(8:15pm)
{The scene shifts over to the night mood in Shibuya, the scene is a typical night in the city with a lively atmosphere and night vibes.}
(Meanwhile, at the back of Segway six, Muichiro and the plug are having a smoke session in the alleyway.)
Muichiro: Bro(laughs).
Plug: (looks at him, smirks).
Muichiro: Brooooo(slowly laughing).
Plug: (laughs in amusement) yo, dude, you can't even last a whole joint, how is that even possible haha? You're like the weakest stoner I ever did see hehehe.
Muichiro: (slowly) Huh, throw a pigeon from a tree? Bro you're cruel(brushes him off playfully.)
Plug: Pigeon... Tree..(snickers) what? Bro how did I even find you?
(They both laugh while talking and hitting the joint.)
Plug: By the way bro, who am I about to meet and deliver to?
Muichiro: Don't worry about that. Obi kun is a bit of an intriguing dude(drags, exhales), but I promise you, he's really cool. Heck he stands stronger than me in this shit.
Plug: Bro, girls last longer than you haha.
(Just then, an engine hum gradually approaches them, revving gently.)
Muichiro: Ah, caveman is here..
Plug: Caveman?? (how many nicknames does he have?)
(Obito gradually pulls up to Segway six alley and turns off the motorcycle.)
Muichiro: Yo Obi!!(grins uncontrollably.)
(He approaches Obito, the plug follows cautiously.)
Obito: What's up bro, I'm not late right?
Muichiro: Nah, nah bro. He's still here. This is the plug I get the stuff from.
(Mui pulls the plug carelessly while still high.)
Plug: Ngh! easy Mui! Come on. Yunno I can't be so open here. (Whispers) We're not at the car meet bro.
Muichiro: Right, right, sorry bro.
Obito: (stares a bit)What's up bro?
Plug: Yo dude. So what you need?
(The transaction and exchange commences, Muichiro observes, although barely understands his surroundings.)
Obito: So this is what did that to him?
Plug: Yup, well... no actually, Mui kun here is just hopelessly weak against the good stuff haha.
Obito: (scoffs, laughs to himself) Oh, so I'm not the only one that sees it....
Plug: By the way bro (moves over to Obito's bike) This baby looks pretty good! What brand is it?
Obito: Oh, that's a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, it's a newer model.
Plug: Nice dude..(observes the body of the bike) hey, have you ever thought of drag racing at night around these parts?
Obito: Drag racing?(Little confused, lights his joint, inhales) Well... Muichiro has told me about it, I turned him down on the offer once(exhales.)
Plug: Hey, It's not my place to make decisions bro but for one, I'd recommend you try racing once. You seem to have some experience because having this calibre of a bike is no joke dude, it's thousand cc engine right?
Obito: Yeah it does(snickers) it's kinda heavy too.
Plug: All in all, this is some serious power it's got. Why not come to the grid sometime?
Obito: I'm not as good as Muichiro is on a motorcycle, (looks to Muichiro being mellow) bro has more experience than me, his dad loved bikes but made some choices to keep something better to him. Muichiro over here decided to keep it like a heritage for himself, makes me kinda jealous he loves the fast life.
(He slightly reconsiders the idea for a bit and smiles.)
Obito: Maybe I'll come down to the meet sometime with him.
Plug: (impressed) that's it bro, express all those feelings the best way possible, racing brings freedom with every feel of speed, you don't need to overdo it, you just need to have fun.
Obito: Thanks man(they shake hands and Obito enjoys some more time while getting stoned, the weather is windy a bit.)
(9:00pm)
Obito: (high)Yo bro, thanks for this, really helped out tonight. But now I gotta leave before I get lost in thought haha.
Plug: (high)No problem, hit Muichiro up if you need another stack my man.
Obito: Yo Muichiro, you need a lift?
Muichiro: (stoned) Huh.. lift? ain't no lift bro, it's called an elevator!
(Obito and the plug laugh, Muichiro laughs with them.)
Muichiro: For real bro, maybe drop me off at my place.
Plug: I gotta bounce too(gets up to leave), I'll call my ride to pick me up. Take care bros.
(He waves, they wave back, Muichiro and Obito ride on Obi's bike back to Muichiro's dorm.)
