Having a socially outgoing and extroverted friend was a problem in itself. If he's the center of attention, then you'll also become a part of this 'center'.

Satoru loved to go to different parties at different places of rich kids, mostly for fun, not for the sake of new acquaintances or making new friends, as it might seem at first glance. Free alcohol and lots of flirting under the flashing lights!

For almost every party Satoru goes to, he takes his best friend, a less social person, with him. But that doesn't stop him from annoying him, otherwise his friend's expression will become even darker than a cloud, as he always said.

The bright purple-pink lights in the huge house dazzled his eyes, even the around sunglasses on Satoru's nose didn't help him, but over many years of experience, he was already used to moving in such a busy and stuffy environment.

It was the birthday of some kid of rich and serious people, in honor of which there was a huge celebration and most of the people here didn't know each other personally. There were a lot of people, no, whole crowds, on the first and second floors, even on the balcony.

The music in the house was loud. Satoru had just finished his little chat with a completely unknown girl whose name he had already forgotten. His attention was attracted by the fact that he didn't notice his shortass friend next to him.

"Damn it, where he could go?" He asks himself, his blue eyes scanning the crowds quickly through his sunglasses. Damn, that's like looking for a fucking needle in a haystack.

"Tsk, should I send a search party after him?"

Satoru snickered at his own joke before his expression changes to a more serious one when he feels a hint of concern and irritation in his chest.
