[He was not expecting this. Sure, there were tons of people expressing their confusion on that app, but his brother was one of them? Had they talked?]

You too, huh?

[torching]

[ oh, god no--they got his brother, too? suddenly, mako's walking faster, feeling a sense of panic rise in his chest. ]

yoshio
do not go outside tonight. i want you to stay inside for the rest of the evening. if you need anything from the convenience store or something, i'm going with you.
come home immediately after school/swimming practice. i don't want you wandering around alone.

[Mako's tone changes instantly, even over text. He texts back as soon as the reply arrives -- he'll be worrying, won't he?]

Don't worry, okay? I'm already home. I didn't have practice, so I just went home. You're on the way back?

[torching]

yeah. i'm three blocks away.
i don't want you to just do any of that stuff today; i need you to come home right away every day until the 21 days are up.
tell that to minako, too. i don't want either of you getting hurt.

[forsteri]

I will. I haven't seen her yet, though.

You have your keys, right? I'm going to leave the door locked.

[torching]

yeah, i do. leave it locked. give me ten minutes.

[forsteri]

Okay.
