331 Vol. 6 pt. 17 (1/2)
Fenrir was planning on showing off his new, mastered ability to transform Rod as soon as he got back to his girlfriends… but they seemed to have something else in mind for him. It was clear that something was off as soon as he saw them waiting for him with less than smiling faces.
Serra left the others to intercept him.
”Is something wrong?” Fenrir immediately asked as soon as Serra was close enough.
”No, but it's about Aiko,” Serra answered.
”Oh.”
”Yeah.”
”Is she alright?”
Serra nodded. ”She's fine.”
”Then what's up?”
”She wants to talk to you. Alone.”
”She actually wants to talk to me? I was starting to think that she'd never talk to me again.”
”You'll understand when you talk to her.”
”Got it. So… when's she want to have this talk with me?”
”Tomorrow.”
”That soon?”
”Yeah.”

”I haven't heard from her in what feels like forever… and now she wants to have a private talk with me tomorrow. What do the others think?”
”They're okay with it as long as it's in-game. Nell can tell how you feel so we can tell if anything goes wrong.”
”That's a good idea. What do you think about this since you're the only one of us she's been talking to?”
”I trust her. She's different now.”
”If you believe it, I'll try my best to believe that as well. I—”
”Oi!” Tabitha shouted, running up to Fenrir and Serra. ”Wolf boy, how would ya feel about us buildin' a mecha?”
”Wait, what? Is that even possible?”
”Maybe.”
”I mean… if you can build one, I want to see it.”
Rather than say anything else to Fenrir, Tabitha turned around to shout at Rao, ”Oi! Red! We've got permission!” And then she ran off back to him.
”I… I feel like I'm missing something,” Fenrir said to Serra. ”First Aiko is coming back, now Tabs and Rao are getting along and want to build a mecha?”
Serra shrugged.
”Anyways, Aiko really is coming back? I know I keep asking, but – I don't know. That makes me nervous. She was just so different from how I remembered her. I never would have expected her to become a stalker or to be the type to cause drama, but… I don't know. I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to think or how I'm supposed to react to this. I want her to be better, but I'm worried about how she might act around us.”
”It's okay. She expects that,” Serra explained.
