Rin's First Drink

It’s Jirou’s birthday, so Nana calls up Rin and invites her to celebrate with them later that night. She asks if Satoru will be there, and Nana answers that Jirou invited him, but Satoru hasn’t confirmed if he’ll be there or not. Rin’s reluctant to go out, but as per usual Nana begs her and she eventually agrees to go. Nana says that they’ll be at her house at 8 o’clock sharp to pick her up. 8:56 rolls around, and Rin gets a call from Nana.

“Rin!! Sorry for being so late, but Jirou and I were… busy for longer than planned. [she giggles] We’re turning the corner, be there in a sec!”

Rin peeks through the blinds of her window and sees Jirou pull up with Nana. As Jirou comes to a stop and begins turning the car around, Nana hops out while it’s still moving and runs up to Rin’s porch. Jirou yells at her, “Quit doing that!” Nana turns to him and sticks out her tongue, playfully. Jirou rolls his eyes and rolls up the window.

Rin comes out in her casual clothes, so Nana drags Rin back to her room and picks out a cute dress for her to wear from her closet.

“Rin!! I bought this for you two months ago, why is the tag still on it?”

“I haven’t worn it.”

“Clearly. Well let’s get you dressed, I’ll pick out your shoes and handbag.”

Rin nods and takes the dress from Nana and starts undressing.

When Rin’s done, she’s shown wearing a little black dress with sheer sleeves (refer to "Rin's Dress") with flats and a brown leather satchel, since she doesn’t own any other handbags.

When Rin and Nana are ready, the two of them hop in the car with Jirou and they head out to the center of Yanagi City. They arrive at a bar and head inside. Rin is hesitant, but follows along. They walk inside and are greeted by three of Jirou’s friends, two men and one woman, all in their mid to late twenties, none of which are Satoru. They all sit down, Rin at the booth, and Nana next to Jirou on chairs across the table from Rin (Refer to "Seating")

“Hey babe, you didn’t mention you were inviting more people?” Nana whispers to Jirou. He brushes her off and talks with his other friends. Nana looks at Rin and mouths “sorry”.

*Mmm, alcohol and small talk. Rin’s favorite :)))*

Jirou’s creepy friend (unnamed) hits on Rin before Satoru arrives. He’s pressuring her to drink. Satoru comes just as the creep tries making a move on Rin. Satoru says something smooth/witty that puts the guy in his place. He then sits in between the two. (Refer to "Seating w Satoru")

The first time Rin ever drinks, she doesn’t feel anything for a while, so she keeps drinking. This is because she’s subconsciously fighting the sensations because she wants to keep control of her mind. Nana tells her that she’s allowed to “let go”, and with that she relaxes her tense muscles and all the drinks start to catch up to her.

When Satoru goes to the bathroom, the creep swoops in and sits next to Rin and puts his arm around her. Rin tells him to let go of her because he smells. He looks offended and stands up with Male Friend 1 (to let him by), calling her a bitch as he walks by, heading toward the bar. A drunk and irritated Nana says “Hey, asshole!” and punches him in the nose and he falls on the floor. Jirou looks embarrassed and heads out for a smoke. Jirou’s other friend gets pissed at Nana and goes to pick the creep up. Nana, now feeling self conscious about her decision, looks to Rin, who gives her a thumbs up and a devilish grin. Nana has tears swelling in her eyes and reaches across the table to hug Rin. (Later when Kairi hears about the punch, he says “That’s badass!!”)

Rin is a giggly, mischievous, and sleepy drunk.

The next morning she gets an awful hangover and swears to never drink again. “That was... exhausting.”
