Goes to Rin and Toki getting teleported by the public teleportation system in Evelyn and are transported about 1 mile from Rin's house. This transport system can only teleport within a 20 mile radius and there are limits to where you can go. (Only found within the city of Evelyn.)
They walk and Toki holds something behind her back.
Toki: I've never taken that transport system before but that sure was convenient, isn't that just a prototype?
Rin: Yeah, it was added 2 weeks ago actually; I can't believe the next step in the future of transport is teleportation, technology is amazing!
Toki: To think humanity was on the verge of extinction due to planetary changes just 40 years ago before is insane, it amazes me how we could bounce back in a short amount of time and create a thriving new future like this.
Rin: I've actually never thought of it that way wow Toki you always make me think of...
Toki(Insanely nervous in mind)-of!!?
Rin: All new sorts of perspectives and ways to view the world, you're like a mentor!
Toki looks down in sadness for a brief moment.
Toki(In mind): I thought too hard about that sentence.
Toki: So, rin, may I ask you a few questions?
Rin: Go for it!
Toki: What do you think of relationships, do you have any love interests?
Rin: Huh? Oh, umm I haven't really have had much experience with talking with girls outside of you and Akira, I'm just not a ladies man; I don't really know how it builds up to that point either, but it does seem kind of nice. In the current moment if that girl did come up i'd just stay friends because of college next year.
Toki: Have you ever, even if just one, have had a romantic thought of an individual?
Rin: I don't really know how to express it that well, but if someone showed me then sure, haha.
Toki's tone of voice gradually saddens with the next questions as they continue to walk.
Toki: Would you ever consider to date a friend?
Rin: Uh that sounds weird, but I don't know I'm just really thankful that I have amazingly close friends such as you guys to keep me from feeling lonely.
Toki stops walking and there's a nice view behind her.
Toki: Would you consider to date a friend, who happened to be close by in heart in the recent years?
Rin: I couldn't, it would feel weird between that friend and I though.
Toki faces gets sad, her eyes water, she then reveals the gift she had behind her back, throws it at Rin's chest, and runs off with tears gradually falling as she tries to restrain them.
Rin(Looks concerned, places his hand out as she runs off): Toki??
Rin looks at the gift to reveal that it is a cute stuffed bear holding something, but he doesn't notice it yet.
He picks it up and continues to head home.
He makes it home and opens the door to head to his room.
Ms. Abe: Oh, hey honey, I'm making your all time favourite again with ramen as well.
Rin: Thanks mom, but I'm not hungry anymore.
Ms. Abe: Rin?
He heads to his room with a sad face and makes it to his door.
Rin: Open.
Jinko: Systems online. Access granted. J-i-n-k-o systems are back, back at it again, to serve is my duty of my manufacturers. Rin, welcome back also, what is that human expression on your face it makes me feel more colder on the inside.
Rin: I'm fine, Jinko, it's nothing really.
Jinko: Aw, you are hiding more of your feelings from me, ergo I am unable to complete my service, hence why my manufacturers created me.
Rin: Jinko, really, I'm fine. I just want some alone time to think please, you are dismissed.
Jinko: Aw, you can run, but you can't hide. I am Jinko Tekina, here to serve at the hands of my manufacturers, I will not leave until you give me some insight. Commencing to play nursery rhyme, "Baba sheep?"
Rin(Angry) JINKO!
Jinko(Looking worried): My apologies sir, I've just gotten a little carried away, sorry. I will grant you your alone time, Rin, I wish you a quick resolution to recover your mind.
She disappears and goes back into the network.
Rin lays down in his bed looking at the bear Toki threw at him trying to figure out what made her get so upset.
He stays in his room for hours all the way to night and at times goes to his PC and stares at his DMs on GameCore with Toki and preps what he will type, but doesn't manage to send anything.
10:00pm
Rin is laying in his bed staring out of his window to view outside and his mom calls him from the outside of the door.
Ms. Abe: Is everything thing ok, Rin? May I come in?
Rin: Yes mom.
The door opens, she walks in with food and places it on his desk.
She then goes to sit on his bed.
Ms. Abe: Aww, what's wrong darling? Lose an important match-up in your game?
Rin: Uh, it actually isn't game related for once. (He sits up) I made a close friend in real life of mine really upset today and I can't figure out why.
Ms. Abe: Fights are bound to happen in any type of relationship to the person, honey, it's one of the hardest lessons actually, you get into the biggest fights with people that care for the most. Whatever the reason, I know what happened isn't permanent damage because I know you wouldn't harm even a fly, you're too gentle to hurt someone's feelings entirely. Could be that this person is trying to hold onto something important to them, change isn't easy but you two agreed to make this friendship last, right? Just apologize and I'm sure whoever it is will understand, honey. I'll let you clear your head for the night, goodnight.
She walks out.
Rin(In mind): Thank you mother. An apology? I really want too, but I'm not sure how to approach that especially considering I don't know what happened, I've been friends with her for such a long time and I don't even know what she wants from me, tch how useful am I? There could be a plethora of things that could have built of to this very moment which caused her to snap after those questions; I want to believe the damage isn't permanent, but the look Toki gave me and the way I keep visualizing it makes me think she genuinely hates me and it makes me sad.
He plops back to lay back down his head ends up laying on the bear.
Rin: Ow. Hm, it's holding a heart shaped chip of some sort.
He gets out of bed and moves the food onto another desk to gets his pc setup out; he places it inside the tower of his pc and is greeted with a message from Toki.
Toki hologram: Hello,"Rinner," I made this to celebrate our near 5 years of knowing one another! I wanted to showcase it through this memory collage I made, I hope you like it and relive some of my favorite times with you again.
Bigger screen plays about 2 minutes worth of short various moments of Rin and Toki moments plus some images together with some soft music and ends with the Toki hologram saying..
Toki hologram: You've healed the hole in my heart to make me feel complete after all these years, you've made me feel really happy, you're really special to me, I'd be lost in a sea of uncertainty if it weren't for you, thank you so much for this!
Rin(Gasp in and eyes water): Toki.
He tries to restrain his tears, but they eventually begin to hit his desk and we see his sad stricken face.
Rin(In 1st person): What is this feeling I'm feeling? I can't really say for sure, but as I sat here and cried, I figured out something, I have to protect Toki at all cost, no matter the circumstances, she opened my eyes to fuel my much needed fire. I will cherish this friendship as much as I possibly can bear it, you won't be let down again, Toki.
He stops crying moments later
He sits down and begins to type on his keyboard to DM Toki.
[Rin: I saw your chip message and I wanted to say I was sorry about whatever I said earlier.
Toki: It makes me even happy that you actually seen the chip in the first place, don't worry about it, I acted rash and out of character.
Rin: Do you forgive me?
Toki: Always❤
Rin: Thank you for being so amazing as always, gn.
Toki: Gn, Rin :) ]
He inhales then exhales, he pulls back from his desk and falls asleep in his pulled back chair.
