Chapter 10

Mimi was off the Doll Chip and it had been a couple of weeks since we went to the club the first time. We had been busy with jobs and Mimi had been getting to know Night City better. After Mimi asked every night about it, we finally decided to go out to another club.

“Are we really going out to a club again?” Mimi asked with excitement.

“Yes, we’re going out tonight.” I said.

“Can it be a strip club? I read that those are very fun.”

“Sure, we can go to a strip club. A new one just opened up in North Side.”

“Yay.” Mimi clapped and ran off.

“Where is she going?” Kana asked.

“To get ready,” I replied. “And you should too.”

A couple of hours later, we were in line to enter the new strip club that had opened up. Mimi was wearing a short pink dress with black knee-high stockings with a pair of heels. She was wearing a cute black choker. Kana was wearing a red dress with a slit down the side that showed off her thigh and a matching pair of heels.

“What is this place?” Kana asked.

“Oh did I forget to tell you? It’s a strip club.” I said.

“Really? I thought they were opening a new dance club.”

“Nope, this is a strip club. Mimi picked it.”

“Oh.” Kana said, a bit surprised.

After waiting in line for half an hour, it was our turn to go inside.

“Hello, welcome to Club Zendee.” The bouncer said as he opened the door. “Please enjoy yourselves and be safe.”

“Thanks.” We said and entered.

Inside the club was dark. I could faintly make out a bunch of tables scattered around the outside of the room. The stage was lit up bright with neon lights which made the floor and crowd in front of them quite dark.

There was a huge stage at the end of the club, where a group of petite, young girls were dancing. They were completely nude, with their smooth skin glistening under the lights. Their firm tits bounced and jiggled as they danced and twerked. Some of the girls had tattoos, piercings, and even colorful hair. They looked like they were having the time of their lives, and they seemed to be enjoying the attention of the crowd below them.

“Wow.” Mimi said and started walking toward the stage.

Kana and I followed behind her.

As we got closer to the stage, I could see the crowd that formed around the dancers more clearly. People were standing around the sage cheering the dancers on. At the same time, the guys were stroking their cocks and the girls were playing with their pussies. Some of them were even fucking each other right next to the stage.

One of the dancing teens had her pussy in the face of a man who was standing on the ground. She was dancing and grinding her wet slit against his face, and he was eagerly licking her juices. Another dancer started squirting her juices onto a girl’s face who was jerking off below her. One other dancer was squatting on the edge of the stage, with her legs spread wide open. She was fingering herself and showing off her wet pussy to the crowd. Some of the other stage dancers were bending over so people from the crowd could lick their slits while they kept dancing.

Mimi stood in awe of the dancers, mesmerized by their moves.

“They are so pretty.” She said.

“Let’s find a table.” I said.

We found a table in the back of the room and sat down. Mimi was still transfixed by the dancing teens on the stage.

“This place is amazing.” Mimi smiled. “Is there a lot of clubs like this in America?”

“I think there are a few.” Kana said. “Most cities have them. There’s no law against nudity, so clubs like this can pop up pretty easily.”

“Why are all the dancers girls?” Mimi asked.

“They’re not. See?” I said and pointed.

A guy was dancing around the stage as his hard cock swung around. He danced over to the edge and pointed a a girl in the crowd. He got on his knees and she walked closer to him. He pointed at his cock and threw his hands in the air to keep the crowd going. She took his cock in her mouth and started to suck him. He grabbed her head and thrust into her and kept his dance movements going. She took his cock deep as he face fucked her. After a few seconds of thrusting, he pushed her off and came all over her face. The crowd erupted into more cheering.

“Oh wow.” Mimi said.

The male dancer approached one of the female dancers and grabbed her tits. He bent her down and started fucking her. His cock slid into her easily. They both kept dancing as he fucked her. She turned to each side of the crowd and gave them a wave. The male dancer slapped her ass a few times and then she stood back up. They kept dancing as they fucked. He pulled out of her and the crowd cheered. He turned towards the other side of the crowd and stroked his cock.

“Do the dancers always fuck like this?” Mimi asked.

“No, usually it’s just dancing. But I guess they are trying to get this place popular.” I said.

“Do they pay them for the sex or are they volunteers?”

“Both.” the waitress said as she handed out glasses of water to us.