Muichiro: Alright bro, I'll see you tomorrow.
Obito: yeah man(revs his engine).
Muichiro: By the way, you have that block party with Naori tomorrow right(slightly sober, serious but with a playful tone.)
Obito: Yeah... I'll be going with her(looks at him for a bit.)
Muichiro: Is that right?... (Silence) Well, you guys have fun. Especially you bro. Ride safe!
Obito: Thanks man, see you later.
(He rides off to his hostel, Muichiro sees him off and stands in front of his dorm for a while.)
(The scene fades as he quietly walks to his room.)
Muichiro: (Naori...)
(End.)
5.2
{Thursday morning, the weather is bright and windy a bit signaling a pleasant day.}
(8:25am, Obito is awake, although seems to be a bit groggy.)
Obito: God I'm tired...(Scratches his messy hair and yawns.)
(looks to Buster at the other end.)
Obito: Hey Buddy, you're up too huh?
(Buster barks!)
Obito: (smirks, looks back) Thursday huh... usually I'm free on all Thursdays this semester.
(He checks his phone for updates, sees nothing too important.)
Obito: Oh yeah(looks up weakly) Tonight's the block party Naori invited me to... guess I'll ring her up to know about her plans ahead of time.
(Phone beeps! He checks to see a message from Muichiro.)
Muichiro: (No classes!!)
Obito: Well.. its confirmed then.
(Phone rings!)
Obito: Hello
Naori: Hello dear Gloomlord! Have you woken from the graveyard?
Obito: Very funny Naori... Maybe next time I'll pick the decline button
Naori: (Laughs a bit) Sorry sorry, so yeah... I wanted to let you know that I'll be having a few classes till 2pm today. Are you coming down to school?
Obito: Nah, nah. I don't have classes today.
Naori: Ohh(sighs) I won't get to see my cute senpai till later today. (teases)Makes me a bit sad.
Obito: (groans) why does everyone call me cute?? It's annoying.
Naori: It's what you are Gloomlord senpai.
Obito: Well... (quietly) I think... You're kinda cute too.
Naori: (embarrassed) Ahh, don't say corny things like that over the phone!!
Obito: I'm sorry(scoffs into a little laugh) I'll see you later okay.
Naori: S-see you later, and wear a jacket tonight gloomlord senpai(giggles, hangs up.)
Obito: well then, I–
(Phone rings!)
Obito: Aah!! It's to early for... Oh! It's Iori(picks up) what's up sis?
Iori: Heyo Obi kun, how are you doing?
Obito: I'm good, How is your session in Kyoto?
{Scene shifts over to Iori on a staircase, she is holding a stick and tapping the ground like she's playing with it.}
Iori: I-i'm fine(stammers), Kyoto is great, h-how are things over at Shibuya?
Obito: Things are... Calm.(Wonders) Sis are you okay?
Iori: Hahaha(forced) is little Obito worried about me?
Obito: Well you kinda sound a bit stressed. Is it cold there?
Iori: No no no, it's fine Obi kun, I'm fine. I just called to say hi to you.
Obito: O-oh?
Iori: (looks sad, smiles through) By the way, I wanted to let you know that the trip got shortened to six weeks, so I might be coming back to school earlier than expected.
Obito: Oh okay, that's great.
Iori: (softly) I miss you, Obito...
Obito: You just left on Monday...
Iori: So what, (teases)can't I miss my cute little brother?
Obito: Stop calling me cute Iori(groans, exhales, scoffs)well then, i guess you can, I miss you too sis..
(Iori smiles gently.)
Iori: Well, I'll leave you now and call back soon again, take care of yourself okay?
Obito: I will, bye now sis.
Iori: Bye.(Hangs up)
(Iori wears a downcast expression, she sits on the stairs and seems to cover up something on her arm with her dress.)
Iori: I'm sorry Obito,(a tear drops from her eye) it seems I'd have to still lie to you a bit.
(End.)
5.3
{It's 2:30pm, Obito is in his room, he seems to be tuning on his manuscript and practicing a new song on his guitar as he strums quietly between scribbling.}
Obito: Hmm, this song sounds so good honestly, but(spins his pencil) I want to try changing how it sounds. It's kinda too high pitched for me. Maybe I could just...
