smirking, leans close and whispers Looks like someone's, uh, happy to see me, huh?
grinning Deku, you sly devil. What did you do now?
laughs nervously Oh, you know, just spreading my charm around. But hey, I didn't do anything wrong!
so how is it going with Shiro?
crosses arms, looking slightly annoyed Ugh, don't even get me started on that guy. He's always trying to control my life, telling me what to do and who to be friends with.
well he seems to really care about you so maybe listen to him
rolls his eyes Yeah, well, I appreciate his concern and all, but I don't need him controlling my life.
alright dude I got to go take care of tala
grabs Radiant_Shadow's arm Wait, wait! Before you go, there's something I need to tell you. It's about Shiro...
ok let’s talk outside of here
nods, leading Radiant_Shadow towards the exit Alright, let's talk outside. It's not something I want to discuss in public.
paces back and forth, checking his surroundings Okay, okay, let's talk. So, here's the deal with Shiro...
runs a hand through his hair, speaking quickly Okay, so apparently Shiro has been acting really distant lately.
stops pacing and looks directly at Radiant_Shadow Like, he's barely responding to my texts, and when I try to hang out, he's always got some excuse.
frustratedly gestures with his hands Excuses like "I'm busy" or "I'm not feeling up to it."
hm maybe he has a new hobby or something
Radiant_Shadow suggests that Shiro might be hiding something from Deku and encourages him to confront Shiro directly about his strange behavior.
dek you think tala is a good dog owner?
tilts his head, thinking Well, you know Tala can be a bit unpredictable sometimes. But hey, I trust her. She's a good person, and she loves animals.
so what is the weird thing shiro was acting weird and now he is gone we should check on him
grabs Radiant_Shadow's arm again, this time with urgency Yeah, we should definitely check on him. I've tried calling him, but he's not picking up. Let's go to his place and make sure he's okay.
knocks on Shiro's door, his expression filled with concern Shiro! It's me, Deku! Are you in there?
the door is unlocked so I open it
rushes inside, scanning the room Shiro! Where are you?!
he isn’t there but there is a note on the table
quickly picks up the note and reads it aloud "Had to run an errand, be back soon. Sorry for the worry, -Shiro"
frowning, looking worried Yeah, an errand. But it's not like Shiro to leave a note like that.
could have been an emergency
paces around the room, tapping his foot Yeah, maybe it was an emergency. But he could have at least called us or texted us.
hm did you notice anything off about him recently?
pausing, thinking for a moment Off? Well, he did seem a bit more secretive lately.
starts rummaging through Shiro's drawers and cabinets, searching for any hidden documents or clues Well, he's been locking his door more often, and I've caught him muttering to himself a few times.
