[You're telling him, Katsura.]
Hehe~ I know that already! After the aliens that look like humans and all the AR monsters that suddenly turn real I'm prepared for anything!
PS: AR = Artificial Reality, I keep forgetting that only a few know about this kind of stuff here, sorry!

[Dinner at McCeres isn't Peko's normal way of eating, and really... this kind of heavy Western food isn't much to her tastes at all. The smell just isn't all that appealing.
At least since Katsura's taken over, there's soba on the menu, which is better than a burger in her opinion. She could get soba at any of the street stalls, though, so the food is definitely not the reason for her showing up. She actually doesn't eat much of it once she's sat down with it, toying listlessly with the noodles for a few minutes before standing decisively and making her way toward the counter.]
I want to speak with the manager here.
[She sounds really serious about it, too!]

[As soon as Zura's eyes fall shut, Sakamoto yells:]
ZURA! OI, ZURA!
[Nothing, he hears nothing.
Sakamoto can still hear breathing, so Zura isn't dead as of yet. He quickens his pace, practically running in the direction of the hospital. Since his friend can't see him, the worry begins to really show on his face- He's lost one too many friends from back then, because he wasn't fast enough, wasn't strong enough.
Because he couldn't do anything at all.
Move forward, Tatsuma. Move forward.]

[Oh no... she hadn't realized he would be quite so busy. Neither of her jobs have any kind of stress associated with them, so she had almost assumed his to be the same. She'd kind of been counting on him not being busy that now she's a little thrown.]
...It's nothing pressing. Forgive me, I'll come back later when you are finished working.
[No, wait, she did have something she wanted to talk to him about--! But her usual tendency to assume that people she respects have things to do that are far more important than anything she has kind of gets in the way.]
Do you have a pencil and some comment cards? Just two or three of them.

[Yeah, those lines at the lunch bar can be hell. Or at least he thinks that's what Katsura meant. Probably.]
Sure! I'm still on the lookout for those ambiguously vibrating items Hiro-kun wants anyway. Just tell me what you'd like to know about and I'll let you know as soon as I find something!

Thank you.
[She'll head that way in a second, but,]
What time are you finished here? There are some things I would like to go over with you.

[There's a special warmth in the way Sakamoto smiles when he opens the door. His cheeks are alight with the glow of real joy, and his hair is even more tousled than usual.
As he removes his shoes, it becomes apparent that there's a parcel in one hand.]
Yo, Zura~! Are you in?

[Maybe it's because Sakamoto treats the other two just the same- And to be completely fair, his names for them are even worse. Perhaps that's why they get along! Katsura and Sakamoto have a quiet understanding. From Sakamoto's end, perhaps that's because Katsura's eccentricity and bizarre habits are interesting to him- He's serious to a fault and highly traditional, and yet...
There's something oddly goofy about him. It's wonderful.]
Ahhhhh.
[There's a brief, nervous sound that echoes quickly before dying in his throat.]
I thought you were out last night!
[In contrast to Zura, Sakamoto's clothes are definitely a little wrinkled and in need of a wash and a good ironing. Somebody had a little too much fun.]

[Sakamoto barely understands. He tugs on the edge of his scarf, which was clearly thrown on in a hurry. Surprisingly, he hadn't expected to stay over, just thinking they'd have dinner and she'd tire of him after an hour or two, but instead...]
Rest? Who said anything about that?
I'm gonna head to work! In a minute-
[He did sleep well, but god, at what time? Sakamoto doesn't remember. Celty isn't human, she doesn't need sleep, but he does.
He wobbles, as does the parcel.]

[Sakamoto smiles brightly and just stands there, idly, like an idiot. It's as if he has no idea that there's something in his hand at all. Perhaps it's the lack of proper sleep and the warm, fuzzy feelings in his stomach.
Did he forget? Did he forget that he bought anything at all?]
