[When Makoto gets a call from a human bar, asking him to pick a certain doctor pal of his up because of 'things getting bad', the poor Doppelgรคnger's mind immediately jumps to imaging a whole flurry of worst case scenarios. All of them star Akira, of course, because 1) he knows that Akira-kun had been excited to visit a doctor convention over in Yokohama today, and 2) it's Akira! The last time Makoto turned his back on him and told him to have fun the Dodomeki came back with a whole menagerie of freshly caught alien specimens to study and experiment on!
Usually his friend, soulmate, savior and occasional bane of his existence (or at least sanity) is doing more than just a good job at being well-behaved, that much needs to be said for fairness' sake, but if he's really involved in something that bad that it warranties calling Makoto away from his job-
Yeah, something really bad must have happened! Maybe there was an accident. Akira-kun could have seen something interesting and not realized that he'd walked into a busy road, or just stopped in front of a car and gotten hit, or what if he accidentally revealed that he's a youkai!? What if somebody caught his interest and he attacked them and now he's about to be thrown into human jail because his victim misunderstood his intentions?? What if he caught some weird human virus and got sick??
......
Long story short, it takes Makoto exactly 8:02 minutes to ask some of his Mandragora-colleagues to take over for him tonight, flag down a Gida-cab and make his way over to the address he's been given. He's in such a rush that he almost forgets to change his appearance into Akira's before he meets the first humans. 8:54 minutes after the call he bursts into the bar, appearing out of breath and wearing a rather bad choice of a doctor's coat over his outfit as he's looking for his friend and whoever had called him.]
Hello?! I'm, uh, Makoto-- ....You called me because of my brother?
[ The sudden entrance startles a few of the humans that had been hanging around by the door, easy to tell even only some seconds in that the atmosphere of the place is...relaxed? Downright chill, even. Past them it looks like your average nomikai, nerds in their dress shirts and glasses simply enjoying themselves, though before Makoto can spot where his soulmate, savior, bane might be in all this recognition snaps in the eyes of one of the folks up front, and he takes it upon himself to approach.
'Ah, that was a lot faster than we expected. You must be Takahashi's--' ]
Makoootoooooo~!
[ And there he is. It's not clear where he was hiding, the place is upscale but not spacious by any means, yet here comes Akira, face flushed with drink and a smile a mile wide.
He wastes no time in grabbing at Makoto's arm, trying to urge him further inside. ]
Everyone's so nice here, you should come and have a drink with us too!
[ 'He...he probably shouldn't, Takahashi-san. He's here to take you home.' ]
