Part: 1
"Three months ago, she met a new friend, and her name was Miku Fujimoto. "
(Ren stared at the two husband and wife, wondering
Why did he say that girls' names like that)
"Miku was a caring girl and a good friend to our daughter, and she was also academically a good student, and she also had dark brown hair and blue eyes that sparked whenever she met up with our Mikae."Fujimoto
"And she was well, exceptionally bright like very bright I'd get blinded by how much she sparkles when she's very excited by something that she wants to do or help with, to the point that this one time it hit me in my face and I walked straight to a wall and hit myself on it in the kitchen just because mikae was teaching her how to cook"Yumine
(They laughed so hard that they even started crying tears of joy)
(Ren forced a chuckle, hoping to blend in, but his confusion must've shown because Yumine' s smile softened)
(While laughing, he could only think what's happening, they were talking about Miku, and suddenly started laughing, and what am I supposed to do, laugh too, yeah, I think that's what I'm supposed to hahahahahah!.., of course,e this weirded the couple up because he sounded like a dying dog or something laughing)
(and they stopped laughing, and Mr. Fujimototo said)
"Ahem!, stop that, you sound weird, and it made us feel weird, so stop because it doesn't sound like you were made to laugh, " Fujimoto
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring the mood down", Ren
"No, you don't have to apologize, you just wanted to join in, but it doesn't mean you should laugh or try to enjoy something you don't get or enjoy, okay?" Fujimoto
(Yumine held him on the shoulder and with a warm smile towards Ren)
"And besides, you had to be there to get the joke, so don't feel bad, k!"Yumine
"Okay, sorry again, Ren
(Ren looked down, feeling bad for ruining their mood)
"Anyways, let's continue," Fujimoto
"Yeah, okay, let's continue, Ren
"They'd grown attached in a month, Fujimoto
Yeah, they are virtually inseparable to the point that Miku would sleep here from time to time", Yumine
"Yeah !ino in monthh after they became friends..."Fujimoto
"The school had a school trip, and Mikae came home in a hurry", Fujimoto
"Obviously happy about the trip, but at that time had just found out over the phone", Yumine
"She told us about the trip, but asked for something
"Fujimoto
"You see, she asked if we could pay the fee for this trip for her and her friends, Miku. "Yumine
"We agree, of course, because we genuinely liked Miku, so we didn't oppose the idea, "Yumine
"So we did it, then a day later, Miku came again as usual to hang out with Mikae. Then I asked her, ' Why didn't your parents pay for your trip?"Yumine
"But what she told me is not what I expected", Yumine
"She told me that she never had parents or knew hers, so she's alone, so she felt bad and told her to come live with us because she already is like family to us, but Miku ran off"Yumine
"But we chased her and caught her, then talked to her, but it seemed that she just never had been accepted anywhere, so hearing those words made her so happy that she ran, and she was supposed to move in with us after the trip"Yumine
(They looked at each other with sad faces)
(Ren looked at them and wanted to ask something, but didn't, but at the same time asked himself, " Where is this going?)
(The couple, Mr. Fujimoto and Mrs. Fujimoto, looked down)
"Then, well..., they went on the trip, "Yumine
"Then Miku suddenly went missing during that trip, so we went to the police to file an investigation on this"
(They both swallowed their spit, and they looked frightened)
"But at that point Mikae started acting weird, like talking to herself and scratching the walls and door of her room, kind of weird", Fujimoto
