Running one hand through his face, Haruki shook his head. "That's not as easy as you think. I've had a bad feeling about this for quite some time. I know when I'm followed, and I know that right now, I am. How am I supposed to stay calm and ease up when I know that someone's watching me while we talk and eat here?" he burst out. As he spoke, his voice became sharper and sharper till he was practically spitting the words out, but though he tried to keep himself calm, it all came out in his eyes and on his face how deeply conflicted he actually was.<br/><br/>He didn't want to let it show. Because of Nyoko... He knew it would trouble her, and it really did - she put her bowl down, and put her arms around him. "Ruki, even if we were followed, we're safe. There's three of us, and two golems. Surely at least one of us would notice if something was really following us." she tried to calm him down, laying her head down onto his shoulder.<br/><br/>However, it didn't do much.<br/>"Someone will notice... That's exactly what we said back then. But even though we noticed, we didn't notice soon enough. Is that what you want? Another<span style="font-style: italic">then</span>?" he asked, letting out a heavy sigh.
