"Welcome home," Ijichi tilted his head in a slight bow as you and Satoru got out of the vehicle. Satoru's Jersey home... though the snow was covering most of the landscaping, the place didn't seem to have changed much since you were last here. Other than added security features, of course.

Satoru nodded to acknowledge Ijichi before guiding you inside. The grand hall... that was a sight to be seen every time, and a view you never got used to. You could vaguely recall the crowds of people and the tables from that night, but just in thinking about it you couldn't help but feel nervous.

Satoru caught on right away, gently caressing your arm. "It's ok."

You knew nothing will happen, but you couldn't help but feel uneasy. If it happened once, who's to say it won't happen again?

"Ijichi, can you escort Miss L/n to the bedroom? I need to quickly send in a few recordings to the firm." Satoru was a bit reluctant to leave you, but he had to submit the recording from the interrogation eventually.

"O-of course," Ijichi bowed his head awkwardly. And so you were passed off to Ijichi momentarily who took you to the master bedroom. Leaving you to sit on the bed, he quickly made his exit as he closed the door. It wasn't until after the door had closed did you notice your chest.

Your heart rate had been increasing this entire time. The master bedroom- this is where you were taken away. You couldn't help but take in a few more succeeded breaths to try to calm your nerves, but it didn't help. You couldn't do this alone... not... not without... Satoru. You clenched onto the bedsheets with your trembling hands.

Minutes, hours, you didn't know how long you were sitting here alone. But your uncertainty kept building. Were you safe, were you in danger? No matter how hard you tried to convince yourself your fear was irrational, the feeling still remained.

That is when you heard it. The door handle. Someone was fiddling with the door handle! You couldn't take it any longer!

And so you bolted to the bathroom, locking the door behind you. Whether or not this was the worst case scenario, you were not in the right headspace to face it.

"Y/n?" A faint voice called in the master bedroom. You held your hands to your mouth to try to stifle your breathing. With your back on the bathroom door, you slowly slid down as the voice continued to call.

It was Satoru.

Though now you knew it was him, you couldn't let him see you like this. You couldn't calm your body down enough for him not to worry, so you stayed locked in the bathroom.

"Y/n?" This time his voice was more concerned. He was obviously looking over all over the place for you as he moved outside the bathroom door to knock. "Are you in there?"

You didn't respond. If you tried your voice would probably crack. And so Satoru tried to open the door, but you had locked it. He continued twisting the knob.

"Y/n, open the door..." He knew. But, even if he knew you were here, his voice was still panicked. It killed you that he was hurting... god you're so stupid! Despite your trembling hands, you finally got up to unlock the door. The words "I'm sorry" left your lips in a shaky breath.

"Y-Y/n..."

All he saw was your hunched form shaking violently.

He was quick to wrap his arms around you. "It's ok... everything's ok..."

You hated every single second. Here you were trying to show him you're fine, that you're strong, but instead you're being consoled because of a fear that's completely irrational. Nothing was going to happen, but the thoughts just kept swarming your head that something would and you just broke.