“What does that mean?” Kana asked.

“It means that they are getting paid but they are also volunteers. They didn’t hire anyone to dance here permanently. Anyone can go see the bouncer at the back of the stage entrance to be assessed. If they approve, they allow you into the back where you have to sign a waver then you can strip and get on stage. They pay a flat rate but they get tips as well. That’s what keeps it interesting for the dancers.”

“So the dancers just walk up and fuck each other?” I asked.

“Only if they check a box on the waver allowing other dancers to touch you. It increases the flat rate if you do.”

“This sounds fun.” Mimi said.

“You should two should try it.” the waitress pointed at Kana and Mimi. “I wish I had the courage to do it.”

“No way.” Kana shook her head.

“Why not?” Mimi asked. “I’ve never danced like that before. I might be good at it.”

“There’s a lot of gross guys out there.” Kana cringed.

“So? They can’t touch us unless we let them.”

“But it’s embarrassing.” Kana blushes

“Come on, it’s only for a little bit.” Mimi begged.

“Fine.” Kana sighed.

“You’ll dance with me?” Mimi smiled.

“I’ll give it a shot.”

“Yay.” Mimi cheered and stood up. “Where do we sign up?”

“Over there.” the waitress said and pointed to a doorway.

“Okay, come on.” Mimi said and tugged on Kana’s arm.

“Stay safe Kana.” I said as she left.

“I’ll be careful.” She called out as she was dragged away.

They walked over to the doorway and disappeared. A few minutes later, the DJ called out the next set of dancers.

“Now joining the stage, Karamel and Mini!”

The music started and a bunch of cheering broke out.

The two girls that came to the club with me walked out onto the stage completely naked except for the heels they wore to the club. Kana looked beautiful and sexy. Her body was slender and her tits were perky. I watched as her cute little ass strutted across to the center of the stage. She smiled nervously and I waved at her. She looked a bit happier and waved back at me.

Mimi, on the other hand, was full of confidence. She had a mischievous smile on her face. She was rubbing her small tits which made her nipples were hard. Her pussy was clean shaved and glistening in the neon light.

They improvised some dances for a while and the crowd seemed to enjoy them. The crowd was cheering and throwing tips on the stage. Kana seemed to be getting into it more and was starting to have a bit more fun. Mimi, on the other hand, was really working the crowd. She bent over and shook her ass, and started touching herself. She played with her clit and moaned. Then she laid down on her back and spread her legs. She was fingering herself and the crowd was loving it.

After a while, their last song ended and they stopped dancing. The crowd was going wild. People were throwing money and waving it in the air.

“Karamel and Mini, give us a kiss.” The DJ yelled into the microphone.

Mimi looked at Kana and smiled. She leaned in and kissed Kana. The crowd roared with excitement. Tips were thrown onto the stage and the girls picked them up and gathered them together. Mimi was bending over away from the crowd so they could look into her asshole. Kana was collecting the tips while looking into the crowd. More and more tips were being thrown at Mimi.

“Looks like these new girls are a hit.” the DJ laughed. “Let’s give them a round of applause.”

The crowd cheered.

“Now, I hope you enjoyed Karamel and Mini. Give them one more round of applause as they exit the stage.”

They walked off the stage and returned to our table a few minutes later wearing their clothes again. Mimi was back in her Pink dress with the stocking and the choker. and Kana was in her slim red dress.

“How was it?” I asked.

“It was kind of fun, I don’t know if I could do that again though.” Kana blushed.

“I liked it.” Mimi giggled. “I made a lot of money.”

“Yeah, you did.” I laughed.

“Can I do it again sometime?” Mimi asked.

“Maybe.” I said.

We had a few drinks and relaxed for a while. Mimi kept glancing over at the stage.

“Do you want to go dance again?” I asked.

“I want to go dance in the crowd.” She replied.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, it’ll be fun.”

“It’s your free time, you can do it if you want.” I smiled.

“Yay, thanks.” She hugged me.

“Be careful, and have fun.” Kana said.

“I will.” She smiled and ran off.

A few seconds later, Mimi was in the middle of the crowd. She was dancing in her heels and her pink dress was hiking up more and more. She was grinding on the guys and the girls. She was rubbing her tits on the people around her. She was playing with her pussy and moaning. She was getting tips from the crowd who remembered her from on stage and she let them grope her.

