"Is there somewhere we can stay for a while?" Nao asked Ryo as he rubbed his arm. "Tou-san might send people to look for us and....."
Kin frowned before looking around at the group.
"There's two spare rooms upstairs, right Ryo-san?" Ichiro asked his boss.

Hours then passed after that. They were able to stay in a room while Yokoshima made some calls. The day bled out into the night and Nao found himself walking back from the nearby shopping center.
Walking inside, he headed straight to the bathroom and locked himself there. He looked at the mirror, taking out his piercings one by one before grabbing what he bought from the shop and stepped into the shower.
It took an hour but soon he stepped out, hair back to black and face cleaner than it's been in months. When he came out, Naito was there waiting.
The older paused and stared. ".....Nao?"
"What?" Nao asked flatly before looking around, realizing that everyone in the room was now staring at him. He frowned. "What?" he asked again.
