Suddenly she wasn't in the hospital anymore, waiting for a reply to her silent yes, but at the park where she had met Tsukiko and Mr. Skeleton Policeman. And she wasn't alone,watching the setting sun paint the sky red and orange, but Tsukiko, Alek, everyone at the hospital and the ramen shop (including rude guy and the girl watching them) and the girl she had bumped into.
"Excuse me...hello. Good morning."
She had forgotten someone: Mr. Skeleton himself.
"Oh, it's...more like afternoon. Good afternoon, then.Please don't make any commotion. Nobody but me can hear your screams anyway."
It was like when they were put under "arrest" by this guy. Everyone passed by like they were invisible. Probably some bony magic at work, like now.
Some of the people with her became annoyed/pissed/whatever, and attacked the bony thing, not knowing that that "frail" thing took down Tsukiko, a grown (?) woman. Or maybe they were stupid. Either way, they didn't even harm the freaking guy
"Ah," he sighed. "That was a waste of effort. I just wanted to tell you a few things you might want to know."First, I do apologize for that attack."
Oh really. The flat voice made it sound sarcastic in some way, but he did say sorry.
"Second, there will be an attack on the 109 Building tonight by the KID. If you don't stop the attack or otherwise interfere, people will die during this particular attack." He paused, maybe to let you process the information. "Don't ask me how I know. I know everything." He paused again, a shorter one this time. "Naturally, I know that this entire group is comprised of people that frequent the same forum. You all are very interesting for that and other reasons. I guess...that's why I've been watching you this entire time, as well."
Eeeeh?! They're...all..from..DCW?!! Noooo!!!!!
She had managed to keep a firm grip on her identity for the duration of her stay in DCW, bjut now she was placed in a worst-case scenario for Nara-chan: risk of revealing her face to DCW members. She had a silent panic moment, where her brain was screaming for help, and adrenaline was coursing through her veins full blast. Stay calm. They may not even know Nara-chan exists!, the non-screaming part told her, but it wasn't enough to stop her hands from shaking.
He abruptly turned around, but then he turned his head back to look at the group. "The attack won't occur until midnight. Well, good luck, then. I wish you good luck...from the smallest portion of my heart."
The wind whipped around everyone's hair, and she closed her eyes to block off the dust that came with it. When she opened her eyes, skelly guy was gone. Like magic.
--------------------------------------
Alek and Tsukiko were pretty calm about the revelation, while the girl she had bumped into was basically what was happening inside of her. And the idea of stopping a criminal with a group of people from an online anime forum? Quite unlikely. What was skelly man thinking?!
The other people were socializing, volunteering to go to Shibuya 109 Building to do what skelly man told them. But no one really noticed her. A pop star named Misaki (could it possibly be Misaki-chan?) was currently asking some people on probable strategies. She was the exact opposite of her: pop stars got lots of attention, she was a mere shadow. Maybe that is why she thought about her silent shadow status when she saw Misaki at the ramen shop.