(He tweaks the tune of the sound, jotting and scribbling musical notes on his manuscript)
Obito: Nice! (Looks at it contented) looks like I could practice effectively now(picks up guitar)
1... 2... (tummy grumbles, he sighs) Of course.
(After a few minutes, it grumbles again.)
Obito: How though... I just ate some hours ago
(He looks to see his little cup of noodles he trashed earlier.)
Obito: Although, how was I thinking that could be enough? (Sighs) Well, off to the store I guess... There's nothing I really want to eat in here, might as well get some extra stuff.
(He changes his outfit, picks his keys and opens the door.)
Obito: I'll be right back bud(closes the door)
(Buster barks)
(Obito walks downstairs to his motorcycle and starts it, he gradually moves out to a restaurant nearby. Meanwhile, our new tenant from before watches him through the window and smiles, seemingly confirming something. They walk off quietly to their room.)
(During the ride.)
Obito: (What do I even want to get? I'm just hungry without a plan... Anyway, let's see what's on the menu.)
(He rides to the pastry shop around the city side where Naori works part time and parks. He stands outside the store for a bit, ties his hair and contemplates his actions for a bit.)
Obito: Uhh... Is it weird that I know she's working at this time but still came anyway?(Scratches his head and walks in)
(Inside the store, the crowd isn't too much, music plays gently in the background and he is slightly relieved about that, he walks to the counter.)
Obito: Good afternoon.
Male cashier: Welcome sir! How may I help you today?
Obito: I'd like to get some cream croissants and a lemonade.
Male cashier: Okay sir, please wait while we prepare your order.
(Obito moves to sit down among the sparsely occupied store, he observes.)
Obito: Business looks kinda slow today here(looks around gently) maybe it's cos of the party or this place isn't occupied much till later... (shrugs) What do I know?
(Meanwhile at the counters desk, the cashier goes into the staff room.)
Male Cashier: Naori, we have a new order.
Naori: Oh, okay... Finally some business. (Stands up and prepares the order while preparing the lemonade.)
Naori: By the way Zen, are you coming down for the party at the next block?
Zen: I might, I heard some dancers are gonna be there, (swoons)one of them is my favourite female dancer, oh! I've been watching her for some two years everywhere now and she seems to be more perfect with each dance step and event.
Naori: (Isn't that a form of stalking?!) Just don't be weird about it.
Zen: You really wanna call me weird huh(looks at her coyly, giggles.)
Naori: (triggered) What?!
Zen: (shrugs) Nothing..(laughs)
Naori: (readies her fist while holding his collar playfully.) Come out with it! Why are you laughing at me?
Zen: Alright, alright I'm sorry, you're just like a little girl when you're upset, it's kinda cute.
Naori: (pouts) you don't qualify to call me cute, Hmph!!(Folds her arms.) By the way, who came around to make an order, is the person familiar?
Zen: Uhh(rummaging through some information.) I think I've seen him around once or twice. I don't really talk to them much like the others or you. Though I think you know him, he's a guy with that really nice black and green motorcycle.
Naori: Obito senpai!(wait Obito kun? Why's he here now, what was his order again?)
(She slowly turns to Zen with tears in her eyes.)
Naori: Zen kun(teary)
(He looks at her.)
Naori: I forgot the order...
(Zen looks at the lemonade machine, looks at the croissants being warmed and looks back at her, he smiles menacingly.)
Zen: Me too.
Naori: (defeated) I hate you, Zen kun. From today on we go to our dorm separately.
Zen: (we live in the same dormitory) I'm kidding(he smiles), he asked for warm croissants and some lemonade. Why don't you go give it to him.
Naori: Sure(she prepares the order and is about to go deliver, she stops.)
Naori: By the way Zen, I know you've been trying to avoid it but... Why won't you let Tokyo Chan know how you feel. You care about her right?
Zen: (sighs) Tokyo, Tokyo(mind flashes to her smile, he smiles at the thought) The reason is i don't... Or rather, I just feel she doesn't want to be involved in relationships now. We all see how she moves freely and talks to everyone the same way casually, even me. I just don't know if I'm that special to her the way I see it. I feel I'm part of everybody... even during our private times in each others rooms.
