I threw up the torque that went into Almark's room, which was a killer landscape room.

Ain't said the same thing before.

Almark says, Torque laughs with his nose, I guess.

"So?"

Torque took the liberty of sitting in the chair, putting his feet together and looking at Almark.

"What happened? Talk to me."

"Yeah."

Almark sits on his bed facing the torque.

"But how did you know I was worried?"

"You know what I mean."

Torque laughed spirally.

"Throughout the day, you look like you're taking off your shell. Instead of the cursed swordsman, it's like a cursed beast."

"You looked like that."

Almark scratches his cheeks with his fingers.

"That's embarrassing."

What the hell are you talking about?

Torque laughed distorting his mouth.

"So, what happened?"

That's what I say, I encourage you to talk with your jaw.

"Talk to Maia briefly before she cleans up dinner."

"Yeah. Actually."

Almark spoke.

That Wendy has suddenly started building walls on herself the last three days.

That I have no idea what caused it.

That I haven't been able to practice the play properly either because of it.

"Han."

Torque laughs with his nose.

"Something to think about, something like that."

"That may be true for you, but it's important to me. I can't stand Wendy hating me."

When Almark says, Torque laughs bitterly.

"Is it the North Stream that you say that without any shame?"

"I don't know if it's North Stream."

Almark shakes his neck.

"Why are you embarrassed?"

"Well, then you, you idiot, be honest that you might have hated a woman."

Torque shook his head like he had rethought.

"I stopped, apparently. I'm going out for dinner."

"Oh, why not? Why don't you come talk to me?"

"I told you to talk to me, but I didn't tell you I was gonna talk to you."

Torque stood up.

"How dare a woman follow me with her strength? So if you're a woman who doesn't follow you, I'm sure that's the extent of it."

Make a face to that word where Almark gets no guidelines.

"What's the extent of it?"

Torque pounds his tongue.

"So I feel like I think of you. I don't want you to tell me."

Then I'll tell Wendy to follow me.

"Whoa. Say so."

Torque snorts.

"Yeah. Okay."

Almark nodded.

"So, where do I take Wendy?"

"What?"

Torque peels my eyes.

"What?"

"Yeah, 'cause"

Almark makes it right.

"When you tell me to follow you, I'm taking Wendy somewhere."

"Well, that's you."

Torque frowns and gets stuck in words.

"That's not what I meant by following you. I know you mean follow me where you go."

"Where I'm going"

Now Almark frowns.

"Where am I going?"

You know what?

Answer with a face where the torque is likely to bite.

"Go anywhere in the ocean, in the woods."

"The sea or the woods. If you follow me there, Wendy won't hate me."

"Well, then you do. There's no such thing as a woman going out with a man you don't like."

"I see. So is that."

Almark nods.

"Right. Follow me, huh?"

Can you say it?

Almark thinks.

Wendy, follow me.

Sounds a lot great.

Wendy, will you follow me?

That's about it I might say.

However, wouldn't it be weird to say that all of a sudden?

"But wouldn't Wendy be surprised if I said that suddenly"

"You, you're not gonna ask me from one to ten."

Torque sighs.

"If you're worried, I'm gonna say something crazy right now, but fuck off. That's right, over there. 'Cause, oh, you know, this guy's gonna say weird things."

"Sure. I wouldn't be surprised."

Almark nods.

"That's great."

I look like I don't like torque in that word.

"Don't praise me for this."

"Torque, have you ever told anyone?"

When Almark asked, Torque blushed a little.

"Hey."

"Don't you? Then how do you know that?"

"Uh-oh."

Torque flashed his face.

"That's what it is, anyway."

"Yeah."

Almark nods.

"Really? But it was helpful. Thanks."

"Whoa. Enough."

On his fed up face torque, Almark shakes his head, no.

"I'm sorry, can you just tell me one more thing"

"What the fuck?"

Torque obviously looks like a pain in the ass, but Almark doesn't mind hitting the torque with the question he cares most about.

"How did Wendy suddenly get cold three days ago?"

I don't know. I don't know.

Torque looked frightened.

You don't know what I'm talking about.

That's what I don't know.

Almark looks pitiful.

"None of them are like causes, not causes. Thinking about it makes me less and less understand."

Torque sighed and shook his head.

"What have you guys always been together for?"

"For what?"

"Don't you know that even if you shut up?"

Almark is annoyed by the words.

"... that's true."

Almark nodded.

"You're absolutely right. I was with Wendy so much, you still didn't know anything about her."

"Oh, you're right. All right."

Torque nodded happily.

"Wouldn't it have been nice to just figure that out? I don't know anything about him yet. He said it was a blur."

Torque laughs and hangs his hand on the door.

"Exactly. Let's go. We're running out of rice."

"I'm coming too."

Almark also stood up.

But while holding the door knob, the torque stopped the movement.

"What's up, Torque"

Almark asks.

"Dinner's gonna be cleaned up."

"... wait a minute"

Torque suddenly turned around.

"You just said Wendy's attitude changed three days ago."

"Yeah."

Almark nods.

"Look, Nelson and Norish bumped out of the classroom during practice for the play, from the next day"

"... I knew it. then."

Torque's eyes got rough.

"Is there a cause"
