Yuto sat silently. It had been almost a week since he had spoken to either Yamada or shown his face to Rei. A strange but threatening fear had taken over his weak heart which now lay torn between a love at first sight and his best friend whom he loved so much.

The silhouette in front of him stood silently, amusingly twirling a camera in his hands. “Its still here?” Angry, Yamada looked up at the very familiar figure and bellowed. “YUTO!!!”
