Tapping your fingers against the edges of your phone, you contemplated.

Truth be told, you hadn’t been this restless since the last time you were confined to your room and frankly, you were not tempted to give it another taste. Something in you was bubbling, itching to come out, a sense of adventure waiting to explode. Seconds passed before a sigh escaped your lips and you stood up, brushing your skirt down as you looked around for your flats.

Recalling the nearby malls, you planned a stroll in your mind, grabbing everything you deemed necessary: Phone, wallet, room key and a jacket. In truth, you merely meant for a simple stroll around the neighbourhood, so your phone and wallet was perhaps unnecessary but, being prepared is always better than caught unprepared.

Humming to yourself, you slipped through the door and slammed it shut behind you. Carefree.

The wind outside was strong, but it wasn’t strong enough to be counted as chilly. Then again, your blood was boiling so perhaps that was the reason. It’s strange, to suddenly feel so restless and not being able to pinpoint the reason. Shaking your head of the confusion, you made your way down the street, taking in the soft lights and the loud chatter.

In truth, it was relaxing. Not being confined and restricted to an area.

It was so much preferable than anything else.

Like that, you walked for close to an hour, time passing by in a blur before you remembered to return, your phone buzzing in your pocket. It wasn’t a phone call but a wave of messages, all from a single person.

Ranpo had been the one texting you all the time, his last message was that he is on his way to your location.