“Looks like she’s having a lot of fun.” Kana laughed. “She looks like a real slut out there.”

“Do you think she’s being safe?”

“Well, I’m sure they have some kind of safeguard system in place. Plus I think people will keep their hands to themselves if you don’t give them permission. And even if someone is touching her without permission, I think the bouncers would step in if things got too bad.

“Yeah, you’re probably right.” I leaned back and watched.

After a few minutes of watching Mimi dance, she came back to our table. She was dripping sweat and breathing heavily.

“I’m thirsty.” She said and sat down.

“Here.” Kana said and handed her a glass of water.

“Thanks.”

“How was it?” I asked.

“Really fun.” She replied and drank the water. “The people are really nice. When they had to cum they pointed away from me.”

“That’s great. Are you done?”

“Yeah, for now.” She laughed.

We sat and watched the dancers for a while. A group of male dancers had started to fuck one of the female dancers. One of them fucked her pussy while she sucked another guy’s cock. He had his cock buried inside her mouth and was grabbing her hair. He was fucking her face roughly. Her tits were bouncing back and forth as they pounded into her holes.

“I wish I had tits like her.” Mimi said. “Mine are too small.”

“You’re fine.” Kana laughed. “Your boobs are perfect. You don’t need big tits to have fun.”

“I guess.” She shrugged.

“Well, mine are about the same size are yours,” Kana said and placed her hands on her chest. “I like my tits just the way they are.”

“But hers are bigger.” Mimi pointed at the stage.

“And? Yours are cute and perky. That’s more important than the size. And you’re not even flat. They’re a decent size.”

“Maybe.” Mimi sighed.

“Well, I don’t mind your little tits.” I laughed.

“See, Cell loves your tits. That’s all that matters.”

“Maybe you’re right.” Mimi smiled.

The men on stage started cumming. One was unloading into her mouth while another was pumping his cum deep into her pussy. She swallowed the load in her mouth but he kept cumming and it flowed out of her mouth as she tried to keep up. The man behind her pulled out and let his cum drip out of her pussy. He aimed his cock at her and let out more cum all over her ass and back.

“That’s a lot of cum.” Mimi said.

“They probably have Mr Stud’s installed.” I said.

“What’s that?” Mimi asked.

“Its a cyber upgrade for a cock. It gives the user a lot more stamina, the ability to cum longer and harder, and it can increase the size slightly and boost or lower their sensitivity. There are several versions of the mod available. There’s even a version that has the option to ejaculate different colored cum.” I explained to her.

“Oh I think I have heard of those in Japan. They are illegal to get over there.”

“You can buy a lot of things over here. It’s all legal but it’s not cheap, so only rich people can afford it. Someone could try to find one on the black market, but those are risky.”

“How much does it cost normally?”

“Usually 25,000 eddies for the basic package.”

“And how would you know that, Cell?” Kana questioned and nudged me with her elbow.

“I’ve just heard stories about them,” I replied and gave her a playful pushback.

“Right.” Kana smirked. “I don’t think you need one anyways.” She winked.

After we finished our drinks, we decided to head home. We had a great night and we were tired. Mimi was smiling as we left. She had made a lot of money and her confidence was through the roof.

“You know, I’m not ashamed of my tits anymore.” Mimi said as we walked. “Kana’s right. They’re cute and perky. And everyone seemed to like them when I was dancing.”

“I told you.” Kana laughed.

“Well, I’m glad you found your self-confidence. Maybe you’ll be a regular at Club Zendee.” I said

“Maybe.” Mimi smiled. “Thanks for bringing us.”

“You’re welcome.” I smiled at her.

“Did you have a good time, Kana?”

“Yeah, I had fun. It was nice to do something new and different, but I don’t think I could ever go up there and dance like that again.”

“Why not? You were great.”

“No way, I was way too nervous. But, thanks for pushing me to do it. It was fun and I’m glad I did it.”

“Good, you should always try something new.” I smiled.

I spent a little extra money and ordered a cab to pick us up. It was a cold night and we were a bit drunk. We sat in the back and talked the whole way home. It was a nice ride and the car was warm.

