When the quadruplets got home, Akira ran into the elevator immediately.
Akari: What's wrong with her?
Aoi: I don't know.
Asami: Hey! Akira? Aren't we supposed to take the lift together?!
Akari: She can't hear you.
Asami: I know, I just wanted to see if she'll hear my voice cause I can't stand here waiting for the elevator.(Whining) It'll take forever before it gets back.
Aoi: Thirty seconds isn't forever.
Asami: Says you, but either way, I have important things to do, so I value my time and I don't waste it.
Aoi: I now see why people call you drama queen.
Akari: Always overreacting.
Aoi: And rude! I didn't really mean it that way but you pushed me to the edge.
Asami: Hmmmm? Where have you been hiding this feistiness?
Aoi: Uh! (rolls her eyes).
Later, the quadruplets settled in to their rooms. And Aoi went to see Akira in her room.
Aoi:(Knocks on the door).
Akira:(Angrily) Go away!
Aoi: Why does she sound angry? What's she mad about?(She muttered to herself).
During dinner...
Hisashi: Where's Akira?
Akari: Hmm?
Hisashi: Isn't she coming for dinner?
Asami: We don't know.
Hisashi: Aoi? You know anything?
Aoi: No, but i- nothing. I don't know anything about it.
Asami: Leave her alone. When she starves to the point of death, she'll come down herself.
Just then, Aoi stepped on Asami's foot hard, and she let out a loud scream.
Asami:(Screams) Ouch!
Hisashi: Is there any problem, Asami?
Asami: Nothing, just cramps.
Akari:(Confused) You're on P.P too?
Asami: I guess?
Aoi: Well, I'm going to take Akira's food to her room.
Then Aoi took a tray of food to Akira's room.
Aoi:(Knocks).
Akira: Come in (She said while wiping her tears).
Aoi:(Comes in) Hello. Are you hungry?
Akira: Yes, I'm starving.
Aoi put the tray of food on the bed and Akira picked up the chopsticks, but before she could eat, Aoi asked...
Aoi: What's going on, Akira? Why are your eyes red?
Akira:(No response).
Aoi: You can tell me anything and-
Immediately, Akira burst into tears and Aoi comforted her and she stopped crying.
Aoi: Now please can you tell me what's happening.
Akira: Promise me, you won't tell anyone.
Aoi: I promise. Now tell me.
Akira: I- I- I... I like Chinatsu. And I kept on making excuses not to go get milkshakes with you guys, because I was... jealous! I couldn't stand seeing Chinatsu with a guy. That's why I acted like I didn't know that dad had uplifted the indoors rule and said I was on P.P because I didn't want to go but you forced me to, so I agreed. But when we got there, I couldn't take it anymore, I wanted to escape- I wanted to runaway. So I decided to pick-up an unnecessary fight with Akari to make us leave the restaurant.
Aoi: I encourage love but I don't personally encourage same-gender romantic relationships. Even the Bible says it isn't good. It's unholy- It's a sin. Leviticus 20:13 says "If a man has sexual relations with another man as he does with a woman, these two men have done a hateful sin. They must be put to death. They have brought death upon themselves."
Akira: I just have a crush on her, it's not like I'm gonna get intimate with her (She said angrily).
Aoi: I know, I was-
Akira:(Interrupts) Just keep your Bible verses to yourself (She said angrily).
Aoi: You know what the Bible says about anger? Ephesians 4:26 says "In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry." Remember Romans 6:23 says "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Akira: What does Romans 6:23 have to do with this conversation?
Aoi: I'm just telling you because I don't want you to commit a great sin, cause the price for sin is death.
Akira: How am I committing a great sin?
Aoi: Yes, you are. Because you like Chinatsu
Akira: I just like her, nothing more!
Aoi: I'm just warning you cause like can lead to alot of things.
Akira: Like what?
Aoi: If you like Chinatsu, you'd want to develop a close and supportive relationship with her-
Akira:(Interrupts) You mean friendship?
Aoi: Yes.
Akira: Well that isn't bad.
Aoi: You think it isn't, but it is. Well let me introduce you to the 5 stages of like. Stage 1 is friendship, if you like Chinatsu, you'd want to develop a close and supportive relationship with her.
Akira: You said that earlier.
Aoi: Let me finish. Stage 2 is increased interaction, after stage 1, you'd want to spend more time with her.
Akira: How can I spend time with her when I'm too shy to even come close to her?
Aoi: Let me finish. Stage 3 is emotional connection, after stage 2, you'd feel a deeper emotional bond towards Chinatsu. Stage 4 is attraction, after stage 3, you'd notice her and feel drawn to her physically and personality-wise, and you'd find interest in whatever she does and want to learn more about her. And now the final stage, eroticism. In this stage you'll start having sexual feelings and desires for her which will lead to multiple dates, hugs, kisses and finally... intimacy.
Akira: First of all, what?! Second of all, how did you know all these things? And lastly, why did you learn all these things?
Aoi: It was also a mystery to me. Well eat up before your food gets cold.
Akira: Thanks for the food.
Aoi: You're welcome. Good night.
Akira: Goodnight.
Aoi: Just don't commit sin, okay?
Akira: I'll try.
Aoi left Akira's room and went to her room.
When she got there, she took her bath and changed into her pajamas. After some minutes, Hisashi came into her room to put her to bed.
Hisashi:(Knocks on the door).
Aoi: Come in.
Hisashi:(Enters) Where have you been?
Aoi: I just got back from Akira's room.
Hisashi: Okay. How has school been? Did anyone mess with you?
Aoi: Nope. But a guy asked me out, though.
Hisashi: What did you tell him?
Aoi: I told him no.
Hisashi: Did anything else happen?
Aoi: No, it was all good.
Hisashi: Okay, go to bed now. Good night.
Aoi: Good night (Turns off the lamp).
Hisashi:(Leaves the room).
