Taiga and Ken were both sipping beer and chatting in one of the empty booths of Weekend Garage. It had been a long time since they had sat down and talked like two friends in their twenties.

As Ken was in the middle of telling a story they both liked about An when she was a child, his smartwatch pinged.

'An has finished a workout'...

How strange. Wasn't that delinquent Akito staying over at her room to work on gig outfits?

Ken's eyebrows knit together in confusion, and Taiga noticed.

“Ken,” he started, “What's up? You look confused.”
