Late as it is, Benjiro had already wrapped up his two-hour stream online for the evening but remains seated at his desk while he attends to matters of homework for school. The message alert pings from his speakers, and he glances to the direct message with Walter that comes to the front of the screen. Concise, he reads it in a flash and he sends back a response as quickly as his fingers can move.
Sadie wants to see him, but Walter is the one telling him. If she can't message him or call him, something has gone wrong.
Out the door in 3 minutes and I'll be there as soon as I can.
Already half risen from his seat, he sends the partial work to his online storage and closes it out. Shutting down the computer, he waits for it to cycle down before hitting the power switch, and changes clothing as he waits for that process. In appropriate attire, if hastily donned, he reassembles his backpack for school and slides it onto his shoulders before snagging his phone along with a small bag left tucked away under his desk. Benjiro prepares for all reasonable possibilities, and that small bag is all he needs to stay somewhere else overnight.
Lights flipped off and door shut, he nearly vaults down the entire staircase in a few bounds with the noise causing his aunts to pause their television program. He yells through the house to his great aunts, "Aunt Rosemary, Aunt Agatha! I have to go! Walter's having an urgent plumbing issue and he can't get anyone else out! I'll text you if I stay overnight!" Excuse answered with an affirmative understanding, he bolts out the door at a sprint for the station.
