"Alright, tell me what's up?" Steve asked, leaning on the railing outside.
Daichi, Miho and Ken's parents had gone to bed already, leaving Steve and Ken alone after some time. They had moved to the front porch in order to not wake anyone.
"What do you mean?" Ken asked, trying to brush off the question.
"Bro, we've known each other for ages. I know when something is bothering you. Is it trouble with Ai?" Steve asked with concern.
Ken let out a sigh, debating whether or not to speak his mind. He had been rattled ever since experiencing that dream the other day. Every now and then he would hear murmurs, as if there was someone talking close by.
It made him feel like he was hallucinating.
But how would he explain that to his friend, wouldn't he just sound crazy? The last thing he wanted was to be sent to the doctor for such a thing, it might even hinder his trajectory to move up to the Majors.
