Bad News (2)

Daichi's stiff expression changed to one of shock as he heard the news. His bag which was slung over his shoulder suddenly dropped onto the ground before he fell to his knees.

Ken quickly ran forward and embraced his brother, getting down to his level and holding him tightly.

"I'm sorry bro…"

While the two brother embraced, Chris continued to speak to the officer's and got whatever details they had. After a few minutes they left the vicinity, leaving the house.

Daichi was in too much shock to realize what was happening in that moment. It took a lot of coaxing, but he eventually made his way into the house in a daze.

Mark and Yuki were filled in by Chris before the boys made it inside. Yuki took the news terribly, while Mark turned solemn. This was not something they were expecting at all.
