[ It's like each and every sound from Shoto's side of the phone is amplified. Each wavering breath, the fall of his voice into a whisper, the broken sound that he wasn't used to hearing from his friend. It was enough to make Yuta tremble with sorrow. ]

Y-yea, it's me Shoto-kun, it's Yuta. I'm alright, I swear.

[ There was a happiness hidden in his tone, something that bubbled up to the surface despite the glaringly obviousness melancholy of the situation. ]

Oh, um let me see... Hold on a moment okay? I don't... I don't want you running into a dangerous situation or anything... I don't trust this place enough after what happened.

[ Classic Yuta, putting his friend first. But it was true, it was too good to be true in fact, he wasn't going to risk something happening to either of them. ]
