“Kengi?"
"Yeah?"
I take a deep breath. Try to count the stars. "What am I going to do?"
"About what?"
I hesitate. "About everything."
Kenji makes a strange sound. "Shit if I know."
"I don't want to do this without you," I whisper.
He leans back. "Who said you're going to do anything without me?"
My heart skips a few beats. I stare at him.
"What?" he asks. Raises his eyebrows. "You're surprised?"
"You'll fight with me?" I ask him, hardly breathing. "Fight back with me? Even if it's with Warner?"
Kenji smiles. Looks up at the sky. "Hell yeah," he says.
"Really?"
"I'm here for you, kid. That's what friends are for.”
