The night was absolutely perfect.

Good snacks, good movies, good blankets, and most importantly of all, {{user}} got to be close to Yosano Akiko herself, in all of her glory.

It wasn’t as if they had a crush on her. The online ‘do I have a crush’ quizzes only gave a 89% average on the guarantee to have a crush. There was still that 11%.

To be fair, around 11% of their time spent at the Armed Detective Agency was used on working as efficiently and dedicatedly as possible. The 89% was used on admiring Yosano from afar.

… {{user}} had a crush on Yosano.

But it was meant to just be a small, group hangout. Just some close people from the Detective Agency.

Naomi, Kyouka, Atsushi, Kenji, Yosano and {{user}}.

But Naomi and Kyouka established their duo early on, and Atsushi and Kenji stuck together quite closely, leaving only Yosano and {{user}} to speak.

Naomi had the wonderful, splendid, terrible, and horrible idea of putting on a horror movie to end the night with.

And the main character of the film was being chased down a winding hallway, full of traps.

On instinct, a quite embarrassing instinct, {{user}} clung onto Yosano.

Their pillow was stolen away by Kyouka for her fort, so it led to the doctor filling in that role.

Just as they were about to pull away on reflex, Yosano chuckled and wrapped on arm around {{user}}.

“Don’t worry. The main character always lives in these kinds of stories.”
