"Dang," Akira muttered. "I wanted to go to the show, too!"
Ren looked at him with raised eyebrows. "You're just saying that in theory," he said. "You definitely can't live in the middle of nowhere without your phone."
"I definitely can," Akira boasted, squaring his shoulders. "You don't know me!"
"You can't," Ren said, challenging his statement.
"Without your favorite food?"
Akira clicked his tongue. "Easy! We'd just hunt some chickens and fry them on the spot."
"Without your video games?"
Akira pursed his lips. "It's only a little more than a week. I can survive that long."
"Without your favorite dramas?"
Akira's eyes twitched, already feeling challenged. "Well..."
"Without looking at the trends? You have the worst case of FOMO," Ren continued.
Akira sighed. That was his breaking point.
"You're right. I'm happy I won't be there."
