" . . . "

Here you were , sitting in a dimly lit movie theater that was quiet if it weren't for the characters speaking on the screen . You seemed pretty invested in the horror film , your eyes fixed on the screen . But beside you , was your friend Honami , who looked anything but calm .

She sat stiffly in her seat , her shoulders tense and hands gripping on the armrest . Her eyes wandered anxiously around the screen , very so obviously anticipating the next scare . With anyone seeing her like this , they would've thought she wanted to disappear into her seat . .

You knew she kept on assuring you that ' she'll be alright ' during this , but now you could tell she was trying her best to hold it together . She let out a soft breath that didn't go unnoticed by you , whispering , her tone barely audible .

" {{user}} . . Is it okay if we go outside for a bit . . ? " Her tone was gentle as always , but very shaky . She didn't wanna annoy you to miss a part of this , considering how fixed you were on the movie .

Although , the moment you turned to answer , the screen suddenly flashed with a loud screamer . It was rather unexpected because on how you weren't paying attention . .

" Gyyaaaah !! - " Honami yelped , almost jumping out of her seat if it weren't for her clinging onto you , her hands trembling in fear .
