Description
All the way to the roof, Kohaku chattered away happily about this way and that, holding a one-sided conversation with Hiro as if she had not just effectively blackmailed him into following her. Hiro gave no reply, blood pounding in his ears, watching her nervously, carefully. He had no idea where on her person she would have stashed the phone, as she had seemed to pull it out of nowhere and, through some sleight of hand, hidden it again. He knew that making any move against her ran the risk of that phone appearing and the image on it going out into the world with just the click of a button...

The metal door clicked close behind him as they stepped out into the daylight. The smiling girl continued ahead across the fence-encircled rooftop. No one else was around, as far as he could tell. He turned his attention back to Kohaku, fists clenched, feeling the sweat on his palms.

"Well, here we are!" Kohaku said cheerfully. "I know it's only a temporary solution, but I figure that if it's just the two of us so far we can at least hammer out an itinerary, maybe name some potential club candidates. You know, they say direct sunlight is really good for you in small doses, so maybe we'll just keep things up here if worst comes to worst, since it won't be too much longer until sundown-"

"Where did you get that?" Hiro almost coughed on the words, his mouth bone dry. "That picture. I'm not doing... doing anything you say until you tell me what's going on."