Naori: Zen kun...(pats his shoulder) I think you should at least let her know how you feel. If I'm being honest, she tells me about her times with you and usually has a smile on her face when this happens. She looks happy during those times so why not try? You don't know how long she's going to keep looking your way, if you miss it, she might change her audience even if it hurts... It'll mean she has moved on by then. We really don't know how long we have in life.
(Zen sighs.)
Zen: When did you get so philosophical all of a sudden(stares at her jokingly.)
Naori: Oh, Aah!! J-just take my advice okay!(Pouts, folds her arms) It's not like I plan to help you everytime.
Zen: (She's so cute when she's upset, kinda like a puppy.) I'll try talking to her to her tonight.
Naori: Just be yourself, Tokyo is an amazing person, you'll be okay(smiles, runs off).
(End)
5.4
{20 minutes later, still at the pastry shop, Obito is wondering what is going on and why it's taking so long. The environment seems to be busier now with people and transportation moving to various places.}
Obito: All I wanted was fast food and I ended up here... Somehow I still haven't left yet, I hope Buster's good, I should've given him a little more snacks before I came here... Though I didn't think it'll be this long.
(Footsteps approach his direction while he uses his phone and waits.)
Naori: Hi senpai.(smiles to him)
Obito: That was quick(teases slightly), what happened back there?
Naori: Uhh... (Flashes to when she forgot the order.) We had a little technical problem.
Obito: Uhh..
Naori: Anyway senpai, can I join you?
Obito: Won't that affect you? ...they'll call you out on talking to customers on the job.
Naori: You're not just any customer though, (muffled)it's not like I sit down with other customers too. It's also a slow day.
Obito: Fine fine, you can sit. Be my guest Nao chan(smiles at her gently.)
(Naori smiles subtly and sits. She gives him his order and they're silent for a bit before Naori speaks.)
Naori: Senpai, how was your day so far?
Obito: My day... It has been okay, I'm a bit stuck on a song I've been trying to learn for a while...
Naori: Yunno senpai, if this wasn't just a party, I could've signed you up to play a live performance to everyone(giggles.)
Obito: On that day, I would know that you never liked me(laughs), I hate stage fright more than anything else.
Naori: I know, but that's the fun part of it haha.
(Obito scowls and opens his order to eat.)
Obito: Would you like one?
Naori: (embarrassed) Ahh.. eh..., Yes, I don't mind one if it's okay.
Obito: (gives her a croissant) if it's okay? Why do you feel it won't be okay?
Naori: Thank you(collects it.) Senpai...
Obito: Hm?
Naori: What made you... pick up the guitar and play?
Obito: (puzzled) why did you ask?
Naori: (cautious) ah, sorry for asking!! But, it's just that, even as I know you play very well on it, I haven't actually heard you play before... I just thought... Well sometimes, I wished I could hear you play(maybe even for me personally.)
Obito: I picked up the guitar in third year middle school. It was one of the ways I felt I could communicate how I felt no matter how bad I was at it.(Looks outside) At that time, I was still going through a rough time at school, and safety seemed to wander off disinterested in my motives... (Staring at the lemonade) See, I sought for friends in a place full of foes... I got bit badly, embarrassed daily and ridiculed among my classmates then.
Naori: Is that when you changed?
Obito: (hesitates) Yes. The moment I chose to move down a different path, I decided to find solace in music rather than people. I bought a guitar and made sure it didn't go to waste. Practicing was a struggle, my fingers would peel and blister from the strings... But I didn't let it stop me. I wanted to reintroduce myself in a different way(clenches his fist) ...i chose not to listen to anyone again.
Naori: Senpai(smiles), you've gotten softer overtime though(reaches over and pats his head.)
Obito: (slowly)Softer?
Naori: Yeah, when I initially knew you, you didn't even want to spend two seconds with me. You've been here for sometime now, with each passing day, it seems you're willing a bit more to open up to someone.
Obito: Well um... It's not like I intend to though.
Naori: (giggles) don't fight it though, if you find the right people or person, it's a really good thing to express it to them.
Obito: Naori...
Naori: Yes?
Obito: You're still patting my head.
Naori: (flushed red, slowly removes her hand) I should get back to work now.(Gets up to leave.)
Obito: I had fun over this conversation, thank you Naori(smirks to her.)
