Minako's face fell as Fuuka firmly latched her hand to her bag and continued running. Only running was on her mind, not her friend's predicament. The intent was to keep the bag from catching, spilling, or anything else. A wonderful idea for someone who only needs to run away. A dreadful one if a spill is exactly what a dear friend needs. Fuuka's concern for herself and her gear left a pale Minako to bask in the artificial light surrounding the shrine while the crisp breeze teased her sensitive flesh.
The footsteps only grew louder, snapping the SEES leader from her mumbled prayers and sending her running towards the offertory box. It wouldn't be very hard to hide from the street if she ducked down behind it, but the milky white skin of her back could be seen if her interlopers were here to make a prayer. Anything else would have been preferable, but with the bell locked up for the night the only other hiding spots were the statues along the side of the box and the support beams behind them. They'd offer the same protection, but Minako would have to be on her knees the whole time, leaving one bad slip to expose her in more ways than one, and she could be seen from the sides. The box allowed her to lie down and focus on the world around her, await the moment when she could make her way back to the dorm.
Minako felt her heart sink. Even on the other side of the shrine, they could be heard as clearly as a gun shot. The group had stopped in front of the shrine, surrounding Minako. She'd have to endure this and hope they go away without approaching the shrine. Fortunately, they were still on the sidewalk, letting Minako rest easy for a moment. It was an opportunity to replay the night in her mind and figure out how this whole thing turned sour, or find some way to get out of this without hurting Fuuka's feelings.
"'Sorry Fuuka-chan, but I can't do it,'" Minako mumbled to her imagination. "'I'd love to help you, but Junpei-kun found out some creep's been taking secret photos of me. I don't think I should strip in public under these circumstances.'"
Why didn't I just say that? It's Fuuka-chan! I can talk to her about anything! She'd worry about me, forget about her photos, and we'd get ice cream to talk about solutions. All I had to do was tell my friend my...troubles. And then she wouldn't feel responsible if someone else posted other nude pics of me around school...
Her eyes downcast, Minako continued, "Maybe I wasn't such a good friend tonight, Fuuka-chan."
"D'you guys here something?" one of the intruders called.
Shut up, Minako! Stop mumbling and keep it to yourself!
