On a Rooftop
"Man, why are we even doing this?"
Joshua let out a tired sigh, crouching beside Alice on the rooftop. Below them, a group of Reaper Mafia members were gathered, their voices echoing in the night.
Alice smirked, resting her chin on her palm. "Because, Joshua, what you told me was too good to be true. If you really met someone who could do that, then I need to see it for myself."
She stretched lazily before adding, "And, well… I don't feel like going home right now."
Joshua raised a brow. "Why?"
"Found out I suddenly have three cousins from a long-lost aunt. My mom's making a huge deal out of it, wants me to come home and 'bond' or whatever." Alice rolled her eyes. "So, obviously, I need a solid excuse to disappear for a while."
Joshua gave her a look. "Right. I forgot—you're the rebellious child of your big, fancy family."
Alice's smirk instantly faded. She turned to him, narrowing her eyes. "And when did I ever tell you that?"