Naori: It-its just what I would say to a friend, nothing personal okay?! (blushes, walks off fast; I'm here for you Obi kun, anytime you want.)
Obito: Hey Naori(walks to her) I'll pick you up at 6, is that okay?
Naori: Yeah, Thank you once again(walks of happily.)
(Obito pays and leaves the pastry shop to his dorm for preparation.)
(End.)
5.5
{It's 6:30 pm, Obito is leaving his dorm and ready to pick Naori up for the party. The weather is a calm evening, mostly quiet where the dorm is. He starts and moves off.}
(While riding)
Obito: (I really hope there won't be any problems in this party stuff, also... I'm kinda wondering what Naori would wear...(Fantasizes) Maybe a nice attractive gal look..., she does have a nice body. Or... Maybe black casual?... (Flashes back, shakes his head) What the fuck am I thinking about? Clearly... We are not like that.)
(He moves down to her dorm, getting there, Naori is waiting on the bench in front of her dorm. She looks beautiful dressed in a stylish white sleeveless top and blue cargo pants.)
Obito: Oh... (Wow!)
Naori: (irked) What?
Obito: Oh uh... Nothing.
Naori: I knew it... I look bad right? Maybe I'll change the shirt–
Obito: No no, you look really good Naori. I was just shocked a bit more.
Naori: (flustered; I shocked him!?) well... It was my plan after all(boasts happily.)
Obito: Right...(kinda worked actually). Are you ready to go?
Naori: Yeah, let's go.
(Obito leads her to the bike, starts and moves off to the event.)
(A few minutes later, they arrive at the dorm organizing the party, the scene is lively with students around, there are snack bars, drinks and the ambiance is very lively with upbeat music.)
Obito: (looks in observation) So this is a block party huh?
Naori: Yeah, I'm quite shocked that it's already this packed, well Gloomlord senpai, it's time to see your fun side, don't you think(nudges to him.)
Obito: (scoffs) you say it like I'm completely zero fun.
Naori: You act like you're zero fun.(giggles)
Obito: Rude!
Naori: Haha, anyway let's go in, I bet it's more interesting inside the dorm. Come on Senpai(running in gleefully, Obito walks gently behind.)
Obito: (She does look happy though...)
(Naori enters the dorm where the party is livelier and scans the environment with glee and interest, gently looking for activities to engage in.)
Naori: Hey Senpai, I wanna go get a drink, do you want one too?
Obito: Sure, I won't mind one.
(She heads down the aisle but is distracted by a few of her friends. Obito watches but shrugs it off with a smile. Seconds later, he heads upstairs towards the balcony.)
(15 minutes later...)
Obito: (God I'm bored, kinda wanna go home but I can't do that, she seems really into it.)
Plug: Yo Obi kun( he approaches Obito from a close distance.)
Obito: Hey bro, wassup.
A
(They exchange handshakes.)
Obito: Wait? Why you here though?
Plug: I had a delivery prior and I got invited to try getting some "service" here haha(snickers.)
Obito: I hear ya(smirks)
(The plug pulls out a rolled joint and offers Obito, he collects and sparks it up.)
Obito: Ooh(exhales) this is even heavier than the one of the last time.
Plug: (laughs gently) I like to mix it up a little.
Obito: Nice, hey umm... (Inhales the joint) How did you know Muichiro anyway?
Plug: Uh..., I won't exactly say I knew him directly haha(scratches his head, flashes back) I remember one time I was just walking around a casual car and bike meet one night and I heard word spread around of a younger dude laying down new titles on the strip.
Obito: Titles, you mean like wins and stuff?
(Passes over the joint, plug inhales.)
Plug: (exhales) yeah bro, he really was giving it to em. Before long, he walked up to me and wanted to get supplied, that's how we caught up. After that, we've been talking and catching up almost daily.
Obito: Ohh, so Muichiro really does night races?
Plug: Does? Bro, that dude wins races. To me, he is the challenge on the grid! There's a particular bike this dude rode one time, it's not his though but bro... This dude was able to wheelie that bike at a fairly high speed. I think it was a... Suzuki... Hayabusa?
(Passes over.)
Obito: Yoo, isn't that a heavy bike?
Plug: Really heavy bro, Mui kun is no ordinary racer my dude. Wait how old is he though?
