Ian narrowed his eyes. “So could I. I do this with my feet.”
I'm in a cliche Webcomic?!
"Do it, I dare you. Close your eyes and play with your feet," she laughed.
“Then you have to do that too!” Ian said, pausing the game and putting the controller between his feet.
Cassie shook her head. "I only said I could do it with my eyes closed. You're the idiot who has to use his feet."
“Fiiine,” Ian complained with a sigh. He had played with his feet before but it wasn’t like he was actually good at it.
Cassie laughed brightly. "Hurry up and close your eyes so I can start the game."
Ian rolled his eyes pointedly before closing them. “Okay okay, there. Are you happy now?”
"Quite," Cassie said, starting the game before closing her eyes. "Watch me drive off a cliff," she joked. "Oh wait, you can't."
“You can’t either,” Ian teased back. “Notice how I keep stopping because it’s next to impossible to press the stupid button with your feet.” He laughed.
"You're not allowed to complain, you brought this on yourself," she smiled.
“I am going to complain all I want, because I am fully aware I am a dumbass who has a mouth bigger than his brain,” Ian retorted.
Cassie rolled her closed eyes. "Yes, that's true."
“You weren’t supposed to agree with me!” Ian protested.

"Everything, huh?" Kaori raised his eyebrows. "Let's see… where do I begin? You and Cassie, you always stuck together, never gave a crap about the stuff people said about you, but you didn't really care much about anyone else either… You aren't the type of person who just- just forgives people all of a sudden. Then, then you changed overnight. I don't know what happened, but I want to know." he leaned closer, staring Nagi in the eyes, unblinking until he was interrupted by a waitress coming to take their order. He looked at Nagi briefly. "What do you want? I'll take just a water, please."
"And you weren't supposed to awkwardly play mariokart with your feet. These things happen," she said brightly, shrugging.
Ian didn’t have a good retort for that, which annoyed him. It had been a while since he was at a loss for words. “How long do you think its been since all of the computers finished?”
Cassie shrugged. "Open your eyes," she suggested, opening her own to laugh. 11th place, her failure only lesser than Ian's.
Ian opened his eyes to see he had lost. “Well there’s a shocker,” he muttered with a chuckle. “That went well.”
"I'll just have water as well." Nagi was thrown off by what he said. Some of it was true, she never really did care about rumors, but Nagi always tried to forgive people. "You make it sound like you did something to me that I haven't forgiven." She also leaned in close. "Have we ever talked before?" By this time she gave up trying to put on the act as if she knew everything that was going on. "And even if I did tell you, you wouldn't believe me."
Cassie nodded. "Okay, I forgot how much I hate this game. Let's do something else."
“Okay, you choose this time,” Ian agreed. He wasn’t sure what she had in mind.

Kaori withdrew back, a bit shocked. "You're not Nagi," he said. "And no, but I have witnessed… certain events."
Cassie shrugged. "I don't know. We don't really have anything interesting here. If you were feeling really childish, we could go play tag," she laughed. "But I don't think that's going to be your first choice. Or 20th, for that matter."
“I’d say it’s closer to my sixteenth choice,” Ian joked with a laugh. “But honestly I’m up for whatever, I guess.”
"What events?" The waitress cane and dropped off the water. "Are you ready or do you still need more time." Nagi quickly looked over and smiled. "More time please." She nodded and walked away. "And I am Nagi, how rude." Nagi felt a bit relieved to finally get some answers, even it gave her more questions.

"You're… you're not the same. I feel like you're a totally different person," he sipped his water.
"I'm not the complete same. Now, what events how you seen?" Nagi just wanted to make sure she wasn't some mean girl. "If you can be my partner in this and help me find some answers, I'll tell you what happened." If anything, Kaori might be the perfect person to tell.
“I’d say it’s closer to my sixteenth choice,” Ian joked with a laugh. “But honestly I’m up for whatever, I guess.”
Cassie laughed. "I'm only joking. I have no clue what we should do."
“I don’t know either,” Ian replied. “I guess we can just talk if you want.”
Cassie shrugged. "Alright, then."
