@fewer it's about what i was trying to write myself. the whole chain of events leading to this feels believable, and i'm sure that these things unfortunately happens IRL.
as for Kousuke, I feel like the timing fits. between the time he got her call, then her riding that train, while he was there letting his smoke burn out, then decides to go, has a little chat with Miya, then hops into a taxi. he undoubtedly made the connection quickly, between the announcer calls he heard over the phone, and the fact that she went for the same exact place they once went together, he probably went for the right spot right away.
@RoboMochi and everyone. maybe it's just me, but i feel like her instinct to just freeze is totally believable. she's been beaten into submission by her mother and her reaction to anything stressful seems to be to freeze. i was once in a similar (yet much less dramatic) situation and my instinct was to jump out of a bed, put on my pants, but then i stood at the edge of the room, my back against the wall. i was hoping things wouldn't escalate, but i wasn't feeling like i could escape if things turned bad.