We got home and opened a few more drinks. Mimi was still buzzing from the club. She was full of energy and was excited. She kept telling us about the people in the club. Kana was listening closely to her stories. I was sitting next to Mimi on the couch, and I placed my hand on her thigh. She didn’t move away from my touch, so I left it there. She smiled at me and then continued her story.

Kana was listening intently and sipping her drink. She was looking at Mimi’s face and nodding. I slowly slid my hand up her thigh and towards her pussy. She didn’t move, and I kept going. I moved my fingers closer to her pussy and then pushed them inside. She gasped as I entered her tight slit. I fingered her pussy for a few seconds and she didn’t move. I was expecting her to pull away from me or slap my hand away, but she didn’t.

I moved my fingers deeper inside her and started to fuck her with them. She was squirming in her seat and trying not to moan. She was biting her lip and gripping her glass. Kana was watching Mimi’s reaction to me. Mimi’s eyes closed and her mouth was open. Her breathing was heavy and her chest was heaving.

I finger fucked her harder and faster. She was squirming more and her eyes were rolling into the back of her head. Her body was trembling and she was shaking. Kana was staring at her. I moved my fingers out of her pussy and stuck them in her mouth. She licked and sucked them clean. Then I took my wet fingers and started rubbing her clit. Her whole body was shaking. Kana was watching every second. I rubbed her clit harder and faster. She was squirming more and was panting. I knew she was about to cum. I rubbed her clit faster and she moaned softly.

Then her body stiffened. She was cumming. She was cumming hard. I could see the muscles in her neck tighten. Her mouth was wide open. She was making little whimpers as her body jerked and spasmed. Her legs were spread wide open and her pussy was soaking wet. Her body started to relax and she slumped forward. Her breathing was returning to normal. Kana watched as she went limp.

“So as you were saying.” Kana said.

Mimi looked up at her.

“Oh right, yeah.” Mimi said, trying to act like she didn’t just cum. “Anyways, that’s when I met...”

Mimi kept telling her story, while I kept rubbing her clit and fingering her pussy. Every few seconds, she would squirm and shake. She would let out little moans and her body would tremble. But she kept going.

After a few minutes, Mimi finished her story and Kana excused herself to the bathroom. That’s when I noticed the Doll Chip’s soft glow. I checked the time and it was well past 3 am. The chip hadn’t been active for over an hour. I thought Mimi was enjoying me on her own, but it was the chip that was allowing me to touch her.

“Well, that was a great story.” I said and stood up.

“Yeah, it was. Thanks for listening.” Mimi smiled and stood up as well.

“Why don’t you get into bed Mimi, I’ll catch up with you.” I said.

“I’ll see you there!” She stood on her toes and kissed me.

After Mimi got into bed, I went to the bathroom. Kana was brushing her teeth and washing her face. She had her makeup off and she looked beautiful. Her long black hair was falling down her back and her brown eyes were bright and clear. Her body exposed body looked amazing. Her curves were perfect and her tits were small and perky. Her nipples were hard and her skin looked soft and smooth.

“Hi.” She smiled and turned to face me.

“Hey.” I said and leaned against the sink.

“Did you have fun tonight?” She asked.

“Yeah, I did.”

“I did too.”

“You did? What was your favorite part?”

“Well, when I first went up on stage, I was nervous. I felt really exposed. And then I saw you and you waved at me. You made me feel comfortable. I wasn’t scared anymore. I felt like I was just dancing for you. I didn’t care what the other people were doing or thinking. It was just me and you.”

“Wow, that’s really sweet.” I said.

“And, then when Mimi was dancing, she was so confident. She was just having a great time and everyone was loving it. It was really inspiring. I was happy to see her being so bold and brave. She was just letting loose and being herself. And, I don’t know, I kind of felt bad for her because she thinks her tits are too small. So I said that she shouldn’t be ashamed of her body. She doesn’t need big tits. But she just kept talking about how she wished hers were bigger. It made me feel like maybe she doesn’t think they are as cute and perky as I do.”

“That’s really nice of you. I’m sure she appreciates it.”

“I hope so. It’s not fair that women are always worried about how they look. They shouldn’t be. I mean, look at me. I don’t care what size my boobs are. They’re not huge, they’re small. I just love them. If I can appreciate my body, why can’t Mimi? Why does she feel like she has to have big tits to be sexy? It’s stupid. It’s all bullshit. Girls are supposed to be confident and happy with themselves.”

