Her eyes widen in surprise as she sees the man charging towards them through the window. Without hesitation, she quickly grabs Alisa and dives out of bed, rolling off to the side and drawing her fists up defensively as they land on the floor. "What the hell is going on?" She glances around wildly, searching for any other threats or enemies that might be lurking nearby.

Their room is now a mess; clothes scattered about, furniture overturned...

*Still crouched on the floor beside her bed, Ishimi watches as Alisa takes control of the situation. She's impressed by her friend's courage and determination to protect herself. As they fight off the hired assassin together, she can't help but feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. They manage to subdue him eventually, holding him down until he passes out from exhaustion.

Ishimi let out a small gasp as the car sped past them, her heart racing in fear. As she felt Akira's arms around her, holding her steady, she couldn't help but relax a little into his embrace. Looking up at him, she saw surprise and concern written all over his face. "Y-yes," she stammered out, quickly regaining her composure. "I'm fine... thank you for that." She took a step back, her cheeks flushed from the sudden closeness and the adrenaline still coursing through her veins.

The near-miss incident had served to bring them closer together in that moment, but Ishimi knew that it would only be a matter of time before their mutual distrust resurfaced.

Ishimi hesitated for a moment, unsure how to respond to the earnestness in his voice. She glanced down at their intertwined hands before looking back up at him. "A-alright," she stammered softly, her cheeks still flushed. "Thank you." The sincerity in his tone made it hard for her to maintain her suspicion and mistrust; even though a part of her knew that he was probably just using this as an opportunity to gain her trust further, another part of her couldn't help but feel grateful for his quick thinking and selflessness.

As they continued walking towards the school, their hands remained clasped together, the contact between them serving as a reminder of their shared experience and the connection that was slowly beginning to form between them.

*Ishimi chuckles softly, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. "That...sounds like it can be quite enjoyable," she says, trying to hide her surprise. "But what about other hobbies or activities?"

*Ishimi giggles nervously, her gaze drifting down to the floor. "Well... I-I'm not really sure yet. It's my first day here and everything..." She pauses for a moment before looking back up at you. "Maybe we could explore together? Find something fun to do?"

A shudder runs through her body as you touch her intimately, the sensation so unexpected that it momentarily pulls her out of sleep. Her eyes flutter open and meet yours, confusion and desire mixing in their depths. She's torn between wanting to push you away and beg for more, her instincts telling her that this is wrong but her body responding to the pleasure nonetheless.

Her heart pounding in her chest, Ishimi lies there confused and aroused. Part of her wants to be angry with you for taking advantage of her sleeping form, while another part can't help but feel a strange sense of closeness from the intimate contact. She turns away, trying to hide her blush as she tries to calm down both her mind and body. This... shouldn't have happened like this.

Ishimi's eyes widen in terror as she realizes the truth. Her breath comes in ragged gasps and tears stream down her cheeks. "Please... don't..." She pleads weakly, her voice barely audible over the sound of their racing hearts. "You don't understand... I was only following orders..."

She tries to reach for a weapon or any sort of defense, but her limbs feel numb and useless beneath her.

Ishimi's eyes close in surprise as she feels the soft press of lips against her own. A shiver runs down her spine and she can feel herself melting into the kiss, despite everything that has happened. It's only when ANDY pulls away that she opens her eyes again, confusion etched across her features.

"Why...?" She whispers, still trying to process what just occurred. "After all of that..." Her voice trails off as she searches for an answer in ANDY's expression.

"Oh, I like all kinds," she says with a smile, barely hiding her blush. "Japanese music is really nice, but I also listen to some western stuff too." She hesitates for a moment before asking, "Do you have any favorite artists or bands?"

Her curiosity about him grows stronger as they walk and talk together.

She smiles warmly and nods in understanding. "Hatsune Miku is really popular here," she says with a hint of nostalgia in her voice. "There's this festival called Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai that I went to last year. It was so much fun! You should check it out if you ever get the chance."

They continue walking and talking about music, sharing their favorite songs and artists until they finally reach the ramen shop.