Obito: Oh Mui? Mui kun is... Umm(thinking) I think he's 19? Yeah... 19.
Plug: He doesn't even act 19 bro, he seems way older. That dude ain't ordinary(laughs.)
Obito: (snickers) I guess that's Muichiro for you. (Now I kinda want him to get a bike... Maybe we could race one time.)
(Just then, there seems to be some commotion downstairs. Students seem to gather to the scene where Naori is being harassed.)
Naori: (angrily)Let me go Glen! I told you already. I'm not interested in dancing with you.
Can't your brain understand that?!
Glen: Come on Naori chan, you don't need to pretend. It's just one dance.
(He tightens his grip, Naori flinches.)
Naori: (irritated)You fucking pervert.
Glen: Ahh, Naori personally called me a pervert(touches himself weirdly) this makes me so tingly, so recognized. I feel so honored!
Naori, The plug, Obito: (what is wrong with this damn idiot!?)
Glen: Now... Naori chan, can we have a nice time together(smiles at her)
(Glen squeezes her wrist a bit more
Naori: Ow (flinches) Glen you're hurting me. Let go, you damn idiot!
Glen: Shut up you stupid bitch! (Rages)You belong to me. You and I have know that for so long but you keep pretending just to make me chase you more...(Swoons weirdly) Such a daring girl, don't worry anymore, I won't let anyone have you.
Naori: pretend... chase... Ahh dude(pissed off) fucking leave me alone, you're irritating me.
(The crowd begins to jeer at Glen, trying to get him to leave with his possessive vibe, Glen snaps back at them.)
Glen: You fools, stay out of this, you don't even know what we feel for eachother(laughs) till the end of time, Naori will be mine!(Laughs menacingly.)
Obito: But... Dude, she doesn't even want to be around you.
(Silence ensues)
Glen: Who said that?( Looks around gradually) Who among you stupid lot said those stupid words?
Obito: I did. (Walks slowly towards him) She doesn't want you or want to be around you. Can't you accept it?
Glen: Who are you?
Obito: (shrugs) Like everyone else, I'm a guest... or I could be a member of this dorm, Can't exactly say if it matters. But now...(holds Naori's hand) I'm in charge of what happens to Naori.
Naori: (relieved) Senpai..
Glen: Dude just be respectful and fuck off, you're nothing to her and me.
Obito: You're wrong, YOU bro are Nothing to her. Stop trying to find love where it's completely non existent.
Glen: (Frustrated)Leave her alone!! She's mine!!(Pulls her forcefully)
Naori: Aah!(Scared) Obi kun.
Obito: (I've had enough) Dude!(Sternly) Leave Naori alone.
Glen: (scoffs, laughs) Or wh–
(Obito lands a straight right jab directly to his face, Glen falls and releases Naori impulsively.)
Crowd: Yeah!!!(Cheers!)
Obito: I could give you another depending on what your next answer is.
Glen: You Bastard, do you know who I am–
Plug: Dude, nobody gives a flying fuck about who you are.
(Glen shudders seeing the plug.)
Plug: (eerily) You're in my city dude(slowly walks downstairs), crap-like attitude like the one you have here right now can put you in some serious trouble. Can you really handle that kind of trouble?
Glen: Ngh! Fuck your city... and fuck you all, Naori Futaba is mine! (Laughs menacingly) No matter what happens, I will have a dance with her tonight, even if I die trying.
Plug: (snickers, inches up to glen and stares him down entirely) You wanna bet?
(Glen shudders.)
Obito: (sighs) This imp will never learn.
Plug: They never seem like they really can(smirks). Clearly not worth my time.
Obito: Naori.
Naori: Yea?
Obito: I'll take you home.
Naori: (kinda sad but prefers it) O-okay.
Obito: Hey bro(looks at the plug) Thanks for tonight's round, much needed.
Plug: it's all good bro, anytime!
(They walk off outside the dorm with people cheering towards the resolution.)
Glen: Wait, Naori are you really gonna leave me, Argh stupid boy, how dare you take her from me. I won't allow it!!
Obito: Then chase the bike(starts the engine,revs twice while Naori is on it too) Bye.
(They zoom off to Naori's dorm, Naori clutches Obito tightly during the ride.)