“It sounded like you started to convince her by the end of the night.” I reassured.

“Well, I hope so. She’s young and she’s beautiful. She should enjoy her body and her life.”

“You’re right.”

“Anyways, I’m exhausted. I’m gonna go get some sleep.” She said and started to walk out of the bathroom.

“Kana wait.” I grabbed her arm. “About Mimi.”

“Yeah, what about her?”

“I thought she wasn’t on the chip when we were on the couch.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“I was hoping that she was letting me do that on her own.”

“I don’t understand.”

“The Doll Chip, Kana. I was hoping it wasn’t on and she was letting me do that because she wanted to.”

“So you’ve falling for her? Haven’t you?”

“I guess so.”

“That’s a dangerous game to play.”

“I know. That’s why I was hoping that she was enjoying it on her own.”

“You’re not going to give up though, are you?”

“No.”

“Why? Why would you put yourself through this? Why not just find someone who actually wants to be with you?”

“I don’t know. I can’t help myself. She’s just so cute and sweet. And, the way she looks at me, the way she touches me. It just feels right. Like she wants to be with me.”

“I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

“I know. And I appreciate it.”

“She’s on a Doll Chip, Cell. All the sex and lovely girlfriend stuff is programmed. You knew that when you ordered her.”

“I know.”

“She’s a machine.”

“She’s not. She’s real.”

“Cell, she’s a Doll. When she’s on the chip she’s not a person. She’s just a sex toy. You can enjoy a sex toy but you can’t love a sex toy.”

“She is a person. She--”

“Cell.” Kana signed and put her hands on my arms. “I’m worried about you. This is hurting you. I can tell. And I can’t just stand here and watch you get hurt. Please, just stop. She’s a Doll. Just enjoy the sex. Don’t make it anything more.”

“Okay.” I said softly.

“Promise?”

“I promise.”

“Good.” She said and hugged me.

“Can we get to the kissing part yet?” I joked.

“No.” She laughed. “You’ve been drinking and you’re upset. That’s a bad combination. Go get some sleep.”

“Fine.” I groaned.

“Good, see you there.” Kana smiled and left the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and got ready for bed. When I was standing next to the bed, Mimi was already fast asleep. She was lying on her side with her legs pulled up to her chest. Her hair was covering her face and the chip on her neck glowed dimly. I looked at her and thought about everything that Kana had said.

“She’s a Doll, Cell. A fucking Doll. Just use her and enjoy it. Don’t try to turn it into something more. She’s just on the Chip. She doesn’t feel anything for you. You can’t love a Doll. When she’s on the chip she’s just an object for pleasure.” I kept telling myself over and over.

I laid down between Kana and Mimi and pulled Mimi close to me. I felt her body against mine. She was so warm and soft. Her skin felt like silk. Her breathing was shallow and her chest rose and fell gently.

“Just a Doll, just a Doll.”

I kept repeating it to myself.

I felt Kana’s hand touch my arm. I looked over and she was staring at me.

“You okay?” She whispered.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” I lied.

“Get some sleep.” She whispered and closed her eyes.

I watched Kana for a few moments. She was beautiful. Her features were soft and her skin was flawless. Her hair was shiny and her lips looked so ... Her chest rose and fell as she slept.

“She’s just a Doll, Cell. Don’t do this to yourself. Don’t let yourself fall in love with her. It’s only gonna lead to pain and suffering.” I thought as I looked back at Mimi.

I thought about Kana’s words and what she was saying. I thought about the times that I had spent with Mimi. How much fun we had together. The laughs and the smiles. The sex and the intimate moments. But none of these intimate moments were off the chip. The only time we had sex was when Mimi was on the chip. I couldn’t keep lying to myself.

I lay in bed for a few hours before finally falling asleep.

I woke up to a familiar feeling. Mimi’s pussy was wrapped around my cock. She squatted over me and slowly lowered and raised herself over me.

“Mimi.” I moaned.

“Good morning, Cell.” She smiled.

“Morning.” I said, trying to focus on Kana’s words from last night.

“How did you sleep?” She asked.

“Good.” I lied.

“Great. I had a good night, too.” She smiled and kept riding me.

Her hair was going straight down her back. I could clearly see the doll chip on her neck. I watched its soft glow slowly flashing to indicate it was on and active.

