Ryo nods, as he turns his attention to the tv, the bowl and chopsticks in hand, as he watches the program. He wasn't sure how he was feeling, since he still had no idea, just who had pushed him. If it was a prank of some kind, he wasn't going to take that, lightly. He had actually felt something or rather, someone, make contact with his back. He felt the actual pressure of hands against his back, even through his school uniform, and they had actively shoved him. Thankfully, the ankle injury was very minor and he had no other injuries, so he would recover in no time. When he finishes his food, he leans forward, resting the empty bowl and dirty chopsticks on the table. As he leans back, he feels his hand brush against Tanakawa's. Looking over at her, he raises an eyebrow, noticing her blush. The way that her head moved, after the gesture, told him, that she was trying to avoid him seeing. He wasn't going to make a comment on it, because she seemed to be very embarrassed. Hearing the door, he nods, returning his attention to the tv. When he sees the woman, Mrs. Hasegawa, he nods, respectfully, to her. Thank you very much. We appreciate the dessert," He says. He wasn't a fan of strawberries, but he wouldn't be rude, and refuse a free dessert.

"I have been in one of my baking moods again. I love baking for Kumiko and her family. Is there anything that you need?" Mrs. Hasegawa asked as she looked at Kumiko, who was taking the cheesecake to the kitchen.
"I think we are all good, Mrs. Hasegawa. Thank you for the cheesecake. it looks so good," Kumiko said as she bowed to her after placing the cheesecake on the counter.
"Well, if there is anything, I am just next door," Mrs. Hasegawa announced as she said goodbye to both Kumiko and Ryo.
Kumiko then grabbed a pie knife and started cutting into the cheesecake. "Would you like a piece Okada-san? Mrs. Hasegawa is a really good baker. I love it when she brings over desserts. They always taste really good," Kumiko announce as she walked over to another cabinet to grab two small plates in case he wanted a piece.

Since he couldn't stand up, to bow to Mrs. Hasegawa, Ryo nods his head in gratitude. Normally, he would do, as Tanagawa had done, standing up to bow. But he was having a great deal of difficulty, bearing weight on his ankle. It was also a complete pain, to stand up, with his crutches, and then sit back down, again. But it seemed, that Mrs. Hasegawa was understanding about his situation. When she leaves, Ryo looks over at Tanagawa, nodding his head. "I'll have a small piece, thank you," He says. He did enjoy sweets, and while strawberry wasn't his favorite, he would eat it. And he was sure, that Mrs. Hasegawa was a good baker. Baking was something, that was complicated, but when it was done, he often found that the results were always positive.

Cutting a small piece for Ryo, she sets it on the plate with a fork, and brings it over to him. "Here you go. I was wondering if maybe you could tell me a little more about when you got pushed. I have a hunch about what it could be. But....you said that it could have been an accident...like another player did this to you?" Kumiko asked as she sat down on the couch. She could hear the thunder starting to dissipate, but the rain was still pounding onto the glass. She looked over at Haku who was laying on her cat tower, sleeping. "I kind of wanted to see if my hunch is right." She takes a bite of her cheesecake and smiles. It was the best cheesecake that she had ever tasted. Strawberries were her favorite fruit, and she loved anything with strawberries in it.

Taking the fork and offered plate, Ryo leans back a bit, so that he could eat the piece of cheesecake. Cutting into his slice, he brings the piece to his mouth, before glancing up at Tanakawa. "What happened? Well, it's hard to say. I was up on the third floor of the library. Students do go up there and there were students there, when I went, but it's not a popular spot. I gathered those books and was heading back down, to check them out. I think I was about halfway down, when I felt some hands on my back. I was shoved, pretty hard. I doubt that it was another player. None of the other soccer players go up there. I'm probably the only person from my team, who has gone up there. When I looked back, it looked a little bit dark, like a veil of shadow. I could swear that I saw someone up there, looking at me. With this cheeky grin, that looks like it could use a good kick in the teeth, for," He says.

Kumiko thought for a moment as she set down her cheesecake down on the table. She looked like she was deep in thought. "Let me get my computer from my room, and then we can look up some things on this. I have a feeling about something..." Kumiko said as she got up. She walked over to her room and grabbed her computer and the yearbooks. When she returned, she sat down on the floor near Ryo, and put in her password to her computer. Clicking on the internet, Kumiko put in the words Rin Hayashi into the search bar and pressed enter. Several Opening the yearbook in her lap, she finds a picture of Rin and decided to double check with the picture. After going through a dozen links, Kumiko finds one for a lawyer and looks at the picture that was on the website. She looked exactly like Rin in the yearbook. "This is her. She is a lawyer here in Tokyo. Here is her phone number and everything for her office. She hands Ryo the yearbook so that he could double check. "We can go to her office after school on Monday if you want....Or...I can go myself. I know you are not invested in this like I am..." Kumiko announces as she looks back down at her lap.

Taking a bite from the cheesecake, Ryo looks over Tanakawa's shoulder, as she types into her computer, looking away, when she types in her password. He never needed to know that sort of information, since it wasn't any of his business. When she pulls up a picture of a woman, he furrows his brow, looking at the photo. "Remind me again, why we are looking at a picture of this woman? She's just a lawyer," He says. He takes the yearbook, before seeing a much younger version of Hayashi, in the yearbook. Does this woman have any connection, with this case, that you are looking into? Sure she is from that grade, but there is no guarantee that she knows anything. Each graduating class, has always been rather large, so not every student would experience the exact same thing," He says, taking another bite of cheesecake. It was definitely good, just a bit sweet, but there was a glass of water for him, that would help wash down this rich, sweet taste. Strawberries weren't his favorite either, but it was definitely a good cheesecake. "I'll have to see if I'm free, that day. Mondays, I'm working on a chemistry project, that counts for about 40% of my grade. If I can get my part done, for that day, I might be able to join you," He says.
