On this quiet Sunday, Haruto sat on the couch, absentmindedly scrolling through his phone while a movie played on the TV.
His attention, however, wasn't on the screen. He was waiting for a message from Asuka.
'Shouldn't that bracelet have made her fall even more for me?' he thought, irritated as he opened up Asuka's profile on the system for the third time that morning.
He frowned as he checked the stats. 'Her emotional bond and obsession levels are nearly as high as Chiyo's. So why does she rarely contact me?'
He scratched his head, puzzled. 'If this keeps up, I might need to use Kota as an excuse just to see her at her place.' He sighed and forced himself to focus back on the TV.
The plan involving Asuka was important for his revenge against Kota, but her unreachability was proving to be a roadblock.
