"What do you mean you're leaving Fling Posse?! You can't do that!"

Dice was on his knees, tugging on Gentaro's clothes in an attempt to stop him from leaving, even though it did not look like Gentaro had any plans on moving. Ramuda was sitting in his chair, legs on his desk and arms crossed with a lollypop in his mouth as he stared at him with an angry expression.

"Dice is right. You can't do that." the usual playfulness in his voice was struggling to show itself. "I have decided you would be better off without me. My verses have been lacking lately." Gentaro's expression was completely unreadable, showing no sign of sadness, nor happiness for that matter. "They have..? I haven't noticed anything!" Dice looks up at him with teary eyes before burying his face into Gentaro's hakama.

Ramuda suddenly jumps out of his chair, stomping his way towards the rest of his Posse before aggressively pointing his lollypop at Gentaro's face. "You better say this is a lie, or I'll make you say it." he seems to have given up on hiding his uncharacteristic low voice, glaring daggers at Gentaro while he speaks through clenched teeth. Giving them a long sigh, Gentaro finally lets out a mischievous laugh before saying his famous line.

"Of course, that was just a lie."

The park was dressed in beautiful red and orange colours as the autumn wind gently ruffled Gentaro's hair. He was sitting on a bench, a single piece of paper lying in his lap as he lightly let his pen repeatedly hit the paper. It was just a lie; he had said so himself. There was no reason for him to leave Fling Posse. Just because he had not been able to come up with a new story in months did not mean it was a valid reason for him to suddenly leave his friends.

He leaned his head backwards, staring into the clear autumn sky as a strong wind suddenly took hold of his completely blank paper. Not giving him enough time to react, the wind brutally blows the paper away, letting it glide along the overgrown path before finally getting caught on something. Or more like someone. You bend down to pick up whatever it was that got itself caught on your legs, only to slightly jump as a pair of deep, green eyes greet you as you get yourself back up.

"Is this yours?" you gently smile at him, handing over his paper. "Ah, yes. Thank you so much." he accepts his paper back before staring deeply into your eyes. A little overwhelmed by his tense expression, you try to lighten the mood by talking to him. "So, what are you doing with that paper?" you ask, trying your best to stare equally as intense into his eyes as he is to yours. Catching on to his strange behaviour, he backs away before giving you a sly smile.

"I am writing down my evil plans on how to destroy Shibuya." you raise a brow at him as you smile at his answer. "Really? It doesn't look like you've done a lot of planning so far." pointing towards his clear paper, you laugh as he quickly hugs it against his chest. "Of course!" he says, quickly regaining himself and getting his mysterious, yet intriguing expression back. "I cannot just write such evil plans in normal ink, obviously I have used invisible ink." You stare at him, almost feeling convinced, until you notice the ink pen behind his ear. "What's this then?"

You grab the pen, waving it playfully in front of his face. "This looks like a normal ink pen to me!" he laughs, failing as he tries to take his pen back from you. "Well of course it does. It is a disguise after all. I cannot have people know so easily that I own an invisible ink pen. There would be no point in it if everyone knew, would it not?" he smiles at you as you give him his pen back. "Okay then, mystery man, just answer me this one thing though..." you say as you lean in closer to him.

"If it's supposed to be so secretive, why would you tell me your plan?"

Gentaro laughs in defeat as he doesn't find the strength in himself to continue lying. "You are right, young lady, that was just a lie." he lets out a tired sigh before making his way back to the bench he was sitting on. Obviously intrigued by this strange stranger, you follow him, and to his surprise, join him on the bench. "You can't just leave without telling me the truth!" you laugh, leaning forward as you rest your head in your hands. As a single, red leaf suddenly floats down onto your head, Gentaro picks it up by the stem and holds it towards the gleaming sunlight.
