You was busy cleaning up tables, when Kanan suddenly called out to her.

"It seems you've taken a certain liking to Chika, huh?"

"Kanan, I know where you're trying to get with this, so I'll just say it now. I don't think this can be called a crush, after all, I barely know anything about her! How would I fall for someone I don't even know?"

"Well, it doesn't look like it's holding you back.."

You did not say anything, but she did know Kanan was right.

"Which makes me think that you do wanna know her better, right?" Kanan continued, "so let me give you her phone number!"

You looked up and centered her gaze on Kanan instead of the table she was cleaning. "Are you sure? Isn't she like, gonna kill you or something?"

"I've already given you her address and she hasn't murdered me yet, so I'll be fine." Said the blue haired girl with a little smile.

Chika was scrolling down her phone when she suddenly got a text from an unknown number. From what Chika got to read from the notification that popped up on her screen, she could read 'Mikan Lover'..

How the hell did she get my number?!

But not a second went by before she realized it was probably Kanan who was behind this. Chika tapped on the message that popped on her screen.

: Hey there, Mikan lover~

: Kanan gave you my number, didn't she? But I guess that's alright, if we're friends, we should have a way to text each other.

: You're admitting that we're friends?! :0

: Don't get too excited just yet, I could still start ignoring you if I wanted to.

: Too late, I'm already happy.

And for some reason, the thought of being You's cause of happiness, caused Chika a small, odd sensation. It made her anxious, and she wasn't sure as to why she felt that way. There was one thing she was sure of though. It was the same feeling that would catch her by surprise when Riko smiled at her. This was enough to scare Chika and cause her to wish her new friend 'goodnight', turning off her phone and placing it on her bedside table.

What am I doing right now..? Chika asked herself, starting at the ceiling as she lied in bed. She had become happier since she had met You Watanabe, but something about her was different. She could be a bit annoying at times, but that didn't mean sh couldn't make Chika smile. And this was also something that would scare the hell out of Chika.

You made her happy, maybe a bit happier than she would've liked to admit. But so did Riko, and now she was gone. And she wouldn't be coming back, ever. So what if one day You was gone too? What if she couldn't save You? This kinds of questions wouldn't let her sleep sometimes.

And on top of it, Riko hadn't "showed up" recently. It had been two weeks since Chika met You, and since then, she had barely seen Riko, even in her dreams. She probably should've been glad, maybe this was a sign of her mental health improving? But she wasn't. This was her only way of making any contact with Riko whatsoever, even if it wasn't real. Chika wasn't ready to say goodbye one last time, not yet.

With thoughts running wild in her head, Chika attempted to fall asleep. That is, until she received another text, this one was from Kanan.

: Okay, yes, I gave her your number, don't kill me yet. Before you do that, do you wanna go out to have lunch tomorrow with You and me?

: Around 12 pm?

: Well, I don't exactly have anything to do tomorrow, so why not.

: Great! You will pick you up tomorrow and walk you to the restaurant. See you!

: Wdym she'll will pick me up? At least tell me where we're going!

: kanan..?

: I'll definitely kill you after this.
