The Absence of Wrath

The whole thing screamed danger.Manu knew he should keep walking despite the rain, despite the lack of coat or umbrella or anything, but with his roommate Kapua wanted by the police and nowhere safe to go, the offer of a ride wherever he wanted to go was too good to pass up.

Probably too good to be true, actually.

But Ekene didn't give of creeper vibes. Despite everything, he seemed like an honestly nice guy doing a good turn.

If only the little things weren't weird enough to make the hair stand up on the back of Manu's neck, Manu might, possibly, want to stick around Ekene for a lot longer than just one night.
