Crap. The guy wasn't normal. Ritsuka really had opened a can of worms by posting to that stupid bulletin. Why couldn't he ever learn to keep his mouth shut? Whatever Ritsuka said that resonated with the stranger set the man on edge and Ritsuka felt like running before anything bad could happen.

Then, just as suddenly as the tension had descended, it was gone. Ritsuka didn't like the smile though. It wasn't a real one and even with how friendly the stranger was acting now, it wasn't right. Ritsuka wished Soubi were on his bus now, if only to have a reason to get away. "...right. I won't tell anyone else." The muffin lay in his lap and Ritsuka quickly picked it up and stuffed it back into his paper bag. "It's, uh, no problem about the information, but you never told me your name."