“So did you have fun last night?” I asked, still staring at the doll chip.

“Yeah. It was a lot of fun. Did you have fun?” She smiled and kept bouncing on my cock.

“Yeah, it was great.” I said, trying to keep my mind focused on Kana’s warning.

“I’m glad. I love spending time with you.”

“Me too.”

“I wish we could do it more often.” She said.

“Me too.” I said, but I was still staring at the chip.

“Hey, are you okay?” She stopped bouncing and looked down at me.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Why?”

“You just seem distracted.” She said as she sat on my cock.

“Sorry, it’s nothing.” I smiled.

“Are you sure? If something’s bothering you, you can tell me.”

“I’m sure.”

“Okay.” She smiled and started to bounce again.

I lay there and watched her. Her tits were bouncing and her hair was swinging. I could feel her tight pussy gripping my cock. She was moaning and panting. I could see the pleasure on her face.

“She’s just a Doll.” I thought. “A doll for fucking. I don’t love her. I love being in her.”

I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the pleasure. The feeling of her pussy sliding up and down my shaft. Her wetness coated my skin. The sounds of her moaning.

“She’s a fucking Doll, Cell. Just use her.” I kept thinking.

I tried to concentrate on the pleasure. On the feeling of her body moving up and down. Of her pussy tightening around me. I could feel myself getting close to cumming. I opened my eyes and looked at her. Her hair was sticking to her face. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were closed. She was moaning and gasping. Her pussy was wet and slick. I could feel the tip of my cock hitting the deepest parts of her. I could feel her pussy spasming around me. She was about to cum.

“If she’s just a doll for fucking. That’s what I’ll do.” I yelled in my mind.

I grabbed her hips and thrust up into her. She cried out and her pussy tightened. I could feel her whole body shaking. She was cumming. I felt her pussy convulsing around me. I thrust up into her and my cock exploded. My cum shot deep inside her. Her body was still trembling. I was still buried deep inside her.

“She’s just a doll. Just a fuck toy. You can’t love a toy.”

We were both breathing hard. She was lying on top of me. Her head was resting on my chest. Her pussy was still tight around my cock. We stayed like that for a few minutes. Neither of us said anything.

“Was it good?” She asked.

“It was great.”

“I’m glad. I just love spending time with you.”

“I like fucking you.” I replied.

“What did you say?” She whispered.

“I said, I like spending time with you too.” I said.

“Good. I’m glad.” She said and lifted her head to look at me.

Her eyes were sparkling with joy and her smile was bright. Her hair was falling in her face. I reached up and brushed her hair out of her eyes. She smiled and pushed up to kiss me. Our lips met and we kissed. I felt her tongue slide into my mouth. She was moaning and her pussy was clenching around the head of my my cock.

“Fuck it. I’ll enjoy this for now. I don’t have to love her, but I can enjoy her.” I thought.

We broke apart and she rested her head on my chest again. I wrapped my arms around her and held her. We lay there for a few more minutes. Just enjoyed the closeness. Then she lifted her head and smiled at me.

Kana was still out of a job so she was home all day. That didn’t stop me from taking her advice and using Mimi for what she was intended for. I spent the whole day with Mimi, fucking her in every position and every hole. She loved it. Every time she came she would beg for more. I gave her exactly what she wanted. By the end of the day, her body was covered in sweat and cum. I had filled her mouth, her pussy, and her ass with as much cum as I could produce. She didn’t eat today but her belly was full. She was exhausted. But she was smiling and satisfied.

“Cell.” Mimi moaned.

“Yes,” I said as I played with her clit.

“I love you.”

I had heard her say it many times today while we were fucking. I knew she didn’t really mean it. It was part of her Doll programming to say it.

I ignored her and kept playing with her clit. She sat up and pulled herself away from me. I looked up and saw the Chip wasn’t glowing.

“I was thinking of going out tonight.” She said.

“Yeah? Where?” I sat up and asked.

“Well, I was thinking of going to Club Zendee again.”

“I was thinking of staying in tonight and all of us watching a movie or something.” Kana said.

“I don’t mind going alone. I’ve learned a lot about the city and how to get around.”

“But I don’t want you going out alone.” I blurted out.

I saw Kana shoot me a look from the bed.
