Ch 66: The Claim

  Over the years, Minami had been to Naoto's apartment probably over a thousand times.

  It was a place she knew like the back of her hand, however, tonight was completely different.

  The vibe of this place she typically felt so comfortable in, was off.

  Everything suddenly felt new and unfamiliar, igniting an unexpected wave of anxiety within her.

  For the first time, she would enter Naoto's bedroom.

  Part of her was curious what it looked like – was it messy, was it clean, what would the color palette be like?

  The other part was so nervous that it caused her body to tremble.

  Once she went in there, things would change forever.

  'Am I really ready for this? What will it be like….if it all going to be okay? What if I look weird or something?'

  Naoto grabbed the door knob and twisted it, opening the room up to her for the first time.

  It was much fancier than she thought it would've been.
