Suki was headed home after a shift at work. She was close to exhausted. In her mind, it felt like she hadn't done anything in months, but in reality, school had just started and working both that and her club and her job was taking some getting used to. She was also having difficulty spending time was Haru outside of school and at home. It was worrying, leaving her twin to their own devices in a hateful world. Would Haru be alright without someone to protect them? Suki reached a crosswalk with a couple other people standing around, waiting for the light to turn green. She brushed some hair out of her face and thought about what to make for dinner. Edited by asano_man, Jul 29 2016, 10:49 AM.

After a long and arduous day of doing not a whole lot at all, Trent Proctor didn't wany anything other than getting home and shutting the door. The only reason he was even outside was because he'd needed to go to the grocery store to pick up a few things (that he'd already eaten on his way back). Not very successful, but what can you do. In his usual attire of a black jacket, dark grey jeans and black boots, he didn't exactly stand out from the crowd - that is, it was hard to judge just how much such a staggeringly pale young man dressed in all dark colors stood out from a primarily Japanese crowd. Someone that did stand out in his eyes, however, was the person that was standing next to him. A person that he was quite sure he knew, but whose attire seemed... incredibly unfamiliar. "...Amachi-san?" Before he knew it, the question had already come out of his mouth, and there was no taking it back now. |

Suki was pulled out of her deep thought by someone saying her name. She blinked and looked up at someone next to her, a very unkempt, very pale man. Unconsciously, she took a step back from him and stared warily. How did he know her name? Was he a customer from work? She felt like she would remember a foreigner that looked like this. Was he a stalker? The thought chilled her blood and immediately put her on the defensive. Tightening her grip on her purse, she steeled herself to speak. 'W-Who are you...? How do you know my name?' Her eyes darted around for possible escape paths. There were still a lot of people around, so he probably couldn't do anything. And luckily, the police station was pretty close by. |

The person he had greeted was most definitely not Haru. Haru wasn't a girl. Haru wasn't so incredibly bafflingly girly. "...nevermind, you're not Haru." With that, he resumed looking forward (though such a comment was guaranteed to put Suki on edge, for several reasons all related to why does this man know my sibling". Hold up. His eyes widened as it clicked. Hadn't they mentioned something about a sister...? His blood chilled as he realized the first impression he'd just given to Haru's (possible) sister. |

The good news was that this man wasn't Suki's stalker. The bad news was that he was Haru's stalker. Bad news for him, that is. Suki's face went from guarded to hostile in a fraction of a second. She spun the strap of her purse around her hand so it wouldn't go flying if she lost her grip after multiple hits and used her other hand to iron grip the man's arm. She looked up at him with wide eyes and a smile with exactly zero humor behind it. 'Hey. How about you tell me how you know that name? NOW?' Each word she spoke was a threat. |

Predictably enough, he'd caused a bad impression on Haru's sister, but he was most definitely not expecting that exact reaction. "Uh." More than scared, he was baffled. He knew he could easily overpower someone of that girl's size and apparent build - he was more worried about the impression they might be causing on bystanders. "...Amachi Haru is a coworker of mine at the library. A coworker that seems to enjoy talking to me a lot. All interactions between us are begun by them." A short and concise answer, at the very least, though who knew if it would do anything to soothe Suki's shot protective instinct. "...I'd be thankful if you stopped grabbing my arm like that." |

Suki glared at the man, scrutinizing every word and movement to see if he was lying or not. It was pretty convenient for him to be a coworker. Then again, Haru had mentioned a particularly dark coworker, and this guy definitely fit the bill. He'd also used the right pronoun without being prompted... Suki released her grip but continued glaring at the man, still not trusting him. 'What's your name?' She demanded. 'How long have you known Haru? What's your job at the library? How close are you with my twin?' Suki grilled the man, leaving no time for him to answer between each question. |

The assault from the girl was relentless, and the bewilderment in Trent grew with each passing second. The fact that Suki looked ready to try mauling him with her purse didn't help matters at all. "Name is Proctor, Trent--for a couple weeks or so, I'd say--I have a pretty general work, taking on tasks that need to be done without a specific niche--we have met twice..." After replying to the rapid-fire questions with rapid-fire answers, he was left breathless. The pale young man took a few deep breaths to try regaining his breath after wheezing, but couldn't help also coughing a few times. "...ugh... please let go of my arm now..." Whatever it is that was happening was surreal and baffling. |

Trent--if that was his real name--seemed to have an answer for everything. Had he rehearsed this? Suki supposed he could be telling the truth... The man started breathing heavily and coughing, which prompted Suki to finally let go of his arm. She took a step back and looked him over. He definitely didn't look like a trustworthy type. With his pale skin, baggy eyes, and dark hoodie, he looked more like one of those hikikomori Suki had heard about, and she could definitely see someone like that stalking someone else. On the other hand, he seemed downright dumbfounded by the situation right now. She figured someone who had come up with all of the lies he had been shooting at her would be more prepared for something like this. Suki still gave Trent a wary eye, but she seemed to calm down just a bit. '...I'm Amachi Tsukiko. I'm sure you've guessed, but I'm Haru's sister. I apologize for acting so strangely, Proctor-san, but I am very protective of my twin. I didn't realize you were coworkers.' She bowed her head just a little bit for apology. |

"I noticed." After that experience, it was beyond evident that Suki was protective of Haru - to a perhaps terrifying degree. For as much as he himself didn't want to see them come to harm either, that was ridiculous... Is the light any closer to turning to green...? After a bit, he managed to fully regain his composure, but he was still somewhat confused by the entire situation. "...has Haru seriously not even mentioned me...?" |
