"Why did... he do that?"
Yuina kept repeating the same questions after Ryuu conveyed Ueda Asahi's current whereabouts.
Her voice was quiet and sounded listless. Her hands shivered as she gripped the skirt tightly, causing wrinkles on the fabric.
"Yuina, you could reject the request... if you don't want to see him," said Ryuu whose expression was troubled beyond words.
"I couldn't... I have to go," answered Yuina weakly.
Ryuu pursed his lips. His eyes drifted to the front mirror of the car. The driver was bringing them to the opposite side of the company, more than an hour away from their place.
The change of direction happened because of Detective Arai's call.
The efforts to locate Ueda Asahi were cut short because that man sought the police first. Ueda Asahi called them and said that he would be waiting for Yuina at a place.
