I do anything wrong?", I asked. "Nothing? oh really? just leave her now. Starting today, you'll gonna ignore her, got that?", He said seriously. "I'm fvckin' serious here, dearth. look, you're like a little brother for me. I lost my little sister for years and I don't want to lose you too, please?", He begged. My eyes widened and looked at his, he seems to be lonely. I do really miss her and I still love her, Yuri came but I'll liked her as a friend, don't I? I don't know what it feels but she's like yume.
._-*-_.
I got home and layed on my bed. His words make me annoying, it keeps repeating on my mind. I looked at my phone and scrolled over Facebook. I'm so bored so I locked my phone and closed my eyes.
I got up from my back then I looked at my clock on my desk and it's exactly 1'oclock in my morning. My heart's pounding so fast and I can't breathe. My phone rang so I opened it up,
"Arth, sorry to interrupt but we heard a shotgun near the hospital."
It's lake, so i hurriedly on my feet and left the door closed and took my keys and phone.

Lake and fravis are here along with the troop and the police. "Why the hell happened?", I asked when I'm on the bodies, examining the crime scene. "Any evidences found?", I asked. They shook their heads as a no. I checked the pockets and took the wallet. As usual, he's one the notorious gambler as I identified him on his cards. He was killed from the inside, she came again. So I commanded to search everywhere especially gamblers, that's her targets but why's she wants to kill me too. Did someone controlled her to kill me, but she acts like she wanted to. I jumped on my feet when somebody throw his hand on my shoulder. "Arth, are you okay? You're mumbling.", Lake asked. "Oh, sorry!", I laughed awkwardly. "Are you sure?", He asked to confirm. "Yeah.", I nodded.
The police took the body and cleared the scene. They went home but fravis didn't talked to me, maybe I made him mad. I jumped on a high building and feel the morning breeze. Watching the sunrise and lighten around all the surroundings.
I jumped down and I headed home. I cooked some bacon and eggs for breakfast. After I've finished cleaning the dishes, I went back to my room to take a bath and brushed my teeth then get dressed.
I took my phone and i wanted to text Yuri but I hesitated, fravis' words got on my mind again so I didn't. I'm about to put it on my phone, it vibrated. "Hello? Who's this?", I asked. "Hello, arth, it's me, Yuri. How do you do?", I sighed for relief. "I'm fine, I just haven't enough rest.?", I said. "Oh, I see. Try to take some vitamins, it'll help you.", She recommended. "Sure, thanks, Yuri, sorry if I made you worried.", I said. "It's alright, I just want to help.", She said. "Thank you, I have to go to work.", I said. "Okay! Bye, just be careful.", She said and I replied with a "bye!" And I hanged up. Let's get to work!
