"Hi, Ronin." I greet him politely as

  I enter the mansion and remove

  my shoes.

  I notice Tetsuya's shoes as well,

  looking around to see if I can

  spot him right away.

  Normally Tetsuya is always

  here to greet me when I

  enter his home.

  "Were you both able to

  solve that homework

  question?" I asks

  Ronin.

  Ronin analyzes me with

  his red eyes.

  Whenever I would come

  to visit Tetsu on various

  occasions,

  Ronin's eyes looked the way

  they did now yet the

  charming smile wasn't

  so evident.

  I just thought Ronin was

  the quiet and serious

  type.

  "We ended up taking

  a small break."

  Ronin simply says,

  walking up the

  stairs.

  I follow suit, feeling

  the cold air along with

  a chill that runs down

  my spine.

  Slight unhappiness

  festers itself in my

  gut yet I shake it

  off,

  paying it no mind.
