The silence during lunch was cut short by a direct question.
"Do you have some unfinished business with Nyx?"
Aoi didn't raise her voice or change her tone. She simply placed the question on the table as naturally as she had set down her tray.
Takeshi looked at her.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because that goodbye sounded like you were going to see each other later."
It wasn't an accusation, just an observation, but the problem was that it was a correct observation, Aoi knew it, and Takeshi knew that she knew it.
Takeshi opened his mouth to answer.
'Damn… I think the best thing is just to tell her the truth…'
At that moment, the chat appeared.
[WARNING. If he tells her the truth right now, Aoi's sanity could drop and this could go very bad very fast]
[I'm predicting zero sanity before they even finish lunch]
[Telling her the truth = blade to the throat before dessert, I stand by that theory]
[Takeshi THINK before speaking for once in your life]
Takeshi closed his mouth.
