Chapter 6:

Ren and Raku go shopping

Soulmates of loneliness


In the afternoon, Raku felt better and decided to go shopping at the mall with Ren.

Ren took Raku's wheel chair and they calmly left the shelter to spend the afternoon together.

Ren turned around a few times, thinking they were being followed. But seeing that there was no one, he continued on his way.

-Hey Ren. Since you know nurse "Yuki" more than me, why don't you tell me what things she likes? So we can see what to buy as a thank you gift.

Raku took advantage of this moment to try to get Ren to talk, but failed.

Ren and Raku walked past an appliance store, and Ren seeing an air conditioner, immediately pointed at it to reply.

-An air conditio...?

Just at that moment they heard a bang near them, as if someone had fallen.

Raku, leaned close to Ren's ear and whispered.

-Hey Ren... Today I'm letting you run with the wheelchair... I have a feeling that they're following us, and I'm afraid...

Ren nodded at the proposal and began to sprint towards the mall.

A few minutes later they arrived at the mall.

Raku looked at Ren.

-Ren, do you want to take a rest?...

Raku saw that Ren didn't seem tired, besides he was very smiling because he liked running with the wheelchair.

-What a resistance you have Ren... By the way! Can we go to a mobile store first? I want to buy a new case.

She said showing him her mobile.

Ren still seemed a little afraid of the mobile because he didn't understand what it was nor did he know how to use it.

Ren and Raku entered the mobile store in the mall. Ren started to tremble but something caught his eye inside the store.

As Raku looked at the sheaths she lost sight of Ren.

-Ren? Oh, you are there!

Ren was mesmerized by a star-shaped mobile accessory.

-That over there is a mobile accessory, but you don't have a mobile... It's a shame... It could be yours if you had one... Ren?!

Ren disappeared from Raku's side again, and when she turned around, she saw that Ren bought himself a cell phone.

Raku between laughs, grabbed the star-shaped accessory that Ren wanted and one in the shape of a cherry for her, approached and paid.

-I'm going to pay this, Ren. It's my way of thanking you for taking me to the infirmary yesterday. Please also grab a case for your phone, which I will also pay for. Then when we get back I'll show you how to use it.

Ren contentedly hugged Raku and looked at the covers.

Raku while helping him find a cover for Ren, heard Ren laugh for the first time.

-What makes you so funny Ren?

Ren pointed to a case where there was a drawing of a snow woman very similar to the nurse and Raku laughs when he sees that.

-She looks a lot like the nurse, how funny…

After that, she turned to hear the same noise of someone falling, but this time she was accompanied by a voice that whispered "That's already twice, if you keep going like this they're going to discover us".

Ren and Raku looked at each other with a little fear. After that, Ren quickly grabbed the cover that amused him without looking at any other and Raku quickly paid everything to get out of there.

-Quick, let's find something for the nurse and leave, I feel like they're spying on us.

Ren and Raku went to a gift shop and searched through every shelf.

-It would be easier if we knew something about her. I know! I'll see if she has any profiles on the internet.

Raku looked on the social network and searched for the name of the nurse.

-Poor woman, only one person follows her…

All the photos he had of her were of her alone with a very cold face in places that were very cold or related to him cold.

Besides that she with her pale skin and her white hair looked like a real ghost.

-Wow, in the end this woman will be a real snow woman... Wait a minute... This cold expression that sounds familiar to me? Meh... it doesn't matter...

After that, the same sound of someone falling was heard again.

Raku looked at Ren scared because she heard the noise again, but this time the noise was caused by Ren.

-Hey Ren! Are you OK? huh? What do you have in your hand?

Raku saw that Ren had grabbed the perfect gift.

-Cool! Let's go pay it off!

Ren carefully got up and handed the object to Raku so he could grab the wheelchair and move it to the counter.

-Excuse me, we wanted to buy this and please wrap it as a gift.

Ren and Raku half paid for the gift and left the store.

As they left the store they heard someone crying and asking for forgiveness.

-Wow, it seems that there is a girl who has done some mischief.

Ren and Raku left the mall and returned to the shelter.

They went up to their room to leave their things and then went to the infirmary.

Inside the infirmary they would see the nurse Oyuki and the psychologist Chihiro.

-Wow, you must be Raku, it's a pleasure, I'm Chihiro, the shelter's psychologist, let me know if you need anything, I'm next door. And speaking of work, I'm leaving, I have a lot of work.

-Bye, have a nice day.

Raku replied.

Chihiro left and as he entered his office he put his ear to the wall. She was also curious what they were going to give her.

-Nurse "Yuki" we have brought you a thank you gift for what she did for me. We have had a hard time finding something for you, we hope you like it.

-Really, it was not necessary, but thank you very much...

Ren gave him a sphere-shaped object wrapped in gift paper.Oyuki opened it and found a snow globe with a snow woman inside as a gift.

-Wow... What a detail... A snow globe for my table... It's really pretty...

Ren and Raku smiled, believing that he had really liked it, and when they left the infirmary, they closed the door and suddenly they heard the same sound of someone falling, accompanied by laughter coming out of the psychologist's office, accompanied by a voice that It read “What a funnest afternoon I've ever had! It has been worth following them!”.

-Ren thought that whoever was following us has followed us here and it's crazy, we better run to the room.

Ren grabbed Raku's wheelchair and ran into the room.