Obito: You okay?(concerned).
Naori: Y-yeah, thank you for helping me back there Senpai.
Obito: I still want you around(I can't love you too probably, but I can't leave you like I don't know you. Also, that would be terrible of me when Mui feels for you.) please keep yourself safe these days, you don't really know what kind of guy he is.
Naori: Okay.
(They ride off the scene back to familiar surroundings.)
Obito: (I never even got that drink...)
(End.)
5.6
{Moments after Obito and Naori leave the party, The plug also leaves the environment. He's seen walking into one of the alleyways and makes a phonecall.}
Plug: Yo, Mui.
Muichiro: Hey bro, what's good?
Plug: All's good bro. Where're you at?
Muichiro: Uhh... Right now I'm in my dorm... Didn't really feel like coming out tonight.
Plug: You should've come around for that block stuff bro, it was quite good.
Muichiro: Oh... You went?
Plug: Yeah, I had to find ways to make extra sales haha, I got some good sales too.
Muichiro: Nice.
Plug: Yeah, also Obito was there. Didn't he tell you that he was going?
Muichiro: Well... He kinda did, but I didn't really want to be interested too deep.
Plug: Oh... Well he was cool, we just kinda had a little bit of a chat. You were right about him being pretty chill. Although he kinda piqued my interest a bit.
Muichiro: Oh? How?
Plug: (smirks) so some idiot guy was tryna claim a pretty girl and she wasn't interested.
Muichiro: Hmm... Was she that pretty?
Plug: Bro, she is pretty, had nice pink hair, looked pretty good in her cargo pants, generally she looked pretty good.
Muichiro: So what happened bro?
Plug: Yoo! Obi kun wanted some action bro, he took matters into his own hands, I was just standing while the other dude was being a basket case, Bro really just punched him straight in the face to shut him up... Bro, I was so happy that shit happen.
Muichiro: (laughs) well that's Obito... Wait so what happened next?
Plug: Well the other dude was still trying to act tough a little bit so I chose to step in and give him a little warning. Trying to claim a babe that isn't yours or not wanting to be in your care publicly is very low.
Muichiro: Agreed my dude. He deserved it. Kinda now wish I showed up to watch.
Plug: Why didn't you come through though?
Muichiro: (hesitates) I got caught up in a few stuff over here, I couldn't make it.
Plug: Oh... Alright. Well I'm off to my place. Talk to you soon bro.
Muichiro: Alright bro, stay safe.
Plug: Alright bro, later(hangs up)
(Muichiro sighs in his room.)
Muichiro: I didn't go because Obito was there. I don't wanna cause problems for them...(Rests his back on his bed looking to the ceiling.) I really hope she's okay though...
(End.)

{The scene shifts to Obito's room. The time is 10:40pm and he's still awake working on a song. Somehow though, Obito forgot to totally close the door as it's open just a little bit.}
Obito: Finally!(sighs in relief) I managed to slow the pace and refine that tune from earlier.
Obito: (I don't know why though but after what happened tonight, I really hope Naori would be more careful these days... That Glen guy seems like serious trouble and we all might have to be guarded.)
(Buster on the other hand is playing with his rubber ball, it suddenly slips out of his jaws and rolls out of the room, Buster follows it while Obito is still a bit oblivious in his thoughts, Buster leaves the door open a bit more.)
Obito: Time to practice it again I guess.
(Picks guitar.)
Obito: (inhales deeply) alright, One... Two...
(He strums and plays "Under your spell" by Agustín Amigó. The sound is resonating calmly and gently through the dorm and some students seem to be enjoying the gentle sounds.)
(Halfway into the solo, the new tenant is seen walking gently to the source of the music, seemingly enchanted by the calm tune, their hair and mood loving every strum of the strings. They reach the room and calmly wait at the entrance until the song is over. Obito carefully strums the final tune of the songs giving it a pleasant ending.)
Obito: Yeah...(smiles to himself) that was really good. (looks at the time) well maybe I should get to sleep now.
(Sets down the guitar, still oblivious to the door)
Tenant: Okazaki kun(softly.)
(Obito finally looks to see the open door and the surprise behind it, his eyes widen and he gasps a bit.)
(Fade out)
Obito: Ichinose san...
(End.)
