The Thought of One

"So what happened?" Masaru asked as his grandfather left the room. "You guys just swerved into a different direction."

"There was some business that needed to be taken care of," I responded shakily, as Masaru nodded slowly, but then he noticed I wasn't finished and tilted his head curiously. "Uh, yeah… that was some serious business."

"Yeah," September nodded. "You have any video games?"

"Yeah, quite a lot of them to be honest," Masaru said, as my eyes widened, knowing what he was talking about. "I know you have a game system in your room right?" He nodded back at me. I felt my hands tingle in excitement, my heart pump, my mind racing as it felt like Christmas had come early.
