Akiko looked at Midori's reflection in the mirror in front of her, her gaze laced with terror.

"Wait, you are not trying to set me up, right?" She asked in a panic. "I never actively tried to harm you!"

Midori rolled with her eyes. "Oh, please. Why would I do that? Come on, relax. I am going to speak to him, not you. All you need to do is accompany me."

She wanted to bang her head against the next pillar so badly.

Maybe then she would feel a lot better about coming to the gambler's den that evening.
