Reiya made sure to have a good night rest. One perk of living in Japan was at her age she was able to live on her own, but she did live near her aunt and uncle's place for security reasons. She thought of staying with them initially, but she was already independent and she wanted to challenge herself to take care of things. While her mother's brother's family didn't live in Akita, they did live in a nearby town and helped her move in. They also did their part to keep her grandparents off her back. In fact, both of her late mother's siblings have told her they also are on great terms with their parents too, but put up with them.
Reiya did her morning yoga, took a shower, and made her breakfast. Having worked in the vet industry she was used to early hours. She checked the weather outside and saw it was snowing quite a bit. Sighing, she got all of her gear together before putting on her thick coat and snow boots. Seeing the time, she would just walk today since it was early. She had actually woke up earlier than usual and figured it was because she was worried about Tora, recalling what she heard yesterday.
Stepping outside, she start walking and headed for school, enjoying the silence of the morning. Then like clockwork when she got closer to school, the snow stopped and the temperature risen up. Stopping near a bus stop, she changed her shoes and took off her coat, putting them in a bag she carried.
When she got to school, she passed by the high school parking lot and saw the two new students and Tora getting out of a car. When did Tora start taking rides? He and Velonix must have gotten on close enough terms for her to start bringing him. She was contemplating greeting them as she got closer to interceting with them, but then saw Tora's condition. Eyes widening, she makes a beeline for the trio.
"Good morning. Tora, what happened to you? Did Kenji . . . do this?"
Concern etched in her voice as a million things raced in her head.
