||Lucas||
After the discovery at the noodle restaurant before, Lucas was unsure how to behave around Daphne. He kept second-guessing himself, afraid of annoying her even further. Disappointment overtook his anger.
On that night, Lucas didn't immediately leave the restaurant. He told Michael to go home first. Even though he was saddened by what he heard, Lucas was uneasy because Daphne was drunk.
Hiding outside the restaurant while standing in the cold, Lucas made a call to Daphne. It was answered after a few ringings. Her speech was a bit slurry.
"...oh, it's you..."
Lucas kept his gaze on the restaurant. He could barely see Daphne and her group of colleagues, obscured by the other patrons.
"Daphne, where are you? Do you need me to bring you home?"
"...no need... hic! My friends... bring me back..."
"But..."
Tut!
