Chapter 66: Darkness Ahead

Hisashi interjected hastily, "We're not!" Hanae responded swiftly, "It's okay. The doctor said you need care, and I know you live alone. My parents aren't home, and you can leave by tomorrow."

Subaru reassured, "Yeah, don't worry. I'll take care of him." Hanae added, "Hisashi, I'm just trying to help you. Nothing bad will happen, i promise"

Hisashi's voice cut through the tension, "Hanae, stop the car!" Hanae turned to face him, their eyes locked in a silent exchange.

After a moment, Hanae relented, "Alright." She instructed the driver, "Take us to Hisashi's house." With a nod from the driver, the car changed its course.

As the car came to a stop, Hisashi and Subaru exited. Hisashi turned to Hanae, expressing gratitude, "Thank you for everything. We're even now."

Hanae nodded and instructed the driver, "Let's move." The car pulled away, leaving Subaru and Hisashi behind.
