An hour after hanging up with Damien, Aoni found himself sitting in a booth at a café about 5 miles away from his dorm.
Sitting across from him was, of course, a bronze-skinned, pink-haired young man.
"Damn bro, I really didn't think you'd choose college, impressive!" Damien said with a teasing smile as he took a sip of his overly expensive latte.
"Well, some of us didn't get infinite choices; it was either school or the government, so I picked the lesser of two evils." Aoni spat while sipping from his equally expensive caffeinated beverage.
"Hey, hey, I was only kidding; there's no need to rub that in my face. Anyway, I am going to school, too, just in the next town over, so we can totally hang out like this from now on. OH OH, maybe I can come over and chill at your place."
"…"
"What?" Damien asked upon seeing the weirded-out look on Aoni's face.
