Akira and Ayaka burst through the school's side entrance, both looking slightly disheveled despite their best efforts to appear normal. They'd run the last two blocks, and Akira's shirt was still damp with sweat, though whether from the run or the earlier activities, he wasn't about to clarify.
"There you are!" Rina appeared from around a corner looking relieved and frustrated. "They've been calling your name for the past twenty minutes! Where the hell were you?"
"I'll explain later," Akira said quickly. "Where am I supposed to go?"
"Nurse's office. Agent Sato is waiting with the testing equipment." She grabbed his arm. "Akira, what's going on? You look like you just ran a marathon."
"Something like that. Thanks for covering, Rina. I owe you."
He left her standing there with Ayaka, both women watching him go with concerned expressions.
