Ryo pretends not to notice. He didn't understand anything that was going on. He wanted to talk to someone. But he didn't have anyone. Hakeem and Ryan were only kinda his friends. Saint was hurt and he was what he needed advise on. And then there was Shadow who kept being very touchy feely nice one second and mean as hell the next. He wanted to know if he was loved...or if he was just having wishful thinking. Yet...he honestly didn't really wish to know the answer. He wanted to live in his happy illusion for as long as he could. He gets his tools out. Starts up his laptop. And gets lost in putting together the computer chip and the battery and other teeny tiny parts for operation to happen he'd need. It was a slow yet relaxing work for him.
